My problem is I cannot get the restore button in itunes to click.... Im trying to get the program to click the iphone in the listbox to the left and then click the restore button but it wont click...

Ive used spy++ to grab the button caption and class: button and i tried finding control id to click it but cant make use of anything... it just wont click! ={ Point of it is to click the restore button in itunes...

[triumphost]

Can someone please tell me how to click a button using its handle?! Im confused... I have a button caption, i know its a button and i have its handle...

[mitrmkar]

I have a button caption, i know its a button and i have its handle...

Are you sure about that? FindWindowxx() may very well return NULL. So, first thing to do, would be to add code that checks that you actually receive handles to those windows. Upon failure, you may get some insight by calling GetLastError() to see what the error code is.

[triumphost]

it finds the window and everything ive used spy++ to make sure i got the right window and stuff it just wont click the button.... is there a way to click the button using its handle? cuz there is the restore button as well which is actually the maximize button and then there is another button called restore but its actually to restore the phone itself...

so i wanted to know how to click a button using its handle.

Well, there definitely is. First lets explain how a child window (like a button) reacts when pressed in the window properly. We know it is run through the WndProc function and uses 4 variables, HWND, MSG, WPARAM, LPARAM. Knowing what the button sends when pressed, you can send a message manually as if it was pressed. msg should always be the WM_COMMAND since it is a child window and WPARAM should be its ID. the HWND will be the parent windows.

Also a better way would be to sniff the window messages when you press the button and see what exactly is send. There are window message sniffers out there that can do this for you, you just have to go through the other messages sent to find the one you want. Shouldn't be too hard, you can ignore all messages that are not WM_COMMAND. This will help you to send a manual SendMessage that will enable you to press the button virtually.
