-- Posted by j3100 at 2:08 pm on Dec. 30, 2007 I'm trying to get handles for buttons, textboxes and other controls inside tabbed boxes of a 3rd party windows form, but those functions listed above do not seem to be able to "see" inside the tab controls.  Here is some code that I have now: Code:    Private Sub btnPress_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPress.Click        Dim hwnd As IntPtr        hwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Joe")        Dim ptrChildWindows() As IntPtr = GetWindows(hwnd)        For iCounter As Integer = 0 To ptrChildWindows.Length - 1            'grab the current handle to process...            Dim ptrCurrent As IntPtr = ptrChildWindows(iCounter)            'get the window text...            Dim sText As String = GetWindowText(ptrCurrent)            TextBox2.AppendText(sText & vbCrLf)            'check to see if this is the button we are looking for...            If sText = "Click" Then                'click the button to close the dialog...                ClickButton(ptrCurrent)                'done deal...                Exit For            End If        Next    End Sub Does anybody know of a way to get the child handles that are inside the tab control?  It get's handles for controls that are outside the tab just fine.
