Forums Developers EnumChildWindows

I'm using EnumChildWindows(), and I want the hwnd of the 18th child window, this is the proc I'm using;

BOOL CALLBACK EnumChildProc(HWND hwndChild, LPARAM lParam)
{
int idChild;
char buffer[999];

counter++;

if (counter == 18) {

idChild = GetWindowLong(hwndChild, GWL_ID);

GetWindowText(hwndChild,buffer,999);

return TRUE;
}
return 0;
}

Howdo I return 'buffer'???

how about asking this in some programming forum.. this is about mIRC SCRIPTING

I do believe he's making a mirc dll

This ia developer forum. I am making a mIRC DLL. And I actually meant to say I want to return the hwnd of the 18th child window...

That's what I said.

ok i've scrapped the enumchildwindows idea and gone for a while loop, although im not sure if i'm getting the hwnd i want or not:

counter = 0;

while (counter <= 18) {
child = GetWindow(window,GW_CHILD);

if (IsChild(window,child)) {
GetWindow(child,GW_HWNDNEXT);
counter++;
}
else { counter++; }
}

HDC hdc = GetDC(child);

wsprintf(data,"%d",(INT)child);

return 3;

}

however now that i have that hwnd, i want to get the data it has but i have no idea on how to do it

not that i know much of any language, other than vb.. but wouldn't this still work:



the while loop looks like it will still work and looks cleaner to me

ive had to scrap this project. i cant get any text from the child hwnd im getting.

actually you were close from the start.

Go back with Enum* and pass your buffer as the LPARAM argument. ie

char buffer[512];
EnumChildWindows(hwnd,(LPARAM)buffer);

your enum proc simply typecasts the lp arg to a char * and you fill it.
