Question Find Child Window

[Zexor]

I am trying to find the handle of the child window for the Yes button in the User Account Control window so i can click it. This window has a structure with a few child windows with the same name.

        Dim hwnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "User Account Control")
        Dim hwnd2 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd, 0, "DirectUIHWND", vbNullString)
        Dim hwnd3 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd2, 0, "CtrlNotifySink", vbNullString)
        Dim hwnd4 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd3, 0, "Button", "&Yes")

There are multiple CtrNotifySink with its own Button child window or other child windows. How do i search thru the different CtrNotifySink window to find the one that contain the Yes button so i can send a click to it?

I do need to find it before i can send a click, right? because i try just sending it to the main window with sendmessage and nothing happen.

I even try sending it directly to the handle found by spy++ of the yes button with bm click but nothing happen

ok i figured out how to find the button handle in the child window. but i am still unable to get the button to click. The code works fine on another window, just not the UAC window

I'm pretty darn sure its blocked, it it wasn't it would make UAC 100% useless...

Why in the world do you need to do this for a legit application?

Hi Zexor,
