FindWindow in C#(via pinvoke) finds desired window handle, but not in the desired conditions. How do I fix it?
See the question and my original answer on StackOverflowAnother approach is to use the UI Automation technology that's built in Windows. For example, this sample Console app should work. And because it's event-based, it does not need to use timers which can be context-dependent:
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Automation.AddAutomationEventHandler(WindowPattern.WindowOpenedEvent, AutomationElement.RootElement, TreeScope.Children, (sender, e) =>
{
var element = sender as AutomationElement;
if (element.Current.Name == "Параметры быстродействия")
{
Console.WriteLine("hwnd:" + element.Current.NativeWindowHandle);
}
});
Process.Start("SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe");
Console.ReadLine(); // wait ...
Automation.RemoveAllEventHandlers(); // cleanup
}
It works fine on my Windows 10 x64 machine. If this doesn't work, make sure your program and SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe run at the same UAC level.
