Welcome to TT pratibha14. To get the most from these fora please read FAQ222-2244.

Now to answer your question you then need to use EnumChildWindows to find the what you are looking for.

Good Luck

All the controls have handles that you can find with EnumChildWindows.

thanks but u don't get my question.

i arbitarily takes a process running on localhost and then finds the associated window and also its child-window.

now what i need is control. i get all the handles that are there in the window but when i try to get control from those handle through FromHandle() method, it shows the error. i want to know all the controls used, their name etc. i tried GetNextDlgGroupItem() and GetDlgCtrlID() method.
I get all the control with their property of only the process (project.exe) in which i have written the code. but can't get them for all process.
