Find the second HWND of two identical elements

[guitarist809]

Hey,

I've uploaded a screenshot of what Spy++ is telling me. I'm trying to find the HWND of the element highlighted, however the first dialog is taking precedence over the second (obviously). How can I find the HWND of the element in the second dialog class:RichEdit20W, rather than the first RichEdit20W in the first dialog?

This is my code so far:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main ( int argc, char * argv )
{
	HWND chatwindow;
	HWND dialog;
	HWND richedit;

	chatwindow = FindWindowA ( "ChatSkinWnd", 0 );
	dialog = FindWindowExA ( chatwindow, 0, "#32770", 0 );
	richedit = FindWindowExA ( dialog, 0, "RichEdit20W", 0 );

	return 0;
}

However, it's unfortunately returning the HWND of the first RichEdit20W, rather than the second one


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt N

Find the edits ID number, it should be constant in every instance of the app.
