Thread: MFC :: Finding Child Window of a CWnd* Object?

Okay, I am making a small application that retrieves the conversation text from the AOL Instant Messenger application. I type in the user's screen name of the window to monitor, and that works alright. Now, I need to get a CWnd* object to the RichEdit child window. It is finding the parent IM window as it should. Also, the class name of the child window is Ate32Class, which I got from the Spy++ MSVC++ tool. When I do this:

Code:

		m_pChild = m_pWnd->FindWindow("Ate32Class", NULL);     // Find child window
		if (! m_pChild)      // Error finding text window?
		{
			AfxMessageBox("Error finding conversation text window!\n");   // Display error message
			return;     // Exit function
		}

It shows me the error message. It isn't finding the child window of parent 'm_pWnd'. If you can give me any help, please do.

Thanks,
Matt U.

I found it out. I just had to do this:

Code:

		m_pChild = m_pWnd->GetNextDlgGroupItem(m_pWnd);
		m_pChild = m_pChild->GetNextDlgGroupItem(m_pWnd);
