The above links discuss on how to use use the API’s to achieve what you want.

From the 1st link…

Like you and me, we both have names, similarly windows have “handles” (hWnd), Class etc. Once you know what that hWnd is, it is easier to interact with that window.

Findwindow API finds the hWnd of a particular window by using the class name and the caption of the window (“File Download”) in this case. The “Open“, “Save” and “Cancel” buttons are windows in itself but they are child windows of the main window which is “File Download“. That means each one of those will also have a hWnd 🙂 To find the child windows, we don’t use FindWindow but use FindWindowEx. All the three buttons “Open“, “Save” and “Cancel” have the same class which is “ Button”.
