Using JNA, my ultimate goal is to read a message that was sent using Windows NET SEND or MSG.EXE, which appears as a Windows pop-up message window on the receiving machine.
I am already able to search for this specific message window and get the hWnd handle using the code below. My problem now is how to I iterate through all the elements of this window to find the actual message text, read the message, and also click the OK button?
My research tells me I need to use FindWindowEx (to go through the elements) and PostMessage (to click the OK button) but I am struggling to make it work.
package democode;
import com.sun.jna.Pointer;
import com.sun.jna.Native;
import com.sun.jna.win32.StdCallLibrary;
public class JNA_Main {
// Equivalent JNA mappings
public interface User32 extends StdCallLibrary {
User32 INSTANCE = (User32) Native.loadLibrary("user32", User32.class);
interface WNDENUMPROC extends StdCallCallback {
boolean callback(Pointer hWnd, Pointer arg);
}
boolean EnumWindows(WNDENUMPROC lpEnumFunc, Pointer arg);
boolean PostMessage(Pointer hwndParent, String msg, String wParam, String lParam);
Pointer FindWindowEx(Pointer hwndParent, String hwndChildAfter, String lpszClass, String lpszWindow);
int GetWindowTextA(Pointer hWnd, byte[] lpString, int nMaxCount);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
final User32 user32 = User32.INSTANCE;
user32.EnumWindows(new User32.WNDENUMPROC() {
int count;
public boolean callback(Pointer hWnd, Pointer userData) {
byte[] windowText = new byte[512];
user32.GetWindowTextA(hWnd, windowText, 512);
String wText = Native.toString(windowText);
wText = (wText.isEmpty()) ? "" : "; text: " + wText;
if (wText.contains("My Window Name")){
System.out.println("Found window " + hWnd + ", total " + ++count + wText);
