Hi
Do you ever see simple programs that find real text value of an masked EditBox (for example by *) by pointing cursor on it?
This program have made me this question:
How we can find the handle of Window that we point it by cursor?
Is it possible?
sincerely yours

use the VC++ spy tool, which can be installed on its own, but there are plenty of such things..

Using the Win32 API: GetCursorPos/WindowFromPoint/ChildWindowFromPoint

Hmmm, probably thru input focus. You can trap systemwide messages, and see where they go. I don't think inactive windows get sent keyboard messages, and probably not mouse messages either (can't remember exactly).
