Hi, new user, currently evaluating the product.

I am trying to use the Windows API method AccessibleObjectFromWindow to retrieve the XTPToolBar "handle" from an application.

I found a related forum post here, that was unfortunately never brought to closure: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12815

The general method is as such, using Microsoft word as an example:

Word::Window* pWindow = NULL;
HRESULT hr = AccessibleObjectFromWindow(hwnd, OBJID_NATIVEOM, __uuidof(Word::Window), (void**)&pWindow);

To use this effectively, you need to know the correct object declaration, in this case, "Word::Window". I understand that Codejock provides access to the objects via this Windows API, however I can not find documentation for which object to use here.

I assume it is something like "CXTPToolBar::xyz". Does anyone know what xyz needs to be here? Maybe point me to the correct documentation? Even better, anyone have a code fragment they would be so kind to share?

You use MFC version ? Then why you just can't take pToolBar->m_hWnd ?

Hi Oleg, thanks for responding. The question is the same as in the other thread I linked to. Reading back, I guess I forgot to mention that

, sorry. The objective is to get the menu handle from another application that uses your toolkit.

In that other thread, you said: "You have call AccessibleObjectFromWindow for Menu window - see it in Spy++ - its window with XTPToolBar class." Spy++ does indeed show the class of the menu I am targeting is "XTPToolBar". However, in that other thread, the parameters for the call to AccessibleObjectFromWindow were not detailed, and in fact, I can not locate those details in the documentation.

Thanks.

No way to do this then, I guess?

Bummer.
