I'm trying to read the ToolTip text from the system tray for an application that is not my own. Basically just what I figure will be the easiest way to pull some status information.
What would be the easiest way to pull the ToolTip text using C#?
Let's start with finding systray window handle:
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr FindWindowEx(IntPtr hWndParent, IntPtr hWndChildAfter, string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
static IntPtr GetSystemTrayHandle()
{
IntPtr hWndTray = FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", null);
if (hWndTray != IntPtr.Zero)
{
hWndTray = FindWindowEx(hWndTray, IntPtr.Zero, "TrayNotifyWnd", null);
if (hWndTray != IntPtr.Zero)
{
hWndTray = FindWindowEx(hWndTray, IntPtr.Zero, "SysPager", null);
if (hWndTray != IntPtr.Zero)
{
hWndTray = FindWindowEx(hWndTray, IntPtr.Zero, "ToolbarWindow32", null);
return hWndTray;
}
}
}
return IntPtr.Zero;
}
Systray window is a toolbar class, you need to get information for a single icon:
private static unsafe bool GetTBButton(IntPtr hToolbar, int i, ref TBBUTTON tbButton, ref string text, ref IntPtr ipWindowHandle)
{
// One page
const int BUFFER_SIZE = 0x1000;
byte[] localBuffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
UInt32 processId = 0;
UInt32 threadId = User32.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hToolbar, out processId);
IntPtr hProcess = Kernel32.OpenProcess(ProcessRights.ALL_ACCESS, false, processId);
if (hProcess == IntPtr.Zero) { Debug.Assert(false); return false; }
IntPtr ipRemoteBuffer = Kernel32.VirtualAllocEx(
hProcess,
IntPtr.Zero,
new UIntPtr(BUFFER_SIZE),
MemAllocationType.COMMIT,
MemoryProtection.PAGE_READWRITE);
if (ipRemoteBuffer == IntPtr.Zero) { Debug.Assert(false); return false; }
// TBButton
fixed (TBBUTTON* pTBButton = &tbButton)
{
IntPtr ipTBButton = new IntPtr(pTBButton);
int b = (int)User32.SendMessage(hToolbar, TB.GETBUTTON, (IntPtr)i, ipRemoteBuffer);
if (b == 0) { Debug.Assert(false); return false; }
// this is fixed
Int32 dwBytesRead = 0;
IntPtr ipBytesRead = new IntPtr(&dwBytesRead);
bool b2 = Kernel32.ReadProcessMemory(
hProcess,
ipRemoteBuffer,
ipTBButton,
new UIntPtr((uint)sizeof(TBBUTTON)),
ipBytesRead);
if (!b2) { Debug.Assert(false); return false; }
}
// button text
fixed (byte* pLocalBuffer = localBuffer)
{
IntPtr ipLocalBuffer = new IntPtr(pLocalBuffer);
int chars = (int)User32.SendMessage(hToolbar, TB.GETBUTTONTEXTW, (IntPtr)tbButton.idCommand, ipRemoteBuffer);
if (chars == -1) { Debug.Assert(false); return false; }
// this is fixed
Int32 dwBytesRead = 0;
IntPtr ipBytesRead = new IntPtr(&dwBytesRead);
bool b4 = Kernel32.ReadProcessMemory(
hProcess,
ipRemoteBuffer,
ipLocalBuffer,
new UIntPtr(BUFFER_SIZE),
ipBytesRead);
if (!b4) { Debug.Assert(false); return false; }
text = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(ipLocalBuffer, chars);
if (text == " ") text = String.Empty;
}
Kernel32.VirtualFreeEx(
hProcess,
ipRemoteBuffer,
UIntPtr.Zero,
MemAllocationType.RELEASE);
Kernel32.CloseHandle(hProcess);
return true;
}
Now, all you have to do is iterate through buttons and get data:
IntPtr _ToolbarWindowHandle = GetSystemTrayHandle();
UInt32 count = User32.SendMessage(_ToolbarWindowHandle, TB.BUTTONCOUNT, 0, 0);
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
TBBUTTON tbButton = new TBBUTTON();
string text = String.Empty;
IntPtr ipWindowHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
bool b = GetTBButton(_ToolbarWindowHandle, i, ref tbButton, ref text, ref ipWindowHandle);
}
In case anyone comes across this thread and has the same need, I posted a thread asking how to properly implement the code example and received a lot of help, and a working solution here:

I use windows 7 and VS 2010.
In my C# Winform program. I want to get the value in a line edit of an external .exe file.
I have get all the handle , but failed passing the correct parameters to SendMessage so I could not get the value of TEDIT.

}
static IntPtr FindWindowByIndex(IntPtr hWndParent, int index)
{
if (index == 0)
return hWndParent;
else
{
int ct = 0;
IntPtr result = IntPtr.Zero;
do
{
result = FindWindowEx(hWndParent, result, "TEDIT", null);
if (result != IntPtr.Zero)
++ct;
}
while (ct < index && result != IntPtr.Zero);
return result;
}
}
Although the value in the TEDIT is 171B18. The LED_value is 0 after debugging.

We suddenly have problems with the smart card api on some windows installations.
There seem to be a memory leak while calling the SCardEstablishContext function.
The problem can be reproduced in a console application with the code sample available at
http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/winscard.scardestablishcontext
class Program
{
#region Win32
// WinSCard APIs to be imported.
[DllImport("WinScard.dll")]
static extern int SCardEstablishContext(uint dwScope,
IntPtr notUsed1,

uint dwShareMode,
uint dwPrefProtocol,
ref IntPtr phCard,
ref IntPtr ActiveProtocol);
[DllImport("WinScard.dll")]
static extern int SCardDisconnect(IntPtr hCard, int Disposition);
[DllImport("WinScard.dll", EntryPoint = "SCardListReadersA", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
static extern int SCardListReaders(
IntPtr hContext,
byte[] mszGroups,
byte[] mszReaders,
ref UInt32 pcchReaders);
#endregion
static void Main(string[] args)
{
while (true)
{
SmartCardInserted();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10);
}
}
internal static bool SmartCardInserted()
{
bool cardInserted = false;
IntPtr hContext = IntPtr.Zero;
try
{
List<string> readersList = new List<string>();
int ret = 0;
uint pcchReaders = 0;
int nullindex = -1;
char nullchar = (char)0;
// Establish context.
ret = SCardEstablishContext(2, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, out hContext);
// First call with 3rd parameter set to null gets readers buffer length.
ret = SCardListReaders(hContext, null, null, ref pcchReaders);
byte[] mszReaders = new byte[pcchReaders];
// Fill readers buffer with second call.
ret = SCardListReaders(hContext, null, mszReaders, ref pcchReaders);
// Populate List with readers.
ASCIIEncoding ascii = new ASCIIEncoding();
string currbuff = ascii.GetString(mszReaders);
int len = (int)pcchReaders;
if (len > 0)
{
while (currbuff[0] != nullchar)
{
nullindex = currbuff.IndexOf(nullchar); // Get null end character.
string reader = currbuff.Substring(0, nullindex);
readersList.Add(reader);
len = len - (reader.Length + 1);
currbuff = currbuff.Substring(nullindex + 1, len);
}
}
// We have list of readers, check for cards.
IntPtr phCard = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr ActiveProtocol = IntPtr.Zero;
int result = 0;
foreach (string readerName in readersList)
{
try
{
result = SCardConnect(hContext, readerName, 2, 3, ref phCard, ref ActiveProtocol);
if (result == 0)
{
cardInserted = true;
break;
}
}
finally
{
SCardDisconnect(phCard, 0);
}
}
}
finally
{
SCardReleaseContext(hContext);
}
return cardInserted;
}
}
To test, we call the method SmartCardInserted() in an infinite loop with a small delay => the memory grows constantly and new hadles are allocated.
We see this problem on systems runing Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012, but not on Windows Server 2008.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
The problem seems to have been released with v1709 of Windows 10. The shortest amount of code to reproduce the bug is
while(true) {
ret = SCardEstablishContext(2, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, out hContext);
SCardReleaseContext(hContext);
}
It leaks ~264 bytes of memory each time a context is established and released.
If you maintain hContext outside of the loop and only create a context if it's IntPtr.Zero you should be able to avoid the leak. Then when you call SCardListReaders, check to see if you get SCARD_E_INVALID_HANDLE back and invalidate your hContext.

It's a workaround until the Winscard.dll API is fixed.
i know how to work with Keystroke and i know how to send any keboard typing

how to do it ? my solution dont work
I am trying to convert a driver client from c to c#. I am able to make it work completely in c but as I am converting it in c# it is blocking the file to open the code for your reference is as follows:

We are trying to read the ToolTips from system tray icons and the code is working but is returning zero intermittently for the the method below calling Kernel32.VirtualAllocEx
IntPtr ipRemoteBuffer = Kernel32.VirtualAllocEx(
hProcess,
IntPtr.Zero,
new UIntPtr(BUFFER_SIZE),
MemAllocationType.COMMIT,
MemoryProtection.PAGE_READWRITE);
if (ipRemoteBuffer == IntPtr.Zero)
return String.Empty;
It seems to work absolutely fine then suddenly stops working and returns IntPtr.Zero consistently. When checking Marshal.GetLastWin32Error() it returns 8 (not enough memory). Below is the full code:
public static string GetTooltip(string search)
{
IntPtr _ToolbarWindowHandle = GetSystemTrayHandle();
UInt32 count = User32.SendMessage(_ToolbarWindowHandle, TB.BUTTONCOUNT, 0, 0);
List<string> tooltips = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
TBBUTTON tbButton = new TBBUTTON();
string text = String.Empty;
IntPtr ipWindowHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
text = GetTBButtonText(_ToolbarWindowHandle, i, ref tbButton, ref text, ref ipWindowHandle);
if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(text) && text.ToLowerInvariant().Contains(search.ToLowerInvariant()))
return text;
}
return String.Empty;
}
static unsafe string GetTBButtonText(IntPtr hToolbar, int i, ref TBBUTTON tbButton, ref string text, ref IntPtr ipWindowHandle)
{
const int BUFFER_SIZE = 0x1000;
byte[] localBuffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
UInt32 processId = 0;
UInt32 threadId = User32.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hToolbar, out processId);
IntPtr hProcess = Kernel32.OpenProcess(ProcessRights.ALL_ACCESS, false, processId);
if (hProcess == IntPtr.Zero)
return String.Empty;
IntPtr ipRemoteBuffer = Kernel32.VirtualAllocEx(
hProcess,
IntPtr.Zero,
new UIntPtr(BUFFER_SIZE),
MemAllocationType.COMMIT,
MemoryProtection.PAGE_READWRITE);
if (ipRemoteBuffer == IntPtr.Zero)
{
var error = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
return String.Empty;
}
// TBButton
fixed (TBBUTTON* pTBButton = &tbButton)
{
IntPtr ipTBButton = new IntPtr(pTBButton);
int b = (int)User32.SendMessage(hToolbar, TB.GETBUTTON, (IntPtr)i, ipRemoteBuffer);
if (b == 0)
return String.Empty;
// this is fixed
Int32 dwBytesRead = 0;
IntPtr ipBytesRead = new IntPtr(&dwBytesRead);
bool b2 = Kernel32.ReadProcessMemory(
hProcess,
ipRemoteBuffer,
ipTBButton,
new UIntPtr((uint)sizeof(TBBUTTON)),
ipBytesRead);
if (!b2)
return String.Empty;
}
// button text
fixed (byte* pLocalBuffer = localBuffer)
{
IntPtr ipLocalBuffer = new IntPtr(pLocalBuffer);
int chars = (int)User32.SendMessage(hToolbar, TB.GETBUTTONTEXTW, (IntPtr)tbButton.idCommand, ipRemoteBuffer);
if (chars == -1) { Debug.Assert(false); return ""; }
// this is fixed
Int32 dwBytesRead = 0;
IntPtr ipBytesRead = new IntPtr(&dwBytesRead);
bool b4 = Kernel32.ReadProcessMemory(
hProcess,
ipRemoteBuffer,
ipLocalBuffer,
new UIntPtr(BUFFER_SIZE),
ipBytesRead);
if (!b4)
return String.Empty;
text = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(ipLocalBuffer, chars);
return text;
}
}
OK if I make a call to release the memory like so the problem is solved.
const uint MEM_RELEASE = 0x8000;
UIntPtr uintPtr = UIntPtr.Zero;
var successfullyReleased = Kernel32.VirtualFreeEx(hProcess, ipRemoteBuffer, uintPtr, MEM_RELEASE);
if (!successfullyReleased)
{
}
