One possible way I'm thinking of is enumerating all controls on the form using GetNextWindow and checking control's class using GetClassName function.

I would use EnumChildWindows and check for the ctrlID for each Child Window using GetDlgCtrlID. The Ctrl ID will be unique and won't change.

GetDlgCtrlID returns int, how would you check for class name?

Why would you think to use GetNextWindow as opposed to EnumChildWindows?

Yes, I'm trying to locate a specific control but I won't know its id in advance, I'll only know its class name.

I just forgot about EnumChildWindows. Should I prefer it to GetNextWindow? Is there any significant difference between them?
