Getting resource ids,menu,buttons etc from an EXE
Hi all,
Is there any way to get the resource ids and information on menu,submenu in a GUI application from its EXE file?
I have used enumresourcenames but its not that helpful.
I am developing a testing tool for GUI applications that requires information about all the resources
in the application its going to test from its exe file.Please help me out.

EnumResourceNames
EnumResourceTypes
....
Also searching the MSDN for these functions could be useful...
PS:
See the sample in "Creating a Resource List" article in MSDN

I have used enumresourcenames but its not that helpful.You probably mean EnumResourceNames... What's wrong with that? It's exactly the function for the task you're describing - why did you find it "not that helpful"?

After that, you have a normal HMENU, in the menu example, and you can use the menu related API functions to iterate through submenus and items.
