I am working on an app that currently interacts with a third party app using a combination of methods to export data.
My current setup is reliant on mouse and keyboard input which is going to become a problem if running my app on a server that will lock the screen.
I am looking in to possible workarounds to get the data exported without relying on mouse and keyboard input so that it can run on a locked server.
I've done some reading and understand that the menu strip is likely a child of the desktop window once opened.
The issue I am having is how I go about clicking the menustrip edit button and then it's child menuitem.
In Spy++ if I search the menustrip it gives out the class and caption for the window directly. It doesn't show the menustrip or it's top level buttons as their own entities and as such I cannot get any control ID's.
Does anyone have any pointers they can share?
