I have an application with several buttons that all show up in Window Info as one and the same button.
These 'child' buttons look like a comboSelectionBox, an editBox and a button.

Then there are several other buttons and edit boxes.

Dunno how I figured it out, maybe a code remainder after a version update or I noticed the first detectable button/editBox/.. is an instance 2 !

No idea why I can click button1/Edit1/... that isn't detected by Window Info.
Some sort of overLay going on ?
But if it is overLayed, then why can I click these individual child buttons !?

Can I assume that if the first detected button is an instance 2 an instance 1 must always exist ?
Any idea's how to detect secret 'child' buttons, that are not detected by window Info ?

Try using spy++ or spy++ control detection logic from wininfo options.

spy++ control detection logic was enabled during detection, it is enabled by default.

Can I assume that if the first detected button is an instance 2 an instance 1 must always exist ?
If so, a develloper might decide to make hidden buttons last so they would have the higher instance,
and noone would notice unless they tested explicitly.

I've learnt not to assume anything in the world of coding.

But if you think so, I suppose you better make the worlds software developers
aware of your thoughts.
