Description:
It's very easy to automate console mode tools. We do this by generally writing wrapper scripts over them in scripting languages such as Perl and Python. But what about GUI mode programs? How can we automate them? This video created by
Spiffomatic64 aims to demystify the programming aspects of automating actions in GUI based programs. The basic principle behind the technique he describes is to find the handles of the UI components you want to interact with and then by sending them event notifications, you are able to make them perform the requisite actions. Spiffomatic64 uses windows as his platform to take you through the entire programming exercise.

Ok so Spiffomatic64's site has a pretty strange layout but pretty much you can find the code for this tutorial here : http://spiffomatic64.com/apps/codez/examples/dialafix.cpp
and tons of other cool source files

He also has another site which has cool tutorials on reverse engineering for beginners like me:

He seems like a pretty damn smart guy, I appreciate all the work he put into these tutorials, and I appreciate also SecurityTube and Vivek for all the great tutorials he has done. This site is an awesome resource. Thanks a lot Vivek and keep them coming!
