Child of a Child of a Child of a Child... Controls

Question:

Well, I've got the ID number (1204) of a button that happens to be a child of a child of a child of a child of a child of a child of a child of the "3D Studio MAX" window. How do I use cPostButton() to press this button? The following code generates the error "Specified parent window doesn't exist":

	AddExtender("wwctl34I.dll")
	cMain = DllHwnd("3D Studio MAX")
	cPostButton(cWndByID(cMain,1204))

Is it necessary to somehow specify some reticulate tree of controller children?

Answer:

Note: I got it working with the following code:

AddExtender("wwctl34I.dll")
cMain = DllHwnd("3D Studio MAX")
cX = cWndByClass(cMain,"EditPanel")
cX = cWndByClass(cX,"SysTabControl32")
cX = cWndByClass(cX,"DisplayTask")
cX = cWndByClass(cX,"RollupWindow")
cX = cWndByClass(cX,"GRAY")
cX = cWndByClass(cX,"RollupPanel")
cX = cWndInfo(cX,6)
cX = cWndInfo(cX,6)
cX = cWndByClass(cX,"#32770")
cX = cWndByID(cX,1204)
cPostButton(cX)
