IB Gateway + SPY++

Guys, who know how can run IB Gateway using SPY++ (C#) typing a Login and a Password?

I ran "IB Gateway", I can see the windows: "IB Gateway" , but at the SPY++ I can't see elements, no buttons, no inputs, nothing!

Code:

Windows IB Gateway IntPtr = 14090A

Children handles are:
================
currChild == IntPtr.Zero
================

ID button = 0

How right run "IB Gateway" using SPY++ or may be is other approach?

 

Are you attempting to reverse-engineer IB Gateway? Why? There may be a much simple solution for what you are trying to do, but it's not clear to me what the end goal is here.

 

No I try make kind of "Autostart IB Gateway", that would application can run the IB Gateway and enter "User Name" and "Password" and click on the button "Login"

 

There are already free apps for this, such as IB Controller:
https://github.com/ib-controller/ib-controller

 

TWS and Gateway are written in java, the UI is java swing, which is drawing the buttons and inputs.

 

I saw it but me need on the C#

Southall, how use it on c#. SPY++ doesn't understand the UI?

 

IB Controller runs as a binary. How does it matter if it's written in Java or C#?

 

Java is already on your machine to run the Gateway so you should have no problems starting IBController.

 

One question: How make the autostart IB Gateway using C# (with or without SPY++)?

 

We are going in circles now. IB Controller is open source. If you want your own C# version of IB Controller, feel free to code it yourself.
