IB Controller uses Java specific classes from AWT. In C# no analogue for Java applications. Actually window messages should to work (and doesn't matter what the technology uses as a background) and window handles should to exist.
Window of IB Gateway doesn't have Children handles I written about it at the first post You can check out it use SPY++ in Visial Studio.
I've been a software engineer for the last 20 years, so I know the difference. I'll try one more time: automation of the TWS/IBGateway login has already been implemented in IB Controller. If you want your own implementation, nothing stops you from coding it yourself.
Figure out how to start IB Gateway from command line promt: eg: java -cp jts.jar:total.2013.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmx512M ibgateway.GWClient . The exact command will depend on which version of the Gateway you are using. Then supply this exact same command to c# createProcess call (or what ever this method is called in c#) You can switch the java main class to one that will do an auto login for you eg the IBController entry point.
nonlinear5, IB Controller this is Java I coding on C# and I can't use technology the IB Controller even if I will be coding it self. Which analog of technology the IB Controller I can use in C#? If do you know pls tell me!
yeap, I found a sample code there IB started via cmd.exe without windows. That's not what I wanted but ...
I thought that there is a C# library where can simulate some action user ... "click", "past", "tab" or "enter". Where is the window we know location coordinates of the window not changing.
IBController is a wrapper to launch and log in to IB Gateway. Even if it is in Java it can be spawned like an .exe and therefore can be invoked through a Process via C#. So simply use your C# tool to execute the command line needed to launch IBController. (It's possible to launch Java applications via C# since its nothing more than a java process). You can then use Visual Studio's Automation library to navigate the pop-up panel (you'll be able to find the window, not sure about the individual controls, but blind tabbing will work). https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms747327(v=vs.110).aspx Note, this will not work (I think?) if you have two factor authentication. Haven't seen anything in IBController that can handle that.... which I suppose is good from a security point of view
As I understand IB Controller, the Gataway was implemented via Swing. Swing has handles, like a WPF, but it is dynamic. Not sure Spy++ can track it. Anyway - use SendInput. It should to work.
