FindWindowEx

HWND window = ::FindWindow(NULL,"Internet connect");
while(window == NULL)
{
window = ::FindWindow(NULL,"Internet connect");
}

HWND general = ::FindWindowEx(window,0,"General",NULL);

I retrieve always general as NULL. I'm using the internet connection
window with winXP where there are two tabs, general and details. How is
possible to retrieve the correct handle to general window?

A tab is not a window, it is part of a tab control. You probably want a
child dialog of the tab control, or perhaps a sibling of the tab
control. You should investigate the exact structure of this composite
set of windows using the Spy++ tool that comes with VC.

Why do you need this for? Are you planning to operate
windows controls from outside? Clumsy setup?

Instead of attempting to automate the Internet connection dialog, why
not just call RasDial and RasHangup directly?
