How to get Snipping Tool combobox item names?

[steff]

Dear  Autoit  enthusiasts

for security reasons, I want to disable the use of Snipping tool to send images in attachment.

I'm able to trigger a function when the user clicks on the mail button in the toolbar.

I need to do the same when a user clicks on the Mail combobox (please, see attached image).

I run Autoit Window Info but it reports nothing about the combobox.

I report here the summary output of WIndow Info:

expandcollapse popup

I also used Winspy++ but it gave the same output.

Just to show you how I trigger functions when Toolbar buttons are pressed, here are some pieces of code (apologize for the lack of elegance):

expandcollapse popup

;
; trying to manage the various flavours of SNippingTool classes
;
Global $SnippingTool1= "[CLASS:Microsoft-Windows-Tablet-SnipperEditor]" ; windows 7
Global $SnippingTool2= "[CLASS:Microsoft-Windows-SnipperToolbar]"       ; windows 7
Global $SnippingTool3= "[CLASS:Microsoft-Windows-SnipperEditor]"        ; windows 10

if (WinActive ( $SnippingTool1  ) OR  WinActive ( $SnippingTool2  ) OR  WinActive ( $SnippingTool3 )) Then

            if WinActive ( $SnippingTool1  ) Then $SnipActive=$SnippingTool1
            if WinActive ( $SnippingTool2  ) Then $SnipActive=$SnippingTool2
            if WinActive ( $SnippingTool3  ) Then $SnipActive=$SnippingTool3

            $hWndTarget = WinGetHandle($SnipActive)

            $hdlToolBar  = ControlGetHandle($SnipActive, "", "[CLASS:ToolbarWindow32; INSTANCE:1]")

            While WinActive( $SnipActive  )
               $button=""

               if $safeFlag=0 Then

                  while $button = ""
                        ;copy button pressed
                        if BitAND(_GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonState($hdlToolBar, "40017"), $TBSTATE_PRESSED)  Then
                           $button="Copy"
                           ExitLoop
                        EndIf
                        
                        ;mail button pressed
                        if BitAND(_GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonState($hdlToolBar, "40014"), $TBSTATE_PRESSED) Then
                           $button="Mail"
                           ExitLoop
                        EndIf

                        ;save button pressed
                        if BitAND(_GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonState($hdlToolBar, "40012"), $TBSTATE_PRESSED) Then
                           $button="Save"
                           ExitLoop
                        EndIf

                  Wend

                  If $button <> "" Then
                  ; do something

By the way, until some months ago, I used to hook to the toolbar with the old hook.dll.

From October last year, the hooking stopped working, (on WIndows 7) maybe for some Windows update or some antimalware new settings. So i switched to this new approach.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but as soon as you use the snipping tool to get an image of the screen, it's placed into the clipboard. Disabling the email button doesn't do anything, as a person can just open email themselves and paste the image into an email. All you're doing is making it a tiny bit more cumbersome to do the same thing.

Thanks BrewManNH for your reply.

I didn't know that.

Better use another approach, then.

just delete the clipboard contents?
