HI,
yes i want to do it in absolute way. Actually I need to start capture and 
all from my interface which will run wireshark in background and from the 
same interface i will give command to save file in XML format, but GUI 
will not come into the picture.

Philip could you please elaborate more on hWnd thing which u have told me

Re: [Wireshark-dev] [Spam]  to start capturing externally






If you simply need to capture to a file for later analysis, you could 
simply invoke tshark or dumpcap with the appropriate command-line options 
to start capturing, and either use the appropriate options to stop 
capturing after a certain time/amount, or simply kill the process (I would 
imagine SIGINTR would work on *nix, not sure how to semi-cleanly terminate 
under Win32; TerminateProcess would work, though pending writes might not 
flush correctly...)

If you absolutely need to start/stop the GUI Wireshark, you might simply 
locate the appropriate hWnd and post messages to it to simulate the 
necessary keystrokes/clicks. (This assumes you’re running Windows; if 
you’re on *nix of some sort, I presume X11 provides equivalent facilities, 
though I have no idea what they are or how to use them.)

Hi,

commands like start capturing and stop capturing 
to the wireshark. 


can anyone please help me out in this as what all are the exported methods 
that i can call from my application 
to start and stop capturing from there. 

Thanks.
