You should be sending a BN_CLICKED notification to the dialog window itself
instead of simulating a button press.  For example:

    BOOL __stdcall EnumProc(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam)
    {
        char caption[32] = [0];
        SendMessage( hWnd, WM_GETTEXT, 32, (LPARAM)caption);

        if( StrLComp(caption, "Microsoft Office Outlook", 32) == 0 )
        {
            HWND hBtn = GetDlgItem( hWnd, IDYES );
            if( hBtn )
            {
                SendMessage( hwnd, WM_COMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(IDYES,
BN_CLICKED), (LPARAM)hBtn );
                return FALSE;
            }
        }

        return TRUE;
    }

    void __fastcall TfMain::RptTimer(TObject *Sender)
    {
        EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC)EnumProc, NULL);
    }
