I'm trying to use $WM_command to do some creative Auto_complete in a combobox, This works when i Force
$hWndCombo = GUICtrlGetHandle($input[$x][62])

where $input[$x][62] is the handle of the combo.

What I would like is to reuse this code, for multple combo boxes, I can get windows id of the other windows using GUIGetCursorInfo, but not any of the combo boxes, they are always returned as 0.

So How can get the ID of a the Combobox that my cursor is at?

hazed,

_WinAPI_GetFocus returns the control that currently has keyboard input - sounds like just the job.

consolewrite(_WinAPI_GetFocus()&@tab& GUICtrlGetHandle($input[$x][62])& @tab&$ilParam&@lf)
returns when I'm sitting on the control.

0x0012106E 0x00120ACE 0x00120ACE - which to me means that I ilParam = GUICtrlGetHandle($input[$x][62]) and not _WinAPI_GetFocus().

This isn't helping much. to put things into perpective. $input[$x][62] is the handle of the combo in tab($x) which tab is created only if needed and it's an exact duplicate of the previous Tab. (sort of like do you have more, here is page 2,3,4,5...etc)

I guess when I create the comboboxes, I can create an array which maps the what the GUICtrlGetHandle() of each comboboxes in each tab when I create the tab. And then do an arraysearch or something similar to find which combobox I'm dealing with and use different WM_edit_changed() based upon the index.

So
comboarray[$x][1] = GUICtrlGetHandle($input[$x][60])
comboarray[$x][2] = GUICtrlGetHandle($input[$x][62])
comboarray[$x][3] = GUICtrlGetHandle($input[$x][72]).

Since I know the $X,
for $i=1 to 3
if comboarray[$x][$i] = ilparam then exitloop
next

....
Switch $iCode
Case $CBN_CLOSEUP
Case $CBN_KILLFOCUS
WM_validate()
Case $CBN_EDITCHANGE
switch $i
case 1
WM_edit_changed_combo1()
case 2
WM_edit_changed_combo2()
case 3
WM_edit_changed_combo3()
endswitch
EndSwitch

or something like that.... wish I could find a better way.

hazed,

This code distinguishes between the 2 combos using their ControlIDs - why are you looking for handles?

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiComboBox.au3>

Dim $sString = "Hello|world|AutoIt|rules|and|more|some|data"

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$cCombo_1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 200, 20)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, $sString, "Hello")

$cCombo_2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 100, 200, 20)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, $sString, "Hello")

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND")

GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local $iIDFrom = BitAND($wParam, 0x0000FFFF)
    Local $iCode = BitShift($wParam, 16)

    Switch $iCode
        Case $CBN_EDITCHANGE
            Switch $iIDFrom
                Case $cCombo_1
                    _GUICtrlComboBox_AutoComplete($cCombo_1)
                Case $cCombo_2
                    _GUICtrlComboBox_AutoComplete($cCombo_2)
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch

    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>WM_COMMAND

If you are still having difficulty identifying your combos, please post some code which shows the problem - then we can get a better idea of what is happening.
