funkey Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hello, I tried to get the handle of the control with the focus from another window. I know I can do this with ControlGetFocus, but I just want to do it with the WinAPI. I can get the handle if I start the application with Run(), but if the application already exists I cannot get the handle. I googled a lot, but I didn't find the answer of the problem. Does anybody know how to do this? #include <WinAPI.au3> ;~ Run("notepad.exe") Global $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 5) If $hWnd = 0 Then Exit Global $curThreadID = _Winapi_GetCurrentThreadId(); Global $iPID Global $winThreadID = _Winapi_GetWindowThreadProcessId($hWnd, $iPID); ConsoleWrite("PID notepad.exe: " & $iPID & @LF) Global $success = _WinAPI_AttachThreadInput($curThreadID, $winThreadID, True); ConsoleWrite("Success: attaching: " & $success & @LF) Global $hCtrl = _Winapi_GetFocus(); $success = _WinAPI_AttachThreadInput($curThreadID, $winThreadID, False); ConsoleWrite("Success: detaching: " & $success & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Control handle with focus: " & $hCtrl & @LF) Programming today is a race between software engineers striving tobuild bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universetrying to produce bigger and better idiots.So far, the Universe is winning.
