Enumerating Controls ...

[sandyd]

Hi Peeps,

I've tried searching for but can't find anything useful.

What commands should I be looking at to enumerate all the controls on a child window.

I would like to be able to save their info (x,y,width,height,styles etc) to a text file, then be able to load them from that file at a later date.

Any help appreciated

ControlGetPos

unless i misunderstood

[sandyd]

That helps a bit, but I still need to be able to specify the window and get back a list of ALL controls on it, preferably with all their properties.

Thanks for the info though

You might want to loop and go through all the controls on a gui until you have an error for example:

Dim $n
AutoItWinSetTitle ( "la huskalamoo" )
WinShow ( "la huskalamoo", '', @SW_SHOW )
While 1
   $n = $n + 1
   If ControlGetHandle ( "la huskalamoo", "", $n ) = "" Then ExitLoop
WEnd
MsgBox ( 0, 'Control Count', 'There are ' & $n & ' controls.' )

edit: this doesn't work im trying to make it work another way right now

Maybe helps you, this useful script (SpyThing)...(by CyberSlug)

Advice: Perhaps, that script needs some lightly update in the GUI syntax.

Back again ...

I have used

$ControlList = StringSplit(WinGetClassList("Form",""),@LF)

to get a list of the controls on a form, but it only returns button,button etc. Any way to get it to come back with the button name? e.g. Button1, Button2 etc?
