finding labels by text

[superPuru 0]

Sorry, no code included, but would like to know if following is possible with AutoIt (couldn't find anything similiar from the forum -> meaning there is propably something fundamentally wrong with my idea )

- if I have multiple controls (in this case labels) in my GUI, is it possible to loop through them and depending on the value of "text" field do something, e.g. change its background? I would like to avoid hardcoding all the handles of the controls, because there will be too many of them in my GUI, 100+...

thanks in advance,

Puru

You can store all handles in an array. So you can work with them in an loop.

..the value of "text" field..

ControlGetText

ControlGetText

What sense make that by own controls? Storing ID + Ctrl-text in an array and all is fine.

Btw: You can get text from labels with GuiCtrlRead().

Oh yeah, I misread. Of course GUICtrlRead to get the 'value'. I have recently used ControlGetText to determine the 'state' of a control, so it's still stuck in my mind..
