Getting control handle from ID ?

[Werty]

I have a feeling that I'm supposed to be embarrased asking this, but how do I get the ControlHandle from ID instead of INSTANCE ?

This works...

$anger = ControlGetHandle("FaceIt", "", "[CLASS:msctls_trackbar32; INSTANCE:3]")

..but gives me the wrong handle as there are several (many) msctls_trackbars that have INSTANCE:3 (located on different tabs) but they all have different ID: so I need to use the ID: instead but dunno how

This does NOT work, gives me an empty string...

$anger = ControlGetHandle("FaceIt", "", "[CLASS:msctls_trackbar32; ID:1750]")

All the msctls_trackbars are located inside a SysTabControl32.

Thanks in advance

Well, I'm not embarrased anyway since there has been no replies

I think that is imposible that the same window have the same control with the same class with the same instance.. try to mach the correct window, because that context is imposible.

Anyway if you get the wrong handle then you will get the wrong ID too

They are located inside a SysTabControl32, which have 7 tabs, all tabs contains numerous trackbars (sliders), so it's like, on tab 1 there is a trackbar as INSTANCE:3, tab 2 also have a trackbar as INSTANCE:3, so there are like 7 different trackbars as INSTANCE:3, but located on different tabs.

How do I access the different trackbars on say tab 7 ?

That's where I'm stuck.

I'll post some screenies from AU3Info and ControlViewer later.

maby your problem is activating tab before you take id or instance?

this is based on sound options on XP located in control panel

Ofc sound options dont have 7 tabs, they have 5

#include <GuiTab.au3>
$anger = ControlGetHandle("Sounds", "", "[CLASS:SysTabControl32]")
If @error Then MsgBox(0,"ERROR",@error)
_GUICtrlTab_SetCurFocus($anger, 6) ;6 = to activate tab number 7, starting enum tab position is 0

try activating tab before takeing handle

Edit: eather way in sound options takeing handle from ID: works 4 me, active tab or not, it dont make diffrance, but maby if you post link to the program that your using and if someone have time he can look directly in the problem.

As for instance using to get handle result is diffrent with activating another tab holding identical CLASS: and INSTANCE:

so activating tab will maby help you

Thanks, that did it, partially, I had been messing around with _SetCurSel() and couldnt get it working, but _SetCurFocus() works fine, and I get the handle I need.

Now the problem is that it doesnt update the 3D view it is controlling, as if it expects a mouse release of some sort.

When dragging the original slider in the program (FaceGen Modeller) it updates a 3D OpenGL viewport live, the model changes as the slider is moved.

That doesnt happen when I update the slider with _GuiCtrlSlider_SetPos(), and GUICtrlSetData doesnt seem to work.

[bogQ]

can you post picture with specific tab and slider marked in paint that you have problems with?

Not much to circle in paint, it's all these sliders, as mentioned when dragged they update the 3D view live, but when I change their value using _GUICtrlSlider_SetPos() the 3D view doesnt update. (edit: the sliders move to the position I tell them to, but the 3D view doesnt update)

The info tool cant read them, but Yashied's ControlViewer can.

my script is a bunch of mess right now, I'll post a cleaned up example later.

Its dumb solution but its working

[autoit]_GUICtrlSlider_SetPos($anger, 20)

ControlSend("","",$anger,"{UP}")[/autoit]

no not working gota think another way

Edit: Btw i totaly missed that info tool in exaqmpel scripts, ty for link man lol

lol, works for me so far atleast

I have the render window set as child for my Gui, grabbed it with _WinAPI_SetParent().

and yeah, CV.exe is cool.

$anger = ControlGetHandle("FaceGen", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]")
If @error Then MsgBox(0,"ERROR",@error)
ControlSetText("","",$anger,"0.5")
ControlSend("","",$anger,"{ENTER}")

ok heare is working one, instead of slider we will attack edit box and it will work 100%

...but that say's DING DING DING all the time, atleast for me

[bogQ]

well there isnt any other flexible solution for it, that is one crazy slider

but you can try it like this to see if itl work

if its working it shud not reproduce ding or dong

#include <GuiTab.au3>
#Include <GuiSlider.au3>
$anger = ControlGetHandle("FaceGen", "", "[CLASS:msctls_trackbar32; INSTANCE:3]")
_Slider_SetPos($anger,12); ,12) = in %

Func _Slider_SetPos($Hwnd,$pos)
    _GUICtrlSlider_SetPos($Hwnd, $pos)
    Local $a = ControlGetPos("","",$Hwnd)
    $a[2] = ((($a[2] - 14)/100)*$pos)+7
    ControlClick("","",$Hwnd,"",1,$a[2],10)
EndFunc

No problem as your example above works just fine for my need

Thanks for downloading the program to test, much appreciated
