Hi

With WinExists I can see if a window exists, can I do something similar for a Control?

Lets say ControlExists. I would like to know if the Control exists before wasting time on sending keystrokes to it,

Thanks alot for your time

You can use ControlGetHandle ( "windowtitle", "text", controlID ) function to see if the control exists.

The function will return :

Success: Returns the handle (HWND) value.

Failure: Returns "" (blank string) and sets @error to 1 if no window matches the criteria.

By the way this is from the AutoIt help file @: Function Reference > Window Management > Controls > ControlGetHandle
