Get visible control by ID (mutliple matching controls)

[jdelaney]

My software I'm attempting to automate includes a Button that can be present any number of times, but only one will be visible at a time.

I was hoping something like this would work

$hApplication = "MyApplication"
$giWebWorkList_ButtonAddToWorklist = 4642 ; The ID of the controls
$iLoop = 1
While True
 $hAddToWorklist = ControlGetHandle($hApplication, "", "[CLASSNN:Button" & $iLoop & "; ID:" & $giWebWorkList_ButtonAddToWorklist & "]")
 If Not IsHWnd($hAddToWorklist) Then
  ConsoleWrite ( "exit, Failure, on loop=[" & $iLoop & "]" & @CRLF )
  ExitLoop
 Else
  ConsoleWrite ( $iLoop & " " & $hAddToWorklist & @CRLF )
 EndIf
 $bFound1 = ControlCommand($hApplication, "", $hAddToWorklist, "IsVisible", "")
 $bFound2 = ControlCommand($hApplication, "", $hAddToWorklist, "IsEnabled", "")
 If $bFound1 And $bFound2 Then
  ConsoleWrite ( "Found visible instance of buttonid=[]; where IsVisible=[" & $bFound1 & "] and IsEnabled=[" & $bFound2 & "] on Instance=[" & $iLoop & "]; Handle=[" & $hAddToWorklist & "]; id being searched=[" & $hAddToWorklist & "]." & @crlf )
  ExitLoop
 EndIf
 $iLoop += 1
WEnd

But in the ControlGetHandle function, BOTH the CLASSNN and ID are not conisidered, only the CLASSNN...so the first visible,enabled, button is returned, regardless of the ID NOT being the one I'm searching for.

I also attempted using the ID, and Instance:

$hAddToWorklist = ControlGetHandle($hApplication, "", "[ID:" & $giWebWorkList_ButtonAddToWorklist & "; INSTANCE:" & $iLoop & "]")

But the instance param is not considered, it only returns the first applicable control matching the ID

Please let me know of a workaround...or, is there a way to take a handle, and return it's control's ID? If so, that would solve my problem...thanks!

Found a workaround...all the buttons share the same position, so I'm looping through all buttons until I find the visible one with the proper posistion...would still much rather be able to get the control ID from the handle...(if the autoit windo winfo tool can do it, why can't I )

bump: does anyone know how to get a control ID from a handle?

F1

#include <WinAPI.au3>

_Main()

Func _Main()
Local $button
GUICreate("test")
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("testing", 0, 0)
MsgBox(4096, "ID", "Dialog Control ID: " & _WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID(GUICtrlGetHandle($button)))
EndFunc

This is what u mean?

Perfect! Thanks. (need to look through all those winapi funcs more carefully.
