Question about ControlSend() and printing a variable

[mustin98]

Hi, I was wondering how do I know what the "controlID" is in the parameters of the ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "string" [, flag] ) function. Am I able to just use "Edit1" for most things?

Also, is there a way to print a varibale such as a string through the keystrokes? Like a Send($somevar).

Thanks

There is a AutoIt Window Info tool you can use to retrieve controlID from other gui windows.

Check it out you'll see what I mean, should be in Start / All Programs / AutoIt v3 / AutoIt Window Info.

Just run it and sample the control in question.

Also, is there a way to print a varibale such as a string through the keystrokes? Like a Send($somevar).

Yep just like you did it, Send($somevar).
