Getting win info from ID

[Witmarquzot]

Is there a way to get window position using the window ID, such as

WinGetPos([iD:1383830])

AutoIt is designed to work perfectly with windows and controls. So no need to get the window position if you want to automate an application.

Can you please describe what you want to do? Maybe there is a better way to do what you want.

Seems like the ID would be associated with a control...not a window. I suppose you can get all windows, and then loop through them to see which one has that control id (could be several, could be none), and then get the position of the window, conditionally

Try this, else tell us what you need

$iControl = 1383830
$aWin = WinList ()
For $i = 1 to UBound($aWin)-1
 If StringLen($aWin[$i][0])>0 Then
  $hControl = ControlGetHandle($aWin[$i][1], "", $iControl)
  If IsHWnd($hControl) Then
   $array = WinGetPos($aWin[$i][1])
   _ArrayDisplay($array)
  EndIf
 EndIf
Next

Setting up a smoke test for an application written in .net

As so the classes are as so [WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.29e8405]

and the children windows are not set up to be activated

so I need to be able to move the mouse in position based on the window location on the screen. I can not get it to always grable the handle of the window I am interested in. There is a very good chance that I am at the end of my good thinking wits and way over thinking this and missing something simple.

So right now it keeps grabbing the position/handle of the main window, but I need the postion of the control window. Instance changes and for some reason

WinGetPos("[NAME:DataGridView1]") does not work.

Maybe this?

#include <array.au3>
$i = WinGetPos("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.29e8405]", "")
_ArrayDisplay($i)

WindowsForms applications are hard to automate.

Never done it myself but IIRC there are a lot of threads about this subject on the forum. Search for "windows forms" and you will get a lot of hits.
