Moderators Solution Melba23 Posted July 4, 2014 Moderators Solution Share Posted July 4, 2014 mLipok,Answers:- 1. Use GUICtrlGetHandle and you will get the correct handles returned. If you are dealing with AutoIt controlIDs it is always better to use the GUICtrl* functions if available: Local $idContextmenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu() ConsoleWrite("Context menu ID: " & $idContextmenu & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite("...handle: " & GUICtrlGetHandle($idContextmenu) & @CRLF) Local $idNewsubmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("new", $idContextmenu) Local $idNewsubmenuText = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("text", $idNewsubmenu) Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 100, 100, 70, 20) Local $idButtoncontext = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($idButton) Local $idMenuAbout = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("About button", $idButtoncontext) ConsoleWrite("Button menu ID: " & $idButtoncontext & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite("...handle: " & GUICtrlGetHandle($idButtoncontext) & @CRLF)- 2. As you have set $iObject to 2, you are asking for the details of the GUI System menu (the one you open by right-clicking the icon at top left). If you look at the GUI coordinates you can see that this is indeed the case as the menu coordinates (shown in the array) are close to the actual GUI coordinates in the console: $aPos = WinGetPos($hGui) ConsoleWrite("GUI cords: " & $aPos[0] & " - " & $aPos[1] & @CRLF) Local $aMenuInfo = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenuBarInfo($hGui, 0, 2) _ArrayDisplay($aMenuInfo, '$aMenuInfo')M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted July 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 4, 2014 mLipok,It seems only menu items will not return handles via ControlgetHandle - the button is quite happy:Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 100, 100, 70, 20) ConsoleWrite("Button ID: " & $idButton & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite("...handle: " & GUICtrlGetHandle($idButton) & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite("...direct: " & ControlGetHandle($hGUI, "", $idButton) & @CRLF)I imagine it might well be to do with the fact that the menus are not displayed immediately and so are not associated with the GUI until they are. Perhaps someone else with a deeper knowledge could expand/explain. Until there is a definite answer I will not change the help file as you requested - although I will look at finding a place to add the "Use GUICtrl* functions on native controls" advice.
