Very Nice

But I notice that [msctls_statusbar321] get text only from first element.

Cheers.

Correct.  I could do class specific outputs (_GUICtrlStatusBar*).

I never specifically needed it, so it was never done.  It's just a basic debugger.

Great job jdelaney !

I made a similar script (without any filter), posted in the french forum : http://www.autoitscript.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?p=74100#p74100

Have a look to it : I used the RegExp method to avoid the use of Array.au3

Hello,

I have an application that has dynamic window controlID's, so that each time I close and reopen the application the controlID has changed and my AutoIT script no longer works.

Is there a way to write a script that can find out what the controlID is and then have it run into the already existing script automatically?

 
Run('C:Program FilesmyCompanymyApplicationFoldertheApplication.exe')
 
_WinWaitActivate("Window ","text ")
 
WinActivate("Window ","text ")
 
ControlTreeView("Window ", "", 459938, "Expand")
Sleep(1500)
 
ControlTreeView("Window ", "", 459938, "Collapse")
Sleep(1500)

Yep, that happens, the code wasn't meant to be ran, just to point out the obvious.

Edit:

I fixed it, it was just a line feed issue.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

@jreedmx : did you try jdelaney's code with your app ? What is the result ?

Thanks for your response @jquinch

When I run jdelaney's code I get the following data for the current dynamic controlID (which in this instance is 9306824):

Func=[GetAllWindowsControls]: ControlCounter=[ 18] ControlID=[9306824] Handle=[0x008E02C8] ClassNN=[WindowsForms10.SysTreeView32.app.0.fcf9a41] XPos=[-9990] YPos=[-9938] Width=[ 469] Height=[ 202] IsVisible=[0] Text=[].

Does you GUI contains other SysTreeView32 controls ?

(I don't know if we are allowed to continue this discussion in this topic, maybe you shoud open a new one in the General help section...)

Recently I was in need to use this function.
I had to change it a little, it may be useful to someone.

Little refactored function:

    ClipPut($sControlText)

Hi jdelaney,

I am new to AutoIT and unable to figure out how to set a radio button checked, which is within a Groupbox. The AutoIt v3 Window Info tool doesn't provide information within a Groupbox. Hence, I am trying to use your code as is to compile and generate an exe out of it. When I copied your code and why a syntax error is thrown when I try to use your code as is. It reports an error as shown below

(10, 1)  : error: syntax error (illegal character)

Am I missing something? Could you please help me?
