Angel Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hi, I am trying to get a handle to the main Google Desktop floating window. However it has no window name and no text in it. It has a classname, but it is different depending on which computer you are! That is, in every computer where the GoogleDesktop is installed, the classname of the floating search window is different! The only information that seems to always be the same is that the floating window contains an edit box called _GD_QueryEdit_1 (or something like that, I don't remenber right now). So I tried to search select the edit box by putting an empty window name and text on the Control functions, but this does not work. I also tried a similar trick with WinGetHandle, but it does not work either. I also tried to use a "partial" classname (because the classnames of the floating window always start with "ATT:" but it cannot find the window either. So is there some other solution or is there a way to find a window by knowing the name of one of its controls? Thanks! Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxP Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 This is an interesting problem. I would suggest using WinList() and then something like ControlSetText() on every window until there's no @Error:Local $I, $WinHandle, $WinList = WinList() For $I = 1 To $WinList[0][0] ControlSetText($WinList[$I][1], '', '_GD_QueryEdit_1', 'The desired text') If Not @Error Then $WinHandle = $WinList[$I][1] ExitLoop EndIf Next If Not $WinHandle Then MsgBox(0x30, 'Error', 'The window was not found.')If you don't want to modify the window or its controls in any way, simply replace ControlSetText() above with any other command that accepts a control ID and throws an @Error when that control doesn't exist.
