Tool to find CLASS control on MS userform

[CADMonkey 0]

Hi,

I have created a bit of code to enable a script to find named controls on a userform, even though the MS CLASS description changes between machines.

e.g. The CLASS "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.24b689f_r14_ad1" for a text box on one PC is different on another.

The below code, (a cut-down version of the code from jdelaney original post)  loops through all the controls and finds the first one with the desired string in the control class name - in this case "EDIT".  This name is then usable for setting the text using ControlSetText.

 

#include <array.au3>
WinActivate("Edit Part Rule")

$TheClassName = GetAllWindowsControls(WinGetHandle("Edit Part Rule"), "EDIT")

;Sleep(500)
ControlSetText("Edit Part Rule", "", "[CLASS:" & $TheClassName & "; INSTANCE:3]", $CmdLine[1])
ControlSetText("Edit Part Rule", "", "[CLASS:" & $TheClassName & "; INSTANCE:4]", $CmdLine[2])


Func GetAllWindowsControls($hCallersWindow, $sStringIncludes)

; Get all list of controls
    $sClassList = WinGetClassList($hCallersWindow)

    ; Create array
    $aClassList = StringSplit($sClassList, @CRLF, 2)

    ; Sort array
    _ArraySort($aClassList)
    _ArrayDelete($aClassList, 0)

    ; Loop
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aClassList) - 1
        If StringInStr($aClassList[$i], $sStringIncludes) Then
            Return $aClassList[$i]
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc   ;==>GetAllWindowsControls

If anyone has any suggestions to improve it, or a better way to achieve the same thing, please let me know.
