How to specify dynamic classname to get handle

[Abivb 0]

Local $currentFocus = ControlGetFocus("Window1")

;This returns TListBox101

Now i want to use this one to get the handle. I am not sure how i should specify here.I tried

ControlGetHandle("Window1","","[CLASSNAME:"+$currentFocus"]").It didnt work.

Sorry I am new to autoit.

Hi @Abivb, and welcome to the AutoIt forums 

The string concat operator in AutoIt is &, so, try to use it instead of the plus symbol

Thanks @FrancescoDiMuro :). I did try &. It did not work either ! Any other ideas ?

@Abivb

If you look carefully in the Help file, you'll see that CLASSNAME is not a valid input for ControlGetHandle() function (and any other funxtion about Windows or Controls).

Try to use CLASSNN or CLASS and INSTANCE inputs:

ControlGetHandle("Window1","","[CLASSNN:" & $currentFocus & "]")

In the second option, you have to split the CLASS and the INSTANCE from the CLASSNN (should be CLASS:TListBox10; INSTANCE:1)

aa Yes @FrancescoDiMuro ,it worked. I should be using CLASSNN. Also i should use & both sides of appending. Thanks for helping me out of this.
