FrancescoDiMuro 267 Posted May 1 (edited) 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 Edited May 1 by FrancescoDiMuro Hide FrancescoDiMuro's signature Hide all signatures Click here to see my signature: Spoiler Thoughts: I will always thank you for the time you spent for me.

Abivb 0 Posted May 1 Thanks @FrancescoDiMuro :). I did try &. It did not work either ! Any other ideas ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrancescoDiMuro 267 Posted May 2 @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) Hide FrancescoDiMuro's signature Hide all signatures Click here to see my signature: Spoiler Thoughts: I will always thank you for the time you spent for me.
