hWnd to ControlId

[eltorro]

In an Autoit3 GUI, how can one get the ControlId of an Item knowing only it's hWnd?

[Holger]

Maybe this:

$ID = DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'GetDlgCtrlID', 'hwnd', $hWndCtrl)
$ID = $ID[0]

Maybe this:

$ID = DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'GetDlgCtrlID', 'hwnd', $hWndCtrl)
$ID = $ID[0]

Hmmm... Am I applying this in the wrong fashion? Using the help file as a test bed. Select an item in the tree, click the Info button. --> Get the ctrl hwnd and then convert it back --> fails.

No, you can't get the 'controlID' cause an item is not a 'real' control!

The treeview is the 'real' control.

What you want to get is the itemID.

If you want to get the ID of an item you have to take look in the GUITreeView-UDF in the helpfile and i.e. at google with "TVM_GETITEM".

The question is: for what to you need this extra functionality, cause you already have the ID's of the items!?

I just wanted to know how to change back from hWnd. Some DllCall's return hWnd instead of control Id.

I'm sure there is a use for it.

A followup question, I want to get the text from a dynamic treeviewitem when I click on it. Is there any way to do this?
