get ClassNameNN or Control ID under mouse

[improbability_paradox]

Hi there. I am new to this forum, but have been using AutoIT for about a year now. I am currently working on a script, and would like to know if there is any way that I can get the ClassNameNN or Control ID of the control currently under the mouse (same info that I would get with AU3INFO, but from within the script itself). I have looked through the help file extensively, and searched this forum as well, but I couldn't really find anything that related to what I want to accomplish. Any ideas, anyone? thanks in advance.

Regards,

Would this work for you?

_CtrlGetByPos

Would this work for you?

_CtrlGetByPos

That may just do it! I will test it out and let you know.

_MouseGetCtrlInfo

Sounds good (and welcome to the forum!)

_MouseGetCtrlInfo

After a bit of testing/troubleshooting, this worked perfectly for me. It is basically the same code used in _CtrlGetByPos (also by smOke_N) but with a few changes and already set up to work with the mouse coordinates. the only thing I had to change in the function itself was the line

Local $hWin = WinGetHandle(''), $hCtrlWnd = '', $sClassList = WinGetClassList($hWin)

which became

Local $hWin = WinGetHandle("active"), $hCtrlWnd = '', $sClassList = WinGetClassList($hWin)

and was really only necessary because of my own code which came prior to the function being called. Awesome! thank you both for your replies!
