Number of controls on a GUI


 Share

Recommended Posts

Well, this is perhaps my most-stupid question... I need to count the number of controls present at a given time in a GUI.

Is there a way to acomplish that? Just point me to the way... I will go and fish it.

The setting is that I use variable lenght text-files to load TreeViewControls, and some of them have context menus. Because the documentation I know that AutoIt has a limit of 4095 controls per GUI. I want to avoid this, by catching this error before it happens and Pandora's box opens...

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Clarification

$Scintilla = _ControlGetCount('', 'Scintilla')
$All = _ControlGetCount('')
MsgBox(0, '', 'Scintilla: ' & $Scintilla & @CRLF & 'All: ' & $All)

Func _ControlGetCount($hWndGUI, $sType = '')
    If $sType = '' Then _
        Return UBound(StringSplit(StringTrimRight(WinGetClassList($hWndGUI), 1), @LF)) - 1
    For $iCC = 1 To 4095
        If ControlGetHandle($hWndGUI, '', $sType & $iCC) = 0 Then Return $iCC - 1
    Next
    Return SetError(1, 0, '')
EndFunc

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Thanks SmOke_N, I run out of ideas...
