Control Class Varies

[lizardly]

I have noticed that sometimes my AutoIT .exe will work and sometimes it won't

and this is because I'm using CLASS: and INSTANCE: to control focus and events.

Sometimes the class shows up as

ControlFocus("Encode","","[CLASS:WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.3ce0bb8; INSTANCE:3]")

and sometimes as

ControlFocus("Encode","","[CLASS:WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.5c39d4; INSTANCE:3]")

The app.0.xxxxxx is changing between the two values.

I don't want to code for both.

Does anyone see where I'm getting crossed up here?

Shows up where? What you are listing is code from your own script, not information from the target window. Is that just your way of telling us what you see in Au3Info.exe, or are you controlling your own GUI this way? If it's your GUI, why on earth are you not keeping the control ID when it's created and using that?

The app.0.xxxxxx is changing between the two values.

When does it change? While running a single instance of the program, after using a certain function, or the next time you run it, or when run on a different computer, each time you compile it, ...?

I don't want to code for both.

Looks like you already did...

Not yet, explain which times are "sometimes".

That's because the app is written with/for .Net. Read this for a possible solution: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14323

Thanks for the input!

I should have mentioned it's a .net app so these comments make sense. The fact that there are only 2 values showing up

makes me think that perhaps they depend on which "duel processor" they are being launched on.

The ID is guaranteed to change every time the app is launched.

I'll look into using the position approach.

Thanks!
