I've never understood what this is for in the MsgBox command:

MsgBox(ThisNumber, "",$a)

RTM!!! Um, It could be documented in the manual... Like somewhere under msgbox... DUUUUUUHHHHHHH!

I dont get why did doesnt work. It gets the code for the first window but it doesn't update itself

HotKeySet( "{esc}", "quit" )
Func quit( )
   Exit
EndFunc
SplashTextOn("WinClassNames", "Click on the window you wish to get ClassNames for.")
While 1
   $text = WinGetTitle("")
   $class = WinGetClassList($text)
   ControlSetText("WinClassNames", "Click on the window you wish to get ClassNames for.", "Static1", "Class Name for " & $text & ":"& @LF & $class)
Wend

I ran your code and all of it works fine but this :

ControlSetText("WinClassNames", "Click on the window you wish to get ClassNames for.", "Static1", "Class Name for " & $text & ":"& @LF & $class)

it looks like ControlseText just appends $class at the end of the previous $class and you dont see it any more here is my test code if you would like to play with it:

;$add a counter to see how many windows you changed to

; sleep(900) : I like to throw sleeps here and there

;$oldtext : just to see if $text changes

;also added an exit function with more data

;

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

HotKeySet( "{esc}", "endit" )

Func quit( )

Exit

EndFunc

SplashTextOn("WinClassNames", "Click on the window you wish to get ClassNames for.")

sleep(900)

$text = WinGetTitle("")

$oldtext = $text

While 1

while $oldtext = $text

$text = WinGetTitle("")

sleep(200)

wend

; WinWaitActive($text)

$class = WinGetClassList($text)

$add=$add+1

ControlSetText("WinClassNames", "Click on the window you wish to get ClassNames for.", "Static1", "Class Name for " & $text & ":"& @LF & $class)

$oldtext=$text

MsgBox(4096,"",$class)

Wend

func endit()

MsgBox(4096,"",$text & " " & $add)

Exit

EndFunc

CHANGE OFFENDING LINE ON YOUR CODE TO THIS LINE:

ControlSetText("WinClassNames", "", "Static1", "Class Name for " & $text & ":"& @LF & $class)

( get rid of "Click on the window you wish to get ClassNames for." )

on the ControlSeText function

it's been kicks
