I know WIN* functions, but I want get info underneath the mouse pointer?

In "Autoit windows Info" Programme get Instance Control. Ex: button1, button2.

Not sure this is what you want but search for childwindowfrompoint

Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

Thanks, you can help me get get info underneath the mouse pointer.

button1, button2.. not "buton"

Windows Title ==> Windows underneath the mouse pointer

Thank you!

Given that the window under the mouse pointer might not be top of the Z-order (active), you have a couple options:

1. Search the forum for a couple of function posted by SmOke_N that give window and control info under the mouse pointer.

2. Code something yourself that runs WinList() then loops through the list checking each window for coordinates and size containing the mouse location.

I have been searching for a solution of the same (or similar) problem.

ad 1) I searched and found some functions that only give that information

of an active window but not of a window under mouse (non active).

One function gives the info from the active window regardless the mouse

pointer position.

Another one (with tooltips) retrieves "blanc" outside an active window

ad 2) It's not possible to base it on window position and size on the screen because

they may be two or more wins overlayed (for ex: explorer)

I need it for (drag and) dropping an item (file) on a window explorer window

(or another exporer)

The Window Info Tools gives the info from any window on the screen (active and

non active)

Thanks

Should do what you are looking for.

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.

Have It! :)

The only obstacle was not to remember that WinList() retreaves the windows

"in order" (visibles: first the active window, then the win "under" it, .........)

PsaltyDS, you were right, naturely

This script gets a control of a window in the screen (also inactive) - like AutoIt Windows Info Tool does

It contains _MouseGetCtrlInfo() ----- slightly adapted function made by: SmOke_N ?

ClientToScreen($hWnd) ---- made by smashly
