Airwolf Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 ControlGetHandle() using the return value of ControlGetFocus() will give you the handle.

PsaltyDS Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Is it possible to get the ID or maybe the handle, preferably the ID, of a control that has focus? In many ways (not all) a control is just a small window on top of a larger one. Many of the _WinAPI_* functions work on a control as well as window. One of these can be used to retrieve the ControlID after you determine the handle: #Include <WinAPI.au3> #include <Constants.au3> $hGui = GUICreate("Test", 400, 240) $ctrlLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 380, 180) $ctrlButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Quit", 150, 200, 100, 30) GUISetState() Sleep(500) $sFocus = ControlGetFocus($hGui) $hButton = ControlGetHandle($hGui, "", $ctrlButton) $iButton = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hButton, $GWL_ID) ControlSetText($hGui, "", $ctrlLabel, "ControlID = " & $ctrlButton & @CRLF & _ "Focused ID = " & $sFocus & @CRLF & _ "Handle = " & $hButton & @CRLF & _ "Retreived ID = " & $iButton) Do Sleep(10) Until GUIGetMsg() = $iButton Edit: Improved demo to show a usage for the retrieved ControlID.
