Type of GUI control

[Triton]

Is there a way to find out the type of gui control from its variable?

I have an array of gui controls and I want to be able to discover which ones are checkboxes vs inputs.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You could try GuiCtrlRead(). The return from a checkbox will be the state info, while the return from an input will be text.

Thanks That was too easy! Int vs String

what's about returning 0 and I'm sure it's not a checkbox? I got the following info from Auto3Info:

Class: AfxFrameOrView42u

ClassnameNN: AfxFrameOrView42u2

Advanced (Class): [CLASS:AfxFrameOrView42u; INSTANCE:2]

ID: 119

Style: 0x50000000

ExStyle: 0x00000000

Example:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1)

$hGUI = GUICreate("GetClassName Demo", 200, 100)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 11, 11, 75, 23)

$cCheckbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("CheckBox", 11, 51, 80, 16)

$cInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("Hello", 91, 12, 100, 20)

GUISetState()

MsgBox(0, "ClassName", "Button: " & _GetClassName(GUICtrlGetHandle($cButton)))
MsgBox(0, "ClassName", "CheckBox: " & _GetClassName(GUICtrlGetHandle($cCheckbox)))
MsgBox(0, "ClassName", "Input: " & _GetClassName(GUICtrlGetHandle($cInput)))

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _GetClassName($hWnd)
    Local $aRet = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetClassName", _
                                                "hwnd", $hWnd, _
                                                "str", "", _
                                                "int", 256)
    If $aRet[0] Then Return $aRet[2]
EndFunc   ;==>_GetClassName

Func _Exit()
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit
