ControlGetHandle not working propably

[stittx]

Hello everybody,

I do have a serious problem in getting the handle of a control.

Im using Windows VISTA and AutoIt3.

It seems that my script does get a handle of a certain control.

But each time I want to work with that handle my script crashes within this function.

So in fact I'm not able to work with this handle.

Here is my code snippet.

$hCtrl2 = ControlGetHandle($hCtrl1, "Test", "") ;control of SQL Server instance edit field

If IsHWnd($hCtrl2) Then

MsgBox(4096, "", "It's a valid HWND")

Else

MsgBox(4096, "", "It's not an HWND")

EndIf

MsgBox(4096, "", $hCtrl2)

ControlFocus($hCtrl2)

MsgBox(4096, "", "After") ; this line is not executed any more, the script crashes before.

What is wrong? The autoIt info Window shows all properties of that certain control in a fine manner.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks Thomas

Looks like it should be

ControlGetHandle("Test","",$hCtrl1)

What is $hCtrl1?

You are providing the control handle where the Window title (or Window handle) belongs in the parameters for ControlFocus(). Look at ControlFocus parameters in the help file.
