Child Windows

[hkorchek]

Using the Window Info tool for some information I have the two following line in my script:

WinActivate("CareChek", "")

WinActivate("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.a; INSTANCE:8]", "")

The first bringing up the main program window and the second I need to pull up the child window in that application. I can not for the life of me figure out how to reference it. ANything else I should be looking at?

Thanks all,

try _WinAPI_GetAncestor($handle, 1) to get parent window's handle

try _WinAPI_GetAncestor($handle, 1) to get parent window's handle

Look at AnyGui.au3 for add child window to an existing window

This is a 3rd party app I am working with and the windows are already open. I just need to put the focus on that child window.

@hkorcheck using _WinAPI_GetAncestor($handle, 1) u can get the handle of the parent window, replace $handle witn the handle of the main window, the use WinActivate($handle of the parent window)

@firefox what u mean?

the child window already exist, he just want give it focus

@hkorchek I think _WinAPI_GetAncestor($handle, 1) is wrong, sorry

I uploaded a picture that might help. You can see the child window called "User Management" and I need to bring that window to focus.

[oMBRa]

if u know the title what's the problem:

WinActivate( "User Management" , "")

if u know the title what's the problem:

WinActivate( "User Management" , "")

That was the first thing I tried. I am assuming that it will only work for windows that show in the task bar and not child windows like this one.
