How to discover Control Id which is diffrent every time you active the application

[jrh]

I have an application which the Control ID changes everytime you fire up the application.

How do i go about retrieving this dynamically.

Thanks

Depends what your trying to do. What's the program, and what are you trying to do? What script do you have so far?

Program is a Windows thick client developed in c#. Once i've logged in the main page of the application has tree control.

The id of the tree control changes everytime you fire it.

The tree control is key as all the data sits within the the tree.

Scriptwise - nothing much just been playing about with the tree control functions but with ID which i have to update manually.

I will put up a script once it does something meaningful. In the meantime any help on dynamically retrieving Id would be useful.

Thanks

use

Local $iD = @GUI_CtrlId
consolewrite($id&@Lf)

to get you id on what you have clicked.

but without seeing the code, we really are having to stab in the dark

First check to see if the ClassNameNN changes on every startup, if it doesn't then use that instead.

Otherwise, use the controls position to find its handle/class id/classnamenn by that position ... _CtrlGetByPos() : http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...l=_ctrlgetbypos
