Conceptual question about GUICtrlGetState (CLOSED)

[Rishav]

When I do GUICtrlGetState($combo) for a combo field, the values i get is 80 or 144 depending on whether the field is enabled or disabled.

Why these numbers?

the hepfile says

"Success: Returns the state. See GUICtrlSetState for values.

Failure: Returns -1 if control is not defined. "

But in the page for GUICtrlSetState , no number definitions are provided. I guess I was expecting something like a string as output.

Hi,

just open GUIConstantsEx.au3 in SciTe and you will see:

80 = Const $GUI_SHOW + Const $GUI_ENABLE = 16 + 64

144 = Const GUI_SHOW + Const $GUI_DISBALE = 16 + 128
