get handle for control with x/y position not working

[mro2]

Hi,

can someone explain why this is not working when I specify X or XandY, but it does work when I specify e.g. W, which I don't want since the size of the control/window can vary....

(see also screenshot):

$id = "[CLASS:TPageControl; X:210]"
$id2 = "[CLASS:TPageControl; W:929]"

$h2 = ControlGetHandle("title", "text", $id)
ConsoleWrite("h2:" & $h2 & @CRLF)
$h3 = ControlGetHandle("title", "text", $id2)
ConsoleWrite("h3:" & $h3 & @CRLF)

h2:
h3:0x00181574

Alright, brute force has shown that it works for X:1.

So I assume coordinates are relative to the CLASS:TPageControl control found. Although there are several instances of such a control. Hmmm....

You distorted your screenshot. That didn't help matters at all.

because it`s wrong.

What is "Title" and "text"?

I never work using the position and size of a control, but maybe This.

$h2 = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:TPageControl;INSTANCE:4]", "", "[CLASS:TPageControl; X:210]")
ConsoleWrite("h2:" & $h2 & @CRLF)

Well, title and text (well some text, or just "") of the window that contains the control. So I thought.

$h2 = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:TPageControl;INSTANCE:4]", "", "[CLASS:TPageControl; X:210]")
ConsoleWrite("h2:" & $h2 & @CRLF)

Can't match the Instance ID since each time it's different...

I have found no other method to select that control than its position which is unique in the app.

What more info is required? Edited August 4, 2011 by mro2

Instance ID from the control is the same always...
