Hi,

can I use @wintext or @winexists to get data / content from a vds edit box from another window ?

I saw the @winexist(~editboxname) in the help file. This works fine
on the same dialog, but not on an "external".

Another Question.
I can get the memory pointer of a variable using @addr().
Is there a way to write to this using vds ?

Thanks for your help.

Bye, Fabian

You will have to use @window() to step through the elements until you get to the editbox that you want. Then use that info with @wintext() to get the text from that edit box.

but this way I cannot identify the edit box by its vds name,right ?

No, not if it is not on a VDS created app. It will just return the ID or CLASS number.

and with an vds app ? Can I get the vds element name of a element on another application (developed in vds) ?
