 Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2005 5:09 pm Post subject: Getting Window ID into variable |
 |
|
Hi all, hope some can help me do this....
I am working on a script which requires that I control a number of dialogs from another application that have identical titlebar names so I cannot distinguish between them and so I can't send a Window Send action to a specific dialog.
The way I thought of seperating the dialogs identity was to get the windows id into a variable, but I don't no how to do this.
Example:
if @winexits(Dialog A)
%A = @function to get (WindowsID)
End
Do somthing like window send @CR()
rem Next dialog appears
If @winexsits(Dialog A)
%B = @function to get(Windows ID)
End
If @not(@equal(%A,%B)
Do somthing else......
Hope someone can see what i am getting at. |

@winexists does return the Window's ID.

This function is used to determine whether the window <window> is present or not. It returns the window identifier if a main window or dialog box with a title bar of <string> exists, and null (false) if not. The <window> is specified using its full title bar text or its class name.

Would probably be easier if you used the Window Spy tool to see if the dialogs have different Class Names, if they do, you can use them with @winexists().

Hi there, thanks a lot for responding to my cry for help 
Unfortunately the 3 dialogs that I need to identify separately have all got the same window class and title bar text. The only thing that differs is the text which is in the dialog.
How do I get the text that is in a text box of this dialog box rather than the titlebar text ?
I used @wintext but only got the titlebar text and must be doing something wrong 
Many thanks once again
Regards
