Title: @dchWnd Back to Control Name or Number
Post by: JTaylor on March 14, 2021, 02:16:52 PM
If I have the Windows Handle of a control is there a way back to the Control Name or Number?   This seems like I am missing the obvious but that is what I excel at so thought I would ask.

The question begs for another question but ignoring the urge.  You could do something like the following in a Dialog Callback:

Code (winbatch) Select
            nCtlNum = DllCall('User32.dll',long:'GetDlgCtrlID', long:hWnd) - 99
            strCtlName = dialogProcOptions(MyDialog_Handle, @dpoCtlName, nCtlNum)
            Message('Control Name', strCtlName)

If my latest crazy idea works out I am guessing your question will be answered at some point in the near future  :)

That's right...should have thought of this.   Thanks.

The above 3 lines are not guaranteed to work.  Dialog templates that have GroupBoxes or have tab orders that do not match the order of the control in the dialog template can cause control IDs to differ from control numbers.

Understood.  Thanks again for the reminder.   I knew this at one point but had been awhile since I had used this method and it had slipped my mind.
