Hi,

is there a way to retrieve the name of control directly?
... or must I first to move the mouse and in step 2 using the mouseGetPos command?

I've got the x,y screen coordinates of the control:



Thanks in advance

OK, once you gotm what dya wanna do withm?

Yes, it can be done without using the mouse position.
The steps you need are:
1. convert your screen coords to window relative coords
2. Get a list of all controls for your window (WinGet, outVar, ControlList)
3. for each control in list, get its x,y,w,h (Loop, parse and ConrolGetPos)
4. if the window relative coords are in bounds of control's x,y,w,h
you now have the classNN of the control

@DControl:
I want to read the subject field of an e-mail program (Lotus Notes)
Unfortunaly, the name of the control changes it's name from one msg to another.

@almin:
Thank you, this seems to be a good workaround
