How do I operate upon a control's ItemID when using ControlGet? The ItemID of a control can be found by using WinExplorer from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/winexp.html

What is the controls ID/text name found in Au3_spy.exe that comes with AHK?
For instance

Use PostMessage

You can also get the ID using
Winspector

I could be wrong but I think that WinExplorer's ItemID isn't a standard ID number.

I noticed that Winspector's ID is different.

WInSpector: 2163091
WinExplorer: 3161407064

Again I'm not 100% sure but its kind of strange.

The ID is the value used by Postmessage to activate controls in an app.

i tested it on a number of apps I used regularly; Agent Ransack & Cleanup.
The postmessage command worked on both apps using the item ID value

To verify what i said, Download a free copy of Ranorex Spy
http://www.ranorex.com/fileadmin/downlo ... rexSpy.exe
It displays the same ID value.
