Hi.

Is there a possibility to retrieve the HWND of an EDIT Control in a GUI? (Not the window handle HWND)

Code:
    Gui, 1:Add, Edit,     x044   y020  w020  h020 vFile1 HWNDhedit1                               
    Gui, 1:Add, Edit,     x044   y040  w020  h020 vFile2 HWNDhedit2     
 


For example, what can I do to get the %hedit1% of File1 control?

Thanks.

Gui -> Controls: Uncommon Styles and Options wrote:
HwndOutputVar [v1.0.46.01+]: When used with Gui Add, this option stores the window handle (HWND) of the newly created control in OutputVar. For example: Gui, Add, Edit, vMyEdit HwndMyEditHwnd. When within a function, MyEditHwnd is treated as a function dynamic variable. A control's HWND is often used with PostMessage, SendMessage, and DllCall. It can also be used directly as an ahk_id WinTitle (this also works on hidden controls even when DetectHiddenWindows is Off) or [in v1.1.04+] with GuiControl and GuiControlGet as the ControlID parameter. On a related note, a parent window's HWND can be retrieved via Gui MyGui:+HwndOutputVar.

psst you really need to read the actual documentation
Code:
Gui, Add, Edit, vMyEdit HwndMyEditHwnd
MsgBox,% MyEditHwnd

You've already got it. Just use it.
Code:
MsgBox % hedit1

Yes, of course.

But if I don't know that is %hedit1% ?
If I only know control name "File1" ?

ControlGet and GuiControlGet can give you the HWND of a control. The Gui version is for Guis you make, the other is for other programs' controls.

Code:
Gui, 1:Add, Edit,     x044   y020  w020  h020 vFile1 HWNDhedit1                               
Gui, 1:Add, Edit,     x044   y040  w020  h020 vFile2 HWNDhedit2

Thanks all!

I was in wrong!
The statement
Code:
GuiControlGet, Wdb_HWND, Hwnd, File1

returns right the handle control (not the window handle).

:D
