Code:

Process, Exist, WolfRat.exe
if !errorlevel
  exitapp
else
{
  WRPID := errorlevel
  errorlevel = 0
}

ControlGet, ChatBox, Hwnd,,SysListView321, ahk_pid%WRPID%, ahk_pid%WRPID%
ControlGet, ChatBoxText, List,,, ahk_id %ChatBox%
msgbox %ChatBoxText%
Return
ChatBoxText has nothing

I also tried
ControlGetPos, X, Y,,,, ahk_id %ChatBox%
and it works just fine

I was tempted to react because some parts of the code were fishy: the double ahk_pid without space, the test on a specific program.
But after clean up I tested it on a well known application: the HTML help of AutoHotkey, after the search of a keyword:
Code:
Process Exist, HH.exe
If (errorlevel = 0)
  ExitApp
Else
{
  WRPID := errorlevel
  errorlevel = 0
}
; Get the ID
ControlGet searchResultID, Hwnd, , SysListView321, ahk_pid %WRPID%
; The problematic command
ControlGet count, List, Count, , ahk_id %searchResultID%
ControlGet results, List, Count, , ahk_id %searchResultID%
; Verify the ID is correct
ControlGetPos x, y, w, h, , ahk_id %searchResultID%
MsgBox PID: %WRPID%`nID: %searchResultID%`n# %count%`n%x% %y% %w% %h%`n%results%
; Compare with classical Get
ControlGet count, List, Count, SysListView321, AutoHotkey Help
ControlGet results, List, , SysListView321, AutoHotkey Help
MsgBox # %count%`n%results%
Return
Indeed, I have no results with the ID, so either I miss something myself, or something is broken.
It is documented that "The syntax for ListView retrieval is:
ControlGet, OutputVar, List, Options, SysListView321, WinTitle, WinText",
so if it is a limitation, I suggest to explicitly state that the ID way doesn't work.

[EDIT] Corrected typos.

Guess what, I finally found something that works on win98 and win98se
that does not work on XP!

PhilLho's example code works flawlessly on win98's.

I had the seach results showing in autohotkey help, and PhilLho's example code captured and displayed all the results in the list. Laughing

Rolling Eyes thats a first

A similar problem was fixed in the post http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12619
thats why I tried the ControlGetPos to see if it wasnt fixed yet, but it worked flawlessly.

This will be fixed in the next update. The problem affects other commands too, namely ControlGet's FindString/Choice/List, and Control's Add/Delete/Choose.

Thanks for making it easy to reproduce this.

Hi,

I've been trying this code:

Code:
; This script retrieves the ahk_id (HWND) of the active window's focused control.
; This script requires Windows 98+ or NT 4.0 SP3+.
GuiThreadInfoSize = 48
VarSetCapacity(GuiThreadInfo, GuiThreadInfoSize)
NumPut(GuiThreadInfoSize, GuiThreadInfo, 0)
if not DllCall("GetGUIThreadInfo", uint, 0, str, GuiThreadInfo)
{
    MsgBox GetGUIThreadInfo() indicated a failure.
    return
}
FocusedHWND := NumGet(GuiThreadInfo, 12)  ; Retrieve the hwndFocus field from the struct.
; MsgBox % "The focused control's ahk_id (HWND) is " . FocusedHWND
; This ID can be used all control commands.  For example:
; ControlGetText, OutputVar,, ahk_id %FocusedHWND%

ControlGet string, Selected,,ahk_id %FocusedHWND%


Seems to be affected under Vista 32Bit.

You are missing a comma.

To operate upon a control's HWND (window handle), leave the Control parameter blank and specify ahk_id %ControlHwnd% for the WinTitle parameter
