I'm trying to convert an integer to Hex, which I've gotten to work. However, if I try to do this with a window HWND that I retrieved via COM, it will not convert. This demonstrates what I mean:
Code:
pwb := COM_CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") ; AHK_L & COM_L
pwb.Visible := True
hwnd := pwb.HWND
If hwnd is Integer
   MsgBox, %hwnd%
; hwnd := 10617752   ; example hwnd
SetFormat, Integer, Hex
   hwnd := hwnd
SetFormat, Integer, Dec
MsgBox, %hwnd%

The first MsgBox always comes up as an integer, but the second comes up as an integer as well (dec format). However, if I uncomment the sixth line, the second MsgBox will come up as Hex. Is the variable hwnd different if it's storing a value retrieved with COM? What I'm trying to do is access a window that was accessed with COM, but using the AHK commands. (ie WinTitle := ahk_id %hwnd%)

Why did you go with this for conversion?

Code:
hwnd := hwnd


I believe the manual recommends this:

Code:
hwnd += 0


Have you tried that already?

It's essentially difference between:
Code:
hwnd := "10617752"
; or
hwnd := 10617752
