As you can check above, controls I want to use have same ClassNN which makes me frustrated. I've tried many times many ways to control it, but I can only use first control among the controls sharing same ClassNN. Anybody has any solution about it?

Use the hWnd instead of the ClassNN, it is more likely to be unique.

- Did you try looping through the controls and retrieving text?
- It may be that the Edit control only shows when you are renaming an item. E.g. this happens when you rename a file in Explorer.
- See the example, 'get control information for the active window (ClassNN and text)', here:

- Try the window spy on a control when it does not have the focus.

This might help.
IfInString, Controlname/Outputvariable, SearchString ; Addr1, Addr2, State, etc...
{
What you want to do.
}
To get the Controlname, you can use various commands:
MouseGetPos, XMpos, YMpos, WinID, OutputVariable
ControlGetText, OutputVariable [, Control, WinTitle,...]
Looks like you using either WindowSpy or AHK Window Info. Can't tell which. If that is some other too, then might want to download them or get the latest version of WindowSpy.ahk. It should be in your AutoHotkey directory. If not, you can download the ZIP of Autohotkey. They should give you the text of each control.
ControlClick can be used on the 1) text of the control, 2) name of the control (button7 for example), or 3) the X, Y coordinates of the control. So you have different ways to act on the control.

I've run your code on the link above, I can only check through the code that there are 2 more control having same ClassNN. I put some letter to find in controls, vText returns the last string I put in it with same control name which is Edit66. It makes me crazy I cannot use ControlSend to an element which I want to use.jeeswg wrote:- Did you try looping through the controls and retrieving text?

- It may be that the fields are part of the same control, and that the Edit control only appears when you a field is focused (ready to type something in). This is true in Explorer, only when you are renaming a file, does an Edit control appear.
- So a possible solution would be to use ControlClick on the control that contains all the fields, and then apply ControlGetText/ControlSetText.
- You might like to use AccViewer to investigate the program.

Thank you for your post and I've downloaded Acc, but I didn't get your suggestion. I'm pretty sure you didn't mean codes below because it's not working and it looks useless.
Code: Select all
ControlClick, Edit66, %WinTitle%
ControlGetText, OutputVar, Edit66, %WinTitle%
MsgBox, % OutputVar
ControlSetText, Edit66, abcdef, %WinTitle%

Just out of curiosity. Aren't these web-based 'controls' ?

No, it's not. It's an ordinary application run on windows.BoBo wrote:Just out of curiosity. Aren't these web-based 'controls' ?
