Windows System Windows List (WSWL).

Post by Stephen Brumbelow » Fri Jun 30, 2006 7:47 am

I know how to get the WSWL, but I don't know how to determine the handle and class name for the window I need to reference. I also do not know how to identify window parent/child relationships.

Learning to use ViewSystemWindows can be a bit confusing at times. In general, you will see a numeric value, followed by some text (usually the class, ie. Edit, ComboBox, etc...) then the text from that object (the text on the button, Edit field, etc...)

I have found it takes a bit of experimentation. My method is to use the GetControlText> command to first try to just read the informatio about the object. If I can do that, then I have a good idea of how to use the other commands like SetControlText, Pushbutton, etc....
