navigating to a particular form object

Hi All,

From the main app window at the top, how would i navigate directly to the form object marked with red crosses.

Super-hero status and a blue peter badge to whoever cracks it

Thanks

I would do it like this:

Press Tab

Repeat as necessary (or use the * n suffix).

I interpret your question as "How can I focus or work with this window, since it has no caption or window_title to work with?" Since just highlighting the entry in the "view system windows" utility would server no useful purpose I'm aware of.

Code: Select all

//Do something to make the desired window have the focus

//Use window handles since the title is blank

Let>WIN_USEHANDLE=1
GetActiveWindow>window_handle,X,Y

SetFocus>window_handle

Both, thanks for your replies

adroege, the item i wish to reach is a tree view list on a tabbed page on the form. rather than hop, skip and jump my way there I was hoping to be able to ascertain the 'handle' (?) of my treeview list and refer to it directly. So, whilst I can set the focus to the parent windown, my actual app, I then wanted to try and grab the treeview list within it.

If I were in Visual Studio I'd cycle through a list of controls on the form with a ForEach loop and (e.g) stop when I found one of type TreeView. Its that kind of approach I was investigating rather than emulating keystrokes. I will go the keystroke method if necessary but was, rightly or wrongly, looking at the problem through regular development eyes.

Have you tried.....

Code: Select all

GetTreeNode>WindowTitle,ClassName,Instance,Text,Case,Partial,Result,Handle

Returns in Result the index of the visible tree view node whose caption matches Text.
