I have a ie: combobox, or static in a form and I want to know its handle. How can I do that.
I have the following code
invoke SendMessage,hWin,WM_SETTEXT,0,ADDR Mytext
Here hWin is the handle´s ie: textbox, but I don`t know how to get that hWin value.
regards.
hi drjr
you can get the handle from a window or any form with a spy tool
i like spy++ from visual studio or windowshack

Hello:
To get the handle to any control on a dialog box form you must know its ID number. Then use the GetDlgItem API function to retrieve the handle like this:
.const
COMBOBOX1 equ 1000 ; this is the combobox control ID
.data?
hCB dd ? ; storage variable for the combobox handle that you wish to get
.data
Mytest db "this is a test",0
invoke GetDlgItem,hWin,COMBOBOX1 ; get the handle to the combobox, hWin in this case is the handle of the dialog box or form that houses the combobox control.
mov hCB,eax ; save the handle for later use.
invoke SendMessage,hCB,WM_SETTEXT,0,ADDR Mytext

if your using CreateWindowEx or CreateWindow you would do it like this.
invoke CreateWindowEx,NULL,ADDR Static, NULL,WS_CHILD+WS_VISIBLE, 5, 110, 242, 15,hWnd,2,hInstance,NULL
mov hStatic,eax
