Get hwnd of Controls on a form 3

[sugarflux]

Hi guys

I need to get the handle of controls on one of my forms. I'm returning the form hWnd with the FindWindow function and i've attempted using the enumchildwindows procedure to no avail.

I'm sure this must be an easy thing to accomplish using an api call - but which one !?

As i'm working in VBA from Excel obvioulsy i'm a bit more limited than working directly from VB..

Let me know if more info is needed..

Thanks

what is it that you are trying to achieve - there may be a native way to do it without API calls....

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

Hi Geoff

Hmmm... Interesting question (one you'll probably regret asking!)

I'm actually trying to class a frame to behave as a userform. To allow it to be resized and moved around the form etc. I'm not quite sure of the extent of the work required at the moment but the first step is definately to get the hWnd of the frame.....

Some controls have hWnd, other not. The control has hidden _GethWnd method. Try:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
MsgBox Me.OptionButton1.[_GethWnd]
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
MsgBox Me.MultiPage1.[_GethWnd]
End Sub

That's fantastic combo! I've been programming for nearly 10 years and never knew of this property!

Hmmm.. secret admirers.. insiders... this forum is more exciting than anyone would have thought

Down to the difficult bit now.. trying to make a frame behave like a form using a class module. I'll start with allowing the frame to resize.. If anyone has any advice please don't hold back!

Thanks again
