RE: How to get a dialog object's object-reference?

Hi Linden,

MOVE-OBJECT-HANDLE will give you the Windows handle (HWND) to the object you specify.  It may be confusing but at the API level you will get a Windows handle to a Button. When I refer to a Windows handle (HWND) it is NOT the handle to the containing Window.

Remember "Inheritance" in an Object Programming environment. So......

button ----- > inherits from  (referred to as superclass in docs)

    gadget -----> inherits from

           AbstractWindow ------> Inherits from

                   Guibase

If you look in docs for Guibase in the "Class Methods" you should find "fromHandle".

"disable" is documented under "AbstractWindow":-

----

Makes this object insensitive to mouse and keyboard events. Some controls change in appearance when disabled.

Unfortunately there is a steep learning curve but you do start to get used to it quite quickly.

Regards

David
