Returns the unique ID number of the specified control.
Hwnd := ControlGetHwnd(Control , WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText)
Type: String, Integer or Object
The control's ClassNN, text or HWND, or an object with a Hwnd property. For details, see The Control Parameter.
Type: String, Integer or Object
If each of these is blank or omitted, the Last Found Window will be used. Otherwise, specify for WinTitle a window title or other criteria to identify the target window and/or for WinText a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility).
ExcludeTitle and ExcludeText can be used to exclude one or more windows by their title or text. Their specification is similar to WinTitle and WinText, except that ExcludeTitle does not recognize any criteria other than the window title.
Window titles and text are case-sensitive. By default, hidden windows are not detected and hidden text elements are detected, unless changed with DetectHiddenWindows and DetectHiddenText; however, when using pure HWNDs, hidden windows are always detected regardless of DetectHiddenWindows. By default, a window title can contain WinTitle or ExcludeTitle anywhere inside it to be a match, unless changed with SetTitleMatchMode.
Type: Integer
This function returns the window handle (HWND) of the specified control.
A TargetError is thrown if the window or control could not be found.
A control's HWND is often used with PostMessage, SendMessage, and DllCall. On a related note, a control's HWND can also be retrieved via MouseGetPos. Finally, a control's HWND can be used directly in a WinTitle parameter. This also works on hidden controls even when DetectHiddenWindows is Off.
