Returns an integer representing the style or extended style of the specified control.
Style := ControlGetStyle(Control , WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText) ExStyle := ControlGetExStyle(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
These functions return the style or extended style of the specified control.
A TargetError is thrown if the window or control could not be found.
See the styles table for a partial listing of styles.
ControlGetExStyle only retrieves generic extended styles, such as WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE (0x200). To retrieve control-specific extended styles, use SendMessage, e.g. SendMessage(0x1037, 0, 0, MyListView) where 0x1037 is LVM_GETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE. For a ListView created via AutoHotkey, this example returns 48 (0x30), a combination of LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT (0x20) and LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP (0x10), provided the extended ListView styles have not been changed beforehand.
