Textbox ID in c#

[Guest]

I've a vendor provided executable that runs under WinCE .NET 4.2 and
requires two input parameters:
1. window handle of a dialog
2. ID of a textbox

The program will perform a barcode scanning and send the result to the
specified textbox. The program works fine in eVC++ 4.0 with the
following function call:

CString arg;
arg.Format(L"ScanToWindow H:%d ID:%d", GetSafeHwnd(), IDC_TEST);
CreateProcess(TEXT("\\windows\\Barcode.exe"),
arg,
NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

However, I need to develop an application in C# with compact
framework. I can find a routine to return the handle of the form:

[DllImport("CoreDll.dll")]
extern public static IntPtr GetCapture();

How about the corresponding textbox ID in C#? In eVC++, each textbox
is defined with an ID in a header file. Is there a counterpart in C#
textbox? I searched all the properties but no such decimal ID defined
in C#. Any idea?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Try to invoke the "GetDlgCtrlID" function of the coredll.dll.

To get the ID of your textbox try the following code:

[DllImport("CoreDll.dll")]
extern public static IntPtr GetCapture();

[DllImport("CoreDll.dll")]
extern public static int GetDlgCtrlID(IntPtr hwndCtl);

textbox.Capture = true;
IntPtr hwnd = GetCapture();
int id = GetDlgCtrlID(hwnd);

I hope this will help you!

Regards,
Daniel.

Thanks for your reply. I've tried the suggested function but it always return a zero and passing zero to my vendor provided executable will cause it to keep running.

Try to invoke the "GetDlgCtrlID" function of the coredll.dll.

To get the ID of your textbox try the following code:

[DllImport("CoreDll.dll")]
extern public static IntPtr GetCapture();

[DllImport("CoreDll.dll")]
extern public static int GetDlgCtrlID(IntPtr hwndCtl);

textbox.Capture = true;
IntPtr hwnd = GetCapture();
int id = GetDlgCtrlID(hwnd);

I hope this will help you!
