List of controls on Form that is NOT open/active

prattspets

I thought I could use the Utility function with "OBJECTLIST" service to get the controls that are on a form, but it appears to work only if the form is active. Is there a way to programmatically get a list of the controls on a form that is not open/active?

The only way I know of is to read the SYSREPOSWINEXES record and parse it.

Ok - that's a great solution. Thanks!

Or you could call the Start_Window() procedure with the getStructureFlag parameter set. Pass true to return the structure of a window, without actually executing it. You can modify the structure, before executing it. Use the CREATE message for the Utility function, to execute the structure returned by Start_Window().
