Inverse of GadgetID(Gadget)

[dougmo52usr]

When coding windows callbacks, I wanted a way to get the Gadget# assigned by use of the #PB_Any parameter. This seems to work.

Code: Select all

Procedure GadgetFromGadgetID(GadgetID)
  If IsWindow_(GadgetID)
    ProcedureReturn GetDlgCtrlID_(GadgetID)
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn 0
EndProcedure

Yes, that's what GetDlgCtrlID is for. It's what I always use because I know it'll never change but another way is GetProp_(hwnd, "PB_ID") which probably won't change either but being a PureBasic internal, it could potentially fall victim to a future overhaul of the way PureBasic manages windows and gadgets.

I miss being able to WaitWindowEvent(1)=#WM_CLOSE.

Yeah, me too!
