That was a good function Jackie.
But if you specify when creating the function that it returns a handle,
then you could have included a
Return hw at the end of the function. This way you could test the
results of the function call when you use it.

Let's try this, Mike.
var
handle hw
let hw = FindDescendantWindow(GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow()),
ControlID)
if (hw) then
SetFocus(hw)
else
sayMessage(OT_NO_DISABLE, "window not found")
endif
U may have to do some experimenting regarding finding the particular
window. Also, make certain the program actually does allow this window
to in fact be focused, else the function won't work, &, because it
returns void, the only way you'll know that is to not have it do what
it's supposed to do. Fine for u, not so fine if it's a user for whom
you're scripting lol.
U can also use the FindWindowWithClassAndID() function, which takes
both a window class & a control ID. Experiment w/those & see if either
works for u.
