If the windows are at least of different types you could do something
like the following:
Const
SHARED_ID = 1234,
INTERNAL_ID1 = 2000,
INTERNAL_ID2 = 20001
int Function GetInternalId(Handle hWnd)
Var
string strClass,
int nID
Let nID = GetControlID(hWnd)
Let strClass = GetWindowsClass(hWnd)
If nID == SHARED_ID1 Then
If strClass == "SysTreeView32" Then
return INTERNAL_ID1
Elif strClass ="SysListView32" Then
return INTERNAL_ID2
EndIf
EndIf
; return 0
EndFunction
Note that I haven't tried entering this in the script editor so there
may be errors, it's only meant to illustrate the idea of using
whatever unique information is available to assign an easier value for
matching purposes. After writing the above function you could do
something like the following:
void Function SomeEventHandler(Handle hWnd)
var
int nID
...
Let nID = GetInternalID(hWnd)
If nID == SHARED_ID1 Then
...
ElIf nID == SHARED_ID2 Then
...
EndIf
EndFunction
Also, if the class/ID pair is unique within a context you can use
FindWindowWithClassAndId to get a handle to it.
