Hi "Feta",
at this stage you cannot do this. But it's very easy to implement and I've
been think of doing it anyway, so I'll put it into the next release.

It'll be something like ....

   info = getControlInfo( id , item)

where item can be either a single keyword or a list of keywords. It would
return the item(s) requested by the keywords.

eg.
    sequence info
    info = getControlInfo(s[i], w32CI_Type)
    if info[1] = True then -- A valid ID and valid types supplied.
        if info[2] is an EditText control  then
            t=append(t, getText(s[i]) )
        elsif info[2] is an DropDownList control then
            t=append(t, getIndex(s[i]) )
        elsif etc ....

       end if
    end if

This is just an idea for now. Does anybody else have opinions about this
issue?

Of course another way would be to do this...

  s = {}
  . . .
  s = append(s, {create(...), EditText})
  s = append(s, {create(...), DropDownList})
  . . .
  for i=1 to length(s) do
     if integer ( s[i][1] ) and s[i][1] != 0 then   -- if it's a valid id

         if s[i][2] is an EditText control  then
             t=append(t, getText(s[i][1]) )
         elsif s[i][2] is an DropDownList control then
             t=append(t, getIndex(s[i][1]) )
         elsif etc ....

         end if

     end if
 end for
