Here goes...

This is used to get info from a GUI file loaded into memory.
GUI_buf_get_desc();
Gets the "Physical Description" from the GUI map file and object you specify.

GUI_buf_get_desc ( "C:\\a.gui", "Untitled - Notepad", "Edit", out_desc );

out_desc contains "{class: \"edit\"}"

This is used to get info from a GUI file stored on the hard drive.
GUI_map_get_desc():
Gets the "Physical Description" and "file name" from a loaded GUI map.

GUI_map_get_desc ( "Untitled - Notepad", "Edit", out_desc, out_file );

out_desc contains "{class: \"edit\"}"

out_file contains "C:\\a.gui"

P.S.
I have been written WinRunner test scripts for over 8 years and have never used these commands. They are for people who like to make things complicated...(job security)

The only GUI commands I need to use are listed in example code.

You can swat a fly with a sledge hammer, but another tool works better, costs less, and does less damage...
