Hey guys, I have another newb question. So far, the only way I know of focusing a window is by using it's title. So if I have a window named "ABCD" and then I want to focus a window called "AD" I have a problem, because substring "AD" is contained within "ABCD". To fix this I tried using the command: Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3) API for this command can be seen here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/AutoItSetOption.htm However, I still get the same problem. If I focus "ABCD" first, I can't focus "AD" after. Here is my script so far: ;Alters the method used to search window titles. For more info see also: ;http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/AutoItSetOption.htm Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3) ; Prompt the user to run the script - use a Yes/No prompt (4 - see help file) Local $answer = MsgBox(4, "Looper tester", "This script will run an infinite loop for a test. Run?") ; Check the user's answer to the prompt (see the help file for MsgBox return values) ; If "No" was clicked (7) then exit the script If $answer = 7 Then MsgBox(0, "AutoIt", "OK. Bye!") Exit EndIf Local $launcherName = "ABCD" Local $appExeName = "AD" ; Run Launcher ShellExecute("somePath") ; Wait for the launcher to become active WinWaitActive($launcherName) MouseMove ( 900, 600) MouseClick ( "left") WinWaitActive($appExeName) WinActivate($appExeName) MouseMove ( 900, 600) MouseClick ( "left") ;Loop stuff ; Finished!What am I doing wrong? Why can't I focus $exeExeName? Thanks in advance! I hope it is clear that this question is about substrings and window focus. This is within the user agreement and forum rules.
