Reading A Window Title

[dainsleif 0]

Hi everybody

I am currently trying to read the full stats (name, text, position,..) , but mainly I need the title.

The problem is I know only part of the windowname. I know how to get full title etc when i know the first part of the title but I need to get the title even if I only know some middle-part or the end of the title.

So I am looking for a way to use some kind of wildcards to be able to get the title.

e.g.: wingettitle("*PartOfName*","")

Or else is there a way to read the title of the currently active window without knowing anything else about it?

------

found it in here and in help .. sorry for posting

delete plz

I have been trying to get this going, but to no success. I think this is one feature that would be good to have,, if it is not already in!

Larre, Jon, I hope you folks read this!

Cheers,

Casa

Option 2 allows a match of anything contained in the window, so Soft in this part would work if your window was say "HiddenSoft Forrums ->"

Substr= Part of a String.

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)   ;1=start, 2=substr, 3=exact, 4=...
msgbox(1,"info",WinGetTitle ( "Soft"  ))

you can use this for all window operations, size, position, etc. Just use the AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) or use the short version Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
