Drifter Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 okay so essentially there's a large program I'm making and in some part of it i launch some program and see if it exists with its given title. What i have given is not the whole script but is a modification of the parts of the script that prove my point. I set the title we are looking for to "LOL CATZ" and i clearly have nothing running with that as a substring, yet the program insists "Success!" Why?! expandcollapse popup#include <WindowsConstants.au3> AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2) appStatReadyTest() Func appStatReadyTest() $appTitle = "LOL CATZ" $appStatTestWin = GUICreate("Statistics Tester: " & $appTitle, 300,100,-1,-1,-1,$WS_EX_TOPMOST) GUICtrlCreateGroup("Status:",10,10,280,80) $label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Opening Program...",20,35,260) $prog = GUICtrlCreateProgress(20,60,260,20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$appStatTestWin) ;start the test Sleep(1000) ;ShellExecute($arr[$cRow][$cCol][$cTab][1]) GUICtrlSetData($label,"Looking for " & Chr(34) & " *" & $appTitle & "* " & Chr(34) & " for 20 seconds...") $wExist = 0 $i = 1 While $i <= 20 Sleep(1000) ToolTip(WinExists($appTitle)) $wExist = WinExists($appTitle) GUICtrlSetData($prog,$i* 100/20) If ($wExist = 1) Then ExitLoop(1) EndIf $i += 1 WEnd If ($wExist = 1) Then GUICtrlSetData($prog,100) GUICtrlSetData($label,"Success!") Sleep(1000) EndIf EndFunc Any ideas on a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Robertson Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It exists because your own window has that title. Now try asking a hard question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when I miss something stupid like that.... The only problem now is that i really want that to be in the title because it seems like the correct thing to put there.... at least i can see where the problem is. Thanks.

PsaltyDS Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Examine the window with AU3Info.exe (the AutoIt Window Info Tool) and check it with a more specific advanced specification, like for example: WinExists("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:LOL CATZ]", "") See Window Titles and Text (Advanced) in the help file.

Richard Robertson Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You could also use WinList("LOL CATZ") and check the array. One of the handles will be the handle of your window so you can ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
