Beta & WinGetTitle?

[SmOke_N]

Case $msg = $Button_7
         Opt("WintTitleMatchMode", 2);;;;;;;;;; 1, 2, 3, or 4(with using even "last") won't work
         $title = WinGetTitle("FirstPossibleTitle" Or "SecondPossibleTitle")
         If $title = "0" Or $title = "1 - 34" Then;;;;;;;;; Put this If statement out of frustration
            MsgBox(48, "Problem Retrieving Title", "This title will have to be entered manually.", 10)
            GUICtrlDelete($Combo_6)
            $Combo_6 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 20, 130, 300, 21)
         Else
            GUICtrlDelete($Combo_6)
            $Combo_6 = GUICtrlCreateCombo($title, 20, 130, 300, 21)
         EndIf

Um, this used to work till I installed Beta .38? I can't imagine the beta really causing the error of consistantly getting a "0" or "1 - 34" as a tilte name. Considering that neither of those are "FirstPossibleTitle" or "SecondPossilbeTitle", I'm getting frustrated

I've Compiled with regular Autoit then ran w/ beta run and compiled with beta compile, still no help.

Any suggestions?

Don't see how that would ever work

From help file

WinGetTitle ( "title" [, "text"])

Parameters

title The title of the window to read.

text [optional] The text of the window to read.

Return Value

Returns a string containing the complete window title. Returns numeric 1 if no title match.

Remarks

WinGetTitle("") returns the active window's title. WinGetTitle works on both minimized and hidden windows. If multiple windows match the criteria, the most recently active window is used.

Therefore one of the following would be more apt to work

Run("Notepad")
Sleep ( 1000 )
$title = WinGetTitle("Untitled - ")
$title2 = WinGetTitle("")

Either one of the two WinGetTitle calls should get the full title

Are you saying that you don't see how "Or" would work? You've recalled the "help file" but it supports what I've done.

EDIT: I Would then have to have a statement like: $Combo_6 = GUICtrlCreateCombo($title Or $title2, 20, 130, 300, 21)? or an If statement is what your suggesting? Sorry, but this is my first language I've tried to learn.

I know autoit allows or statements

Have to be careful how they are used

for example

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
Run("Notepad")
Sleep ( 1000 )
ConsoleWrite(WinGetTitle("Untitled - " or "Notepad") & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(WinGetTitle("Untitled - ") & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(WinGetTitle("Notepad") & @LF)

Produces on my machine

>Running: (3.1.1.1):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\My Documents\test5.au3" 

ISLALERT_WINDOWNAME_{DA5EA0DE-0190-4755-9ABE-C6DBF5A1008B}

Untitled - Notepad

Better? This works at least.
