BrewManNH Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I just tried the example script from the AutoIT3 help files and I get the same error. EDIT I just tried the same script again except that I inserted a sleep(100) right after the line that runs Notepad and it worked for me after I did that. I'm guessing that the problem is that the window isn't showing up fast enough for the script to see it unless I pause it briefly. Perhaps your script should make sure that the program is running before you check it. BTW, you're not using a window title in the script, not sure what the results of that will do.

Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

BrewManNH Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 The help file example errors because it tries to get the position before Notepad has a chance to start. Try running it when you have Notepad already opened.Yeah, I just found that out, and edited my comment. Oh well, bad example script in the help files I guess.

rdwray Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) Well, the help examples works for me - what is going on??????? Where are th gurus??????Perhaps your script should make sure that the program is running before you check it. BTW, you're not using a window title in the script, not sure what the results of that will do. This on a snippet.

rdwray Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Finally found it - the handle to the Gui must be in the first parameter. Yea, bad example:$hEdit2 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("now is the time for ", 170, 10, 150, 300) $pos = ControlGetPos($hWnd, "", $hEdit2) “No other God have I but Thee; born in a manger, died on a tree.” Martin Luther
