WinTitleMatchMode

[anixon 0]

When using this:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 1)

That supports this code

;//Compile Current Window Position
Func _StartUpWinPos()
 ;//Capture the Windows Current x y Position
 Local $Handle = WinGetHandle("sEmailSMS", "")
 $StartupPos = WinGetPos($Handle, "")
 If UBound($StartupPos) = 4 Then
  $sUpLeft = $StartupPos[0]
  $sUpTop = $StartupPos[1]
  $sUpWidth = $StartupPos[2]
  $sUpHeight = $StartupPos[3]
 EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_StartUpWinPos

the Widow Created by:

GUICreate(" " & $StartupTitle, $sUpWidth, $sUpHeight, $sUpLeft, $sUpTop, $WS_SYSMENU)

is the right size and in the correct x y location.

however if you have a reason to use

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

the Window created by the same GUICreate:

GUICreate(" " & $StartupTitle, $sUpWidth, $sUpHeight, $sUpLeft, $sUpTop, $WS_SYSMENU)

does not have the same Height expected given the value assigned to variable $sUpHeight.

Whist my need does not require WinTitleMatchMode to process with option 2 I was reluctant to post this issue as a bug given that it might either be known or there was a simple explaination. Ant..

Can you provide a working script that demonstrates your claim?

Can you provide a working script that demonstrates your claim?

I have done some extensive testing and have not been able to repeat the symptom. I have noticed that occasionally an AutoIT function will simply and inexplicably stop working as expected and on those occasions a cold boot of the OS appears to be the remedy. I have been unable with any certainty identify the cause which may simply be related to OS updates published by Microsoft. For example the last Microsoft Update '10 Feb AEDT' changed the program associations for Safari the effect of which was when you tried to launch MobileMe/ Account Tab/ Account Details it simply launched Microsoft Office Word. Resetting the programs associated with Safari resolved that issue.

The follow is the code that I used for testing

expandcollapse popup

;//Include the sEmailSMS Variables
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>


Global $StartupTitle = "Start-up ", $StartupPos, $sUpLeft = -1, $sUpTop = -1, $sUpWidth = 330, $sUpHeight = 135, _
  $sExit

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
