ControlSend Problem

[Jos]

Thanks Jos for the code,

Interestingly, it finds two windows with exact title but different handles, and I do not understand why?!

Am I not allowed to say: I told you so?

Yes, you did

So your next step is to test the 2 windows you have for visibility, and use the handle from the visible one.

Ss the handle same if the application is even running in another computer under another version of Windows?

No the handle wont be the same, it hardly ever will, even on the same machine.

take a look at the example of winlist() in the help, and its IsVisible() function

If you list just the "SyncBackPro" windows

WinList("SyncBack")

and use the IsVisible function upon it to get the window handle, you can use that handle in place of "SyncBack"

eg ControlSend($hWnd, "", "", "!+x")

thank you for your replies, but when it is minimized in systray, the IsVisible() doesn't work, and still I can't have its handle! any other suggestion?
