Zohar Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) HiIf I Run AutoIt Window Info tool,and then go to Menu: Options\Freeze, and uncheck it,the tool still behaves as usual - I have to drag the crosshair, instead of being able just to move with the mouse(without dragging), and see the results updated.What do I need to fix to make it work?Thank youZohar Edited February 29, 2012 by Zohar
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 18, 2012 Moderators Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Zohar,You are correct, the tool appears to be "frozen" permamently regardless of the option setting (at least in 3.3.9.0). I suggest opening a bug report.

AdmiralAlkex Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I ran all four Au3Info (3.3.8.1 and 3.3.9.0 (x86 and x64)) and I see no difference/problem (Win7).Two ideas:Did you just put your mouse outside Au3Info and gave up directly? It seems to only update after you moved over 2 or more controls/windows. Just move your mouse around and it will start working.Au3Info doesn't update when it's selected, give another window focusIf you really have a problem, then you need to post the steps necessary to reproduce it or you'll find that help both on the forum and bug trac are severely limited. .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 20, 2012 Moderators Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) AdmiraAlkex,I see no difference/problemIf you saw no difference than there is a problem. Apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs, but in the past the tool worked as follows:Edit: This is how it works (and is not what was here previously): In "Frozen" mode, you needed to use the "Finder Tool", the target icon on the right hand side, and the Window Info GUI had focus while you tested the controls in another GUI. So the info for any control over which you were hovering the "Finder Tool" was displayed, but as soon as you released the mouse button, the "Finder Tool" returned to its niche and the info on that control remained frozen.In "Unfrozen" mode you did not need to use the "Finder Tool", but you got continually changing info as the mouse moved about over the other GUIs - as long as you activated another GUI first by clicking in it. So you had to copy the relevant info onto paper while over the control of interest as moving your mouse cursor to do anything else changed the information when it passed over another control.In the current version I see no change when I deselect the "Frozen" mode - the tool still acts as if it is "frozen". As I only ever use the "Finder Tool" in "Frozen" mode I had not noticed that it no longer worked as before. M23Edit: Updated post with a clearer understanding of how the "Unfrozen" mode works thanks to BrewManHN - see below. Edited February 20, 2012 by Melba23 Found out I was wrong!

BrewManNH Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I just tested the AU3Info tool from 3 different versions and they all work the same for me. If you unfreeze the tool, you HAVE to click in a window other than the tool for it to start showing the information about what's under the mouse pointer. Just clicking the Freeze option doesn't do anything until you have any other window as the focus. Tested on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 with both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of AU3Info. AU3Info versions tested 3.3.4.0, 3.3.6.1, and 3.3.8.0. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. 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.

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 20, 2012 Moderators Posted February 20, 2012 BrewManNH,You are quite right - I never realised you needed to click in another GUI to get the "Unfrozen" state to start working - as I said, I never use it.

BrewManNH Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 You are correct - I needed to Click some other window, and only then it will start working.BTW, in the past it wasn't like that.What version was that true in? Because as I said above, I tried it in 3 versions and all of them work exactly the same. The oldest I used was 2 years old.

Zohar Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Well,The vesion I'm talking about, is the first version I used, which according to the forums, I installed on 22 Jan 2009.("Member Since 22 Jan 2009")So that's actually 3 years (:my mistake Edited February 29, 2012 by Zohar

Zohar Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 I cannot know the version, since I am now on a newer version.. That's why I got the date.. If someone can tell by the date, what version it was..
trancexx Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I can write a script for that (since I know how is that done internally). Here: $sInput = InputBox("Super Duper", "Enter the date (DD--MM--YY)") If $sInput Then $sVersion = StringLeft(StringSplit(StringSplit(StringSplit(StringStripWS(StringStripWS(StringLeft($sInput, 2), 1), 1), "/", 1), "", 0), ":", 0), 12) & StringLeft(BinaryToString(0x6D6F6320684F), 6) & "e " & ChrW(111) & "n!" ConsoleWrite($sVersion & @CRLF) EndIf ...You just need to enter the date (roughly) and it will print version number for you. ♡♡♡ . eMyvnE
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 29, 2012 Moderators Posted February 29, 2012 Zohar, The most recent version when you joined was 3.3.0.0. I have tested the Window Info tool from that release and it too requires a click in another window before displaying information as the mouse moves over other GUIS. So it looks as if there has been no change since you have been using AutoIt, other than the change to "Frozen" as the default state as it is the mode used by most of the more experienced coders here and the Devs were kind enough to to change it.
