How to properly focus windows

[Fl4m3Ph03n1x]

Hey guys, I have another newb question. So far, the only way I know of focusing a window is by using it's title. So if I have a window named "ABCD" and then I want to focus a window called "AD" I have a problem, because substring "AD" is contained within "ABCD".

To fix this I tried using the command:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)

API for this command can be seen here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/AutoItSetOption.htm However, I still get the same problem. If I focus "ABCD" first, I can't focus "AD" after. Here is my script so far:

;Alters the method used to search window titles. For more info see also:
;http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/AutoItSetOption.htm
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)

; Prompt the user to run the script - use a Yes/No prompt (4 - see help file)
Local $answer = MsgBox(4, "Looper tester", "This script will run an infinite loop for a test.  Run?")

; Check the user's answer to the prompt (see the help file for MsgBox return values)
; If "No" was clicked (7) then exit the script
If $answer = 7 Then
    MsgBox(0, "AutoIt", "OK.  Bye!")
    Exit
EndIf

Local $launcherName = "ABCD"
Local $appExeName = "AD"

; Run Launcher
ShellExecute("somePath")

; Wait for the launcher to become active
WinWaitActive($launcherName)
MouseMove ( 900, 600)
MouseClick ( "left")

WinWaitActive($appExeName)
WinActivate($appExeName)
MouseMove ( 900, 600)
MouseClick ( "left")

;Loop stuff
; Finished!

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I focus $exeExeName? Thanks in advance!

I hope it is clear that this question is about substrings and window focus. This is within the user agreement and forum rules.

Fl4m3Ph03n1x,

When you argued about the locking of your other thread, I specifically told you:

"I strongly suggest that you do not begin any further threads about automating any game or its servers - or indeed any other subject which is prohibited by the Forum rules"

Those Forum rules state quite clearly:

"Do not create a new topic on a subject if a previous topic on that subject was locked"

As you seem not to have read the rules very carefully, I am giving you a few days posting holiday to properly examine them so that you will not infringe them in future. And a word to the wise - do not argue about it as you have already tried my patience enough today.
