Internet Explorer WinSetOnTop


Recommended Posts

Hello all, first post here...

I'm having some trouble with Internet Explorer and the WinSetOnTop function.

It just doesn't work.

Quicky Information: The script is supposed to move a window to the top of the screen, and 820px from the right side, then set the window to AlwaysOnTop, so it can lose focus, but remain in view.

Here is the script. Testing against IE 10

AutoItSetOption ( "WinTitleMatchMode" , 2 )

Global $xPos = @DesktopWidth - 820
Global $yPos = 0

WinWait ( "" , "TESTING" )
WinSetOnTop ( "", "TESTING", 1 )
WinMove ( "", "TESTING", $xPos, $yPos)

I have tested in other browsers, and every other browser works just fine.

It works fine for me on Windows 7 with IE10, must be something on your end, or you're using Windows 8 which I can't test.

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.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

For testing purposes try using HotKeySet to assign a hotkey to your function and press the hotkey when IE is active. Just use "[ACTIVE]" as the window title. That should at least determine if it's ever going to work.

After your set up code and before your function,

While 1

Wend

should be good enough to keep your test running in the tray so you can hotkey.
