tac Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Hello, new to AutoIt. As far as I can tell, there is no direct way to activate a child window. The following function will correctly activate the child window, however, the child window text needs to be an exact match.WinTitleMatchMode does not seem to apply or help in this case.Thanks for any help!#include <WinAPI.au3> Func ChildActivate($appTitle, $formName) AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) $hWnd = WinGetHandle($appTitle, $formName) $array = WinList($appTitle) WinActive($hWnd) $winarray = _WinAPI_EnumWindows(True, $hWnd) For $i = 1 to $winarray[0][0] $title = _WinAPI_GetWindowText($winarray[$i][0]) If ($title == $formName) or ($title == $formName & " *") Then _WinAPI_ShowWindow($winarray[$i][0], @SW_MAXIMIZE) _WinAPI_ShowWindow($winarray[$i][0], @SW_SHOWNORMAL) EndIf Next EndFuncEDIT for clarification: WinTitleMatchMode will only apply to the Main Window in: ChildActivate("Main Window", "Child Window") Edited February 12, 2013 by tac
FireFox Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Hi, What about this? Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) Edited February 12, 2013 by FireFox
tac Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Hi, What about this? Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) I have tried all of the match modes, but they only apply to the Main window. The Child Window always needs to be an exact match. ChildActivate("Main Window", "Child Window") Edited February 12, 2013 by tac
BrewManNH Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Are you looking for a partial match or a case insensitive match?

tac Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Are you looking for a partial match or a case insensitive match?Case Sensitive is OK. I am really looking for something similar to MatchMode 1 since the end of the text in the child window is always changing. Edited February 12, 2013 by tac
BrewManNH Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 StringInStr perhaps instead of trying to match it with a $title = $formname? Something like this? If StringInStr($title, $formname) Then ... If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

If StringInStr($title, $formname) Then ... I understand your approach but may need help on implementation of this method. I have never done any coding before AutoIt. This does not seem to work. #include <WinAPI.au3> Func ChildActivate($appTitle, $formName) AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) $hWnd = WinGetHandle($appTitle, $formName) $array = WinList($appTitle) WinActive($hWnd) $winarray = _WinAPI_EnumWindows(True, $hWnd) For $i = 1 to $winarray[0][0] $title = _WinAPI_GetWindowText($winarray[$i][0]) If StringInStr($appTitle, $formName) Then _WinAPI_ShowWindow($winarray[$i][0], @SW_MAXIMIZE) _WinAPI_ShowWindow($winarray[$i][0], @SW_SHOWNORMAL) EndIf Next EndFunc Edited February 12, 2013 by tac
BrewManNH Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 You're using $appTitle in the StringInStr function, yet previously you were using $title, is that intended?

I said I would need help on implementation This works perfect now.
