folder open close script doesn't worked

[Guest bhurtel]

For $i = 1 To 2

Run('explorer ' & @WindowsDir & '\Fonts')

Sleep(20000)

WinClose('Fonts')

Next

this is my script to open font folder for abt 20 sec and after then close the windows....

but the script can only open the folder but can close the folder

instead it restores my current displayed font windows.

i.e (it restores my maximized font folder and make it half (just as we click restore button)

The title is case sensitive. My window opened with uppercase "FONTS". Try WinClose('FONTS'). Works for me.

Or take a look at option WinTitleMatchMode.

in this case just use for instance:

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
For $i = 1 To 2
Run('explorer ' & @WindowsDir & '\Fonts')
Sleep(20000)
WinClose('Fonts')
Next

So long...

Holger: Actually that still fails for me. It demands the WinClose to have uppercase "FONTS".

I didn't have the same problem when running mine. However, you could also just do this:

Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

For $i = 1 To 2
   Run ("explorer.exe " & @WindowsDir & "\Fonts")
   Sleep(2000)
   WinClose (@WindowsDir)
Next

Heh, that wouldn't work for me AT ALL, since the ONLY thing in the title bar of the explorer window that opens for me is "FONTS".

*Edit: Although it's odd... if I use explorer to open the folder (like in the script example) the title of the window is all uppercasts (FONTS) if I open the folder from the Run dialog by just typing the path, the title is all lowercase (fonts).

ex:

Start > Run: "c:\windows\fonts\" > Window with "fonts" for title.

Start > Run: "explorer c:\windows\fonts" > Window with "FONTS" for title.

Welcome to the forums!

Does your code work correctly if you remove or temporarily disable the For..Next loop? --

Run('explorer ' & @WindowsDir & '\Fonts')
Sleep(20000)
WinClose('Fonts')

I certainly do recognize that code . I think Holger may have the solution.
