Problem with ControlSend

[konamer]

Hey Guys,

I have created a Script for Spotify which is almost working:

AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 0)

Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 800)

_mouseclickplus( "Spotify", "left", 30, 400, 1 )

Sleep(200)

_mouseclickplus( "Spotify", "left", 468, 120, 1 )

Sleep(300)

ControlClick("Spotify","","Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND4","left", 5, 253, 573)

Sleep(300)

_mouseclickplus( "Spotify", "left", 17, 40, 1 )

Sleep(300)

_mouseclickplus( "Spotify", "left", 17, 40, 1 )

Sleep(600)

ControlSend("Spotify", "", "", "{ENTER}")

; Function Name:  _MouseClickPlus()

; Version added:  0.1

; Description:    Sends a click to window, not entirely accurate, but works

;                 minimized.

; Parameter(s):   $Window     =  Title of the window to send click to

;                 $Button     =  "left" or "right" mouse button

;                 $X          =  X coordinate

;                 $Y          =  Y coordinate

;                 $Clicks     =  Number of clicks to send

; Remarks:        You MUST be in "MouseCoordMode" 0 to use this without bugs.

EndFunc   ;==>_MouseClickPlus

Return BitOR($HiWord * 0x10000, BitAND($LoWord, 0xFFFF))

EndFunc   ;==>_MakeLong

 

But the Controle Send /ControlSend("Spotify", "", "", "{ENTER}")/ is not working if spotify is minimized. When Spotify is on top the Script is working fine. 

Do you know whats the problem?

Try ControlFocus on the control you want to send on before ControlSend

I tried it but it`s still the same result. It only works when Spotify is on top.

[MikahS]

for the title param in ControlSend use the class instead of the title, you can find that with the AutoIt info tool, I have had problems using titles in applications such as teamviewer.

[konamer]

I tried this also. But its still not working. Is there any other command then ControlSend to do it?

[MikahS]

You can always try ControlClick (if you're clicking the enter button), but some controls will resist clicking unless they are the active window.

The Problem is that the Coordinates always change. ENTER is the only way to do what i want. With Windactive it works well. But i want to use the script when i am playing some games so Spotify cant be on top. 

[MikahS]

Yes, I know that is why I put the remark in my post (ControlClick doens't have to use x and y just FYI), otherwise that is really all I can think of, other than having a script that looks for a hotkey to open it and send it "enter" and then minimize it.

Good luck though and happy holidays!

Probably this can help you further if you search on google

Spotify has a process running called SpotifyWebHelper.exe on port 4380 which is normally used for the play buttons on Facebook and the embed players. Most people don't know this but there's a real API running on that port, Providing several functions that can be used in several types of responses including JSON and XML. They've added several methods to make sure that stuff only gets ran from the webbrowsers such as Origin and Referer headers checking and OAuth keys, but both are really easy to bypass. (you won't have to worry about this)
