MS Edge and WinWaitActive

[Marc123]

HI,

 

i am quite a noob in AutoIT, just using small simple scripts here an there.

I recently changed to Windows 10, using MS Edge instead of Chrome right now.

So i want to change a Script that used Chrome to Edge, solved the starting issues with Edge with the help of this forum but now i am stuck using WinWait or WinWaitActive...

This is what i do:

ConsoleWrite("Login" & @CRLF)

   ; Edge starten
   Local $edge = RunWait('explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge')

ConsoleWrite("1" & @CRLF)

   WinWaitActive("Start ?- Microsoft Edge")

ConsoleWrite("2" & @CRLF)

   WinSetState ("Start ?- Microsoft Edge", "",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

ConsoleWrite("3" & @CRLF)

Result: Edge pops up, but i can not get the WinWaitActive to recognize it running ?

I used ( as i did many times before ) the AutoIT Window Info tool and copied the Window Title to the script, but somehow it gets stuck with Console-Code "1" ?

Is there anything different in Win10 with recognizing open Windows ? I can not find anything related on the forum yet..but maybe i search the wrong keywords

 

Can someone please help me here with a simple solution ?

not sure if this falls in your category of simple solution.

but in examples you can go to iuiautomation thread and try simplespy.

returns

Mouse position is retrieved 1241-58
At least we have an element [Microsoft Edge][Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow]

Having the following values for all properties: 
Title is: <Microsoft Edge>  Class   := <Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow> controltype:= <UIA_WindowControlTypeId> ,<50032>    , (0000C370)    952;53;1200;932

I tried with the au3inf tools but seems not to recognize edge browser

This works for me:

ConsoleWrite("Login" & @CRLF)

; Edge starten
Local $edge = RunWait('explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge')

ConsoleWrite("1" & @CRLF)

;~    WinWaitActive("Start ?- Microsoft Edge")
$handle = WinWaitActive("Start")

ConsoleWrite("2" & @CRLF)
beep(1000,100)

WinSetState($handle, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

ConsoleWrite("3" & @CRLF)
Sleep(1000)
WinSetState($handle, "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
MsgBox(64+262144, Default, "Edge is minimized",0)
WinSetState($handle, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
