AndreyS Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Hi, developers! How to make so that the function _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel is not activated window? This is impeding! Because my program should work in a non-activated state. And it is used in many other functions related to the RichEdit. I would be very grateful for any help!

AndreyS Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Really there is no simple solution? And in general, for some reason, so we wrote this function that it has activated the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 AndreyS, I have just run the code you posted at #3 above and at no time does the RichEdit GUI try to regain focus from another active window - the GUI just sits to one side adding lines every 5 seconds while I am busy activating and working in other windows - such as writing this post. So either I have misunderstood the problem you are having or you are doing something else in your script to reactivate the RichEdit GUI.

AndreyS Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thank you for your participation, Melba23, in my question! Once again I will try to explain my task. In my script, there is a code, which over time is constantly changing the text in the RichEdit. But in this case the program window should not be activated and should not fade as suggested above.

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 AndreyS, I do not understand your requirement: when I run the code the RichEdit GUI is neither activated nor does it "fade" - it just sits there in an inactive gradually filling with data.

AndreyS Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Sorry. Still do not know much English. In general, no matter what you need to do. The only question is whether you can disable the function _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel voluntarily activate a window. If it helps, I'll try again to explain my task. In the window of my program periodically automatically change the text (in RichEdit). But I work in parallel with other programs (such as Word). My program is not to be activated by yourself, but it can not minimize - it must always be visible and deployed. Well, just as in my example! It does not have it activated itself, if there is no focus on it and should not be minimized or hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 AndreyS, Quote the function _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel voluntarily activate a window No it does not - at least on my machine running the example at #3 above, Quote It does not have it activated itself, if there is no focus on it and should not be minimized or hidden Which is exactly what happens when I run the example at #3 above. So do I understand that you get different results? Are you running exactly the same code as in the example in post #3 above?

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) AutoBert, Interesting. I get the RichEdit GUI activating only for the first pass through the loop - if I make the Notepad GUI active after that point it remains active from then on and the RichEdit GUI continues to fill while remaining inactive. Looks like a Windows "feature" to me! M23 Edit: Curiouser and curiouser - initially making the RichEdit transparent does not work as it still appears the first time (and only the first time) text is appended once it is made visible. But this is not a good example as if the other GUI is maximized, there is no reason for the RichEdit GUI to ever appear. I will don my thinking cap and see what I can come up with after a good night's sleep and a round of golf.

AutoBert Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Yes it's not a bug it's a feature. This script works: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Example() Func Example() Local $hGui, $hRichEdit, $iMsg $hGui = GUICreate("Example (" & StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, 4) & ")", 320, 350, -1, -1) $hRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hGui, "This is a test.", 10, 10, 300, 220, _ BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL)) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) Local $iPID = Run("notepad.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED) WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10) _GUICtrlRichEdit_PauseRedraw($hRichEdit) For $i = 1 To 5 _GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText($hRichEdit, @CRLF & "This is appended text.") WinActivate("[CLASS:Notepad]") Next Sleep(1000) _GUICtrlRichEdit_ResumeRedraw($hRichEdit) WinWaitActive($hGui, "") MsgBox(0,'','') _GUICtrlRichEdit_Destroy($hRichEdit) EndFunc ;==>Example with only popup 1 time in the loop. On a Non Maximized Notepad and the Richedit-GUI not in front of Notepad it flickr 1 time. But in this case i also have no problems in your script from #3.

AndreyS Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Of course the exact same example! I copied it directly on the forum without changes. The problem is that if I transfer the focus to another program skpript returns the focus. And I need to prevent this from happening. Function _GUICtrlRichEdit_PauseRedraw () is not suitable, as it should be seen to add each new line. (( And activate the window Notepad is also impossible as it will be noticeable disappearance and appearance (twitching) script window. And if I do not have a small handling code, it will disappear even longer. Also used parallel program can not be Notepad, but more complicated. And returns the focus where it would have been much more problematic. In general you can not use a function here WinActivate (). Thank you for trying to help that!

AndreyS Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Colleagues, I probably found a less optimal solution. I just in file GuiRichEdit.au3, in function _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel (), remove the line: _WinAPI_SetFocus ($ HWnd) I did not understand why it is needed, but many functions work without no problem. If you find a better solution - will thank you. But I do not want to take away your precious time! Thank you for having responded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
