WinGetPos() returns the wrong width/height but Windows Info returns the correct width/height

[WoodGrain]

Hi All,

I'm running the following, but the width and height are wrong, am I doing something wrong?

$xy = WinGetPos($myTitle, "")
$posX = $xy[0]
$posY = $xy[1]
$sizeW = $xy[2]
$sizeH = $xy[3]

Window Info program is returning w:301 x h:1017 which is correct.

WinGetPos() is returning w:92 x h:18, which is completely wrong.

This problem is only happening on 1 program, WinGetPos() is returning correct information for the other programs...

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

and what's the name of this special progrgram? Are you sure you are getting results for the correct window?

[WoodGrain]

Hi,

I'm using
$myTitle = "UC-One"

It's a soft phone, I'm 100% sure I'm referencing the correct program, I've used the Window Info tool to get the title.

Thanks.

And you are sure there's only one window with this title? Test with Winlist if there's another (hidden?) window.

Hi,

I've confirmed with WinList() that this is the only window with this title.

Thanks.

waiwei,

Your problem is NOT similar. Please do not hijack other threads when you already have one running.

Any other ideas what could be causing this problem with AutoIT's WinGetPos()?

Have you tried to replace $myTitle in WinGetPos with the window handle as shown by the AutoIt Window Info tool? Or have you tried to check which handle is returned by WinGetHandle( $myTitle, "" )? Does this handle match the handle as shown by the AutoIt Window Info tool?

The problem is probably that this UC-One soft phone is not created with standard MicroSoft windows/controls. It can be made with any development tool for example Java. This means that many of the Win-functions are not able to produce the proper results.

You can try to examine the UC-One application with the "Simple spy tool" in the UI Automation framework or with Inspect.exe from Windows SDK.

did you look at Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client
