Can I check if two or more of a window class exist?


Recommended Posts

WinList and and look at the [0][0] element of the returned array to see how many windows match.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Sorry I should have been clearer, I need to compare the windows by class, not by title. 

WinList and and look at the [0][0] element of the returned array to see how many windows match.  Did you even look at the help file before posting that?

I would think that you could do this with WinList.

Then use a Advanced Window Description:

Advanced Window Descriptions

A special description can be used as the window title parameter. This description can be used to identify a window by the following properties:

  • TITLE - Window title
  • CLASS - The internal window classname
  • REGEXPTITLE - Window title using a regular expression (if the regular expression is wrong @error will be set to 2)
  • REGEXPCLASS - Window classname using a regular expression (if the regular expression is wrong @error will be set to 2)
  • LAST - Last window used in a previous Windows AutoIt Function (see Windows Management Functions)
  • ACTIVE - Currently active window
  • X \ Y \ W \ H - The position and size of a window
  • INSTANCE - The 1-based instance when all given properties match

One or more properties are used in the title parameter of a window command in the format:
