AutoIt get Window focus

[Blueing]

Hi,

im new to AutoIt and writing my first script - I want to click some buttons in a programm but it needs to get in the foreground/focus before.

Im trying this since 2 hours, experimenting with WinActive, WinActivate, using [REGEXPCLASS:HwndWrapper.*] but couldnt get it work for me. The problem for me is all this functions require a title, but my program doesnt have one, just a class which is "HwndWrapper[svchost.exe;;0a3fe4dd-408b-43f0-949f-92765f609024]".

Can anyone help me how i can acces the program to bring it in focus/foreground?

Thanks and greetz,

Maybe WinGetTitle then use the title for winactivate.

Does this work for you? Be sure to place your Class ID where I said below.

_ActiveWindow()


Func _ActiveWindow()
    $hWnd1 = WinGetHandle("[CLASS: PUT CLASS ID HERE ]")
    If IsHWnd($hWnd1) Then
        WinActivate($hWnd1)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_ActiveWindow

WinGetTitle results in NULL (is NULL existing in AutoIt?) or in simply no value; Its an exe without title.

Sadly its not, I think because I cant really acces the class of it, as its changing everytime I restart the programm. Got here two screens from different startups, as you can see no title and changing classes:

I tried it with regular expressions "WinActivate("[REGEXPCLASS:(?i)HwndWrapper[svchost.exe;;.*7285bba9-8e46-4420-a43f-5a157005c8b4]]")" but still couldnt get it to work. The "Window Active/Activate by Exe ; Author - SmOke_N" isnt working for me as there are alot of svchost.exe on the machine running, but just one which I want to access or has a GUI in general.

Thanks for the answers!

I found a little Workaround as im just using the position and size of the window now (WinActivate("[X:578\Y:470\W:764\H:100]") - AND IT WORKS! im happy af now, because something works for me now

But with this comes the next problem; now the window has the same size and position, but I it will change as it gets more data. And yeah, with all the problems before, I cant access the new x/y width and height without a title or right class..

Is there a option (may from the OS or a extern program) which opens a program everytime in the SAME size and on the same position?

Greetz again!

You could add a bit to your script to save to ini for example, the current size of the window for the next time.

Then the script reads the ini values of the window, the last time it ran, and it detects it everytime.
