tim167 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) I have set AutoItSetOption('WinTitleMatchMode', 2) to match a substring in the window title then I try do look for an open Kladblok (=Notepad) window using: AutoItSetOption('WinTitleMatchMode', 2) Auto.WinWait('Kladblok') I also tried : Auto.WinWaitActive('Kladblok') Auto.WinWait('', 'Kladblok') Auto.WinWait('Kladblok') but it always fails... the actual title of the window is something like : 'outF5.tmp - Kladblok' where 'out' and '.tmp - Kladblok' are constant, the 'F5' can vary every time. btw: I'm controlling AutoitX3 from python via win32com.client. How can I effectively capture this beast? thanks! Tim Edited December 28, 2005 by tim167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim167 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 i also tried window matching mode 4 and using 'classname=Notepad' no luck either... here's the what the Autoit info window says about the Kladblok window: >>>>>>>>>>>> Window Details <<<<<<<<<<<<< Title: outE4.tmp - Kladblok Class: Notepad Size: X: 16 Y: 23 W: 828 H: 349 >>>>>>>>>>> Mouse Details <<<<<<<<<<< Screen: X: 251 Y: 230 Cursor ID: 5 >>>>>>>>>>> Pixel Color Under Mouse <<<<<<<<<<< RGB: Hex: 0xFFFFFF Dec: 16777215 >>>>>>>>>>> Control Under Mouse <<<<<<<<<<< Size: X: 0 Y: 0 W: 820 H: 301 Control ID: 15 ClassNameNN: Edit1 Text: >>>>>>>>>>> Status Bar Text <<<<<<<<<<< (1): (2): Ln 1, Col 14 >>>>>>>>>>> Visible Window Text <<<<<<<<<<< *** ready *** >>>>>>>>>>> Hidden Window Text <<<<<<<<<<< Need help!!

Moderators SmOke_N Posted December 28, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2005 This may seem like a silly question... But your using Auto.WinWait(), just to clarify, your trying to use the AutoItX3.dll with another language? If so, did you open it before you did your calls, this I've found to be a common mistake? If not, then you don't need the Auto.WinWait(), you only need WinWait(). Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim167 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Hi, Thanks for your reply, 'your trying to use the AutoItX3.dll with another language?' Yes I use Auto.WinWait(.... ..sorry I thought I already said that, I'm driving AutoIt from Python. I solved it finally, it cost me 2 hours...and I'm still not shure what was wrong. I also restarted my computer, because I thought maybe there was something running in the background that interfered with my program...just a wild guess... Finally this worked for me: Auto.AutoItSetOption('WinTitleMatchMode', 2) wworesult=Auto.WinWait('tmp') if not wworesult: print 'resultwin not open' Auto.WinClose('tmp') Auto.WinWaitClose('tmp') 'tmp' is a constant element in the middle of the window title. If i remember correctly I also tried to match 'Kladblok' with the same AutoItSetOption setting, but couldn't get it to work. Is it possible that with ('WinTitleMatchMode', 2) WinWait reacts only when the match is a substring somewhere in the middle and so doesn't work when the match is at the end or the beginning? anyway my little script works so I'm happy Edited December 28, 2005 by tim167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted December 28, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2005 Now: Auto.AutoItSetOption('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)Before: AutoItSetOption('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)Admittingly, I've never played with the .dll. I'm happy you got it to work for you because I would have not known that. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
