Counting

[itauto3]

My counter counts from 0 on, if it finds any Notepad window opened, but it counts double (if 2 windows are opened), triple (if 3 windows are opened)..., instead of 1, 2, 3... Any suggestion? 

#include <Array.au3>

$count = 0

While 1
$aWindows = WinList(("[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)(.*Notepad.*)]"))

For $i=1 To $aWindows[0][0]

   $iWndState =  WinGetState($aWindows[$i][1])
   $count += 1

   ToolTip("count = " & $count, 0, 0, "state = " & $iWndState)

Next
   Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Not sure what you want differently from what you have.

Is this a language barrier?

Nice name.

I want to count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

[itauto3]

This works:

$count += (1/$aWindows[0][0])

What if I want to reset count, whenever new window (Notepad) opens?

[Subz]

Technically you're only ever seeing the last item in the array and you're counting how many times you loop not the number of Windows example if you use the following you'll see the state for each window.

For $i = 1 To $aWindows[0][0]
    $iWndState =  WinGetState($aWindows[$i][1])
    $count += 1
    ToolTip("count = " & $count, 0, 0, "state = " & $iWndState)
    Sleep(1000)
Next

You can check to see if a new notepad window using something like the following:

#include <Array.au3>

Global $aWindows, $iWndState, $iWinCount = 0

While 1
    $aWindows = WinList(("[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)(.*Notepad.*)]"))
    If $iWinCount <> $aWindows[0][0] Then
        $iWinCount = $aWindows[0][0]
        For $i = 1 To $aWindows[0][0]
            $iWndState =  WinGetState($aWindows[$i][1])
            ToolTip("count = " & $i, 0, 0, "state = " & $iWndState)
            Sleep(1000)
        Next
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

            Sleep(1000)
        Next
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

 

With this code, count is always 1.

[Subz]

It works fine for me although it would always keep the last Tooltip if all Notepad windows are closed since $i starts at 1 not 0.  You would just need to add an "if" statement as follows.  If no windows are found it will return count = 0 and state = -, if you open multiple notepad instances it will display the last window state in the loop.

Global $aWindows, $iWndState, $iWinCount = 999

While 1
    $aWindows = WinList(("[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)(.*Notepad.*)]"))
    If $iWinCount <> $aWindows[0][0] Then
        $iWinCount = $aWindows[0][0]
        If $iWinCount = 0 Then ContinueLoop ToolTip("count = 0", 0, 0, "state = -")
        For $i = 1 To $aWindows[0][0]
            $iWndState =  WinGetState($aWindows[$i][1])
            ToolTip("count = " & $i, 0, 0, "state = " & $iWndState)
            Sleep(1000)
        Next
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

With your code "count" is always 1 if one window, if two it count just 1, 2, if three it counts just 1, 2, 3.

[Subz]

Are you using the code as posted?  How many notepad instances are opened?  What do you expect the count to be?

[itauto3]

I want the count to normally count, like a clock, 1, 2, 3... But, when new Notepad window opens, it should start from 0 and again count like a clock, to n.

[Subz]

Whats the point of the For/Next loop as the $iWndState will always be for the last window in the loop?

I think this is what you're after.

Global $aWindows, $iWndState, $iWinCount = 999, $iCount

While 1
    $aWindows = WinList(("[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)(.*Notepad.*)]"))
    If $iWinCount <> $aWindows[0][0] Then
        $iCount = 0
        $iWinCount = $aWindows[0][0]
        Switch $iWinCount
            Case 0
                $iWndState = "-"
            Case Else
                $iWndState =  WinGetState($aWindows[$aWindows[0][0]][1])
        EndSwitch
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
    ToolTip("count = " & $iCount, 0, 0, "state = " & $iWndState)
    $iCount += 1
WEnd

 

[TheSaint]

$count = 0
$result = 0
.
.
.
.
$result = $result & ", " & $count += 1

Is that maybe what you are after?

That should give you - 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.

If you don't want 0, just trim it or adjust the code with an ElseIf.

The state of the window is always 15?

[Subz]

You seem to want to be spoon fed the answer, it would only take a couple of changes to that code to get what you want, hint make the if statement one line to equal $iCount and remove the EndIf.

Do I have to replace existing if statement or add a new one?

Not working, just for one window opened.

[itauto3]

Can someone help me with this? Window state should be changing - the best would be, if it would track the state of active window (that is currently in front of others - among all Notepad windows).
