KDoc Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi, I notice that Autoit doesn't reliably switch windows which in terms messes up the entire program because the correct window is not in focus. This is the code I have Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2) WinActivate("CUSTOMERS") The title of the window I want to activate for example is 'Foundation Production - CUSTOMERS -- LARRY SMITH'. It will switch most of the time but sometimes it simply doesn't do that . I was curious what to do to make it 100% reliable. Is there any way to notice the window is active before executing a certain portion of the program? Thanks much, K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If you're using Send and MouseClick on the active window you should probably use ControlSend and ControlClick instead. Send is very unreliable as it never checks to see if the window you want is the active one, it just sends characters to whatever is active at the time, same with MouseClick. 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.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
