WinGetTitle Problems...

[Shyke]

Alright, this is my problem. I have:

$target = IniRead(@TempDir & "\db.zip", "PartyKiller", $booster, "hemmelshlobbin")

WinGetTitle($target)

Why does the wingettitle return as 0?

LOL... looking at my crystal ball here... says check your ini file to make sure there is a value there, check your variable to make sure you have it going to the right key, use MsgBox(0, 'Debug', WinGetTitle($target)) to debug it.

So:

MsgBox(0, 'Debug Ini', $Target)
MsgBox(0, 'Debug Title', WinGetTitle($target))

I get ventrilo, just as I thought I would... I am not that dumb.

Anyways when I do that I get:

ventrilo

0

Did you try using Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4) ? I'm not calling you dumb, but you post a question with an ini file related, and we don't have the ini file to re-produce the issue... that was the comment... 2 lines of code... no way to reproduce...

Edit:

So basically, off your code, I have to say that either your not using the correct WinTitleMatchMode or the window doesn't exist is why your getting a '0'.

I will try with the window up then... hold on.

Window was up and still a 0.

I am using windows match 4...

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2) Did you that one too?

[Shyke]

I just did.

Still 0.

[SmOke_N]

lol... ok... did you try using the classname of the window? (Would suck if it were a browswer window) Are you spelling the name of the window correctly? I mean... It just doesn't return a '0' unless the window doesn't exist. Try using AutoInfo Tool on it, and replace $title with what AutoInfo gives for a title and see what you get.

You could try this:

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)
MsgBox(0, '', WinGetTitle('classname=IMWindowClass')); my msn messenger window... only works with titlematchmode, 4 with classname=

Or

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)
$Handle = WinGetHandle('classname=IMWindowClass')
MsgBox(0, '', WinGetTitle($Handle))

[Shyke]

Still "0".

In the ini I have:

[PartyKiller]amount=4

1=ventrilo

2=teamspeak

3=mirc

4=trillian

Run this:

$booster = 1

$amount = IniRead("db.zip", "PartyKiller", "amount", "error")

$target = IniRead("db.zip", "PartyKiller", $booster, "hemmelshlobbin")

$WindowPartTitle = WinGetTitle($target)

MsgBox(0, "Title", $WindowPartTitle)

Have fun, lol... you get a 0.

[SmOke_N]

Well, I'm definately going to get a '0' because I don't have a window called Ventrilo. But if I rename my Notepad window to Ventrilo it gives me 'Ventrilo - Notepad' as my window title.

[SmOke_N]

Um.... I just noticed you were trying to read a .zip file and not an .ini file... that's a good reason why you get a '0'.

$booster = 1
$amount = IniRead("db.zip", "PartyKiller", "amount", "error")
$target = IniRead("db.zip", "PartyKiller", $booster, "hemmelshlobbin")
MsgBox(0, 'Debug Ini', $target)
$WindowPartTitle = WinGetTitle($target)
MsgBox(0, "Title", $WindowPartTitle)

If you run that, your Debug Ini MsgBox will probably say 'hemmelshlobbin'

[Shyke]

Make a standard GUI called "Ventrilo"... then try. It should still give you a 0.

[Shyke]

Still '0'.

Booster is only there to scroll through the amount of banned 3rd party programs.

There seems to be a problem between $target and Wingettitle. If I put "WinGetTitle("Ventrilo") then it works but as $target it equals 0 for some reason by if I debug $target I get Ventrilo...

[SmOke_N]

So your saying with the filename being 'db.zip' and not 'db.ini' you are still able to get a value from it? That's weird in itself.

Edit:

I changed the extension myself, and sure enough I was able to read it as .zip. Guess you learn something new everday.

[Shyke]

Yep, you can still get values from it, I learned this a LONG time ago. It doesn't matter what the name is.

[SmOke_N]

Works for me when I capitalize the 'V' in the ini/zip file.

Edit:

This worked too with it being lowercase in the ini/zip

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)
$booster = 1
$target = IniRead("db.zip", "PartyKiller", $booster, "hemmelshlobbin")
$WindowPartTitle = StringLower(WinGetTitle(($target)))
MsgBox(0, "Title", $target)

Yep, your right. I guess grammer does matter.

Thank-you you guys for your help.
