Serg2000mr Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hi there! II can't find how to change the order of tabs in the taskbar. The only thing I did was hide the tabs and show them in the right order. But they are added already to the right of other tabs. I even can't get list of open tabs. AutoItSetOption("WinSearchChildren", 1) Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]") Local $hTask = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:MSTaskSwWClass]") Local $hTaskList = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:MSTaskListWClass]") Local $ButtonCount = _SendMessage($hTask, $TB_BUTTONCOUNT, 0 ,0) // return 0 Local $ButtonCount2 = _SendMessage($hTaskList, $TB_BUTTONCOUNT, 0 ,0) // return 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 First MSTaskListWClass is a control not a window. Second all toolbar messages will not work with this task bar. Windows does not want that anyone can easily interact with it because of possible hacks. This being said, it is possible to manipulate the bar with UIAutomation (search forum for more information). “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serg2000mr Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Do you mean that I need to recognize all the pictures of the buttons on the taskbar, find the application I need by the icon and text and simulate dragging the tab with the mouse?

Nine Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 No. Did you read the last part of my response ? You can use UIAutomation, to get informations (name, size, location, click point, etc) about each buttons and then decide what is best for you. “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know where to look for information about it. All I found in an hour of googling and reading of the AutoIt forum is that it is designed to automate tests through emulation of user behavior. What collection contains these buttons?

Serg2000mr Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 I've been working on this task for 10 days now. Installed Windows XP and Windows 7, Visual Studio 2003 and .Net 1.1 to see those rare examples that are on the Internet. Can someone help me?

It is a way to manipulate new UI design. There is multiple examples provided. Start with one of them, put something together, then we will gladly help you. “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I was right. You cannot change the order of tabs in the taskbar, you need to get the coordinates of the desired tab with _UIA_ElementGetBoundingRectangle() and use MouseClickDrag() to emulate mouse movement.

Nine Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Well, you were wrong regarding the recognition (image search) of the pictures of the buttons. I never said that you could move tabs with UIAutomation, I just said that you could gather informations to perform the task without relying to pixel. “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
