WinActivate doesn't activate dfrg.msc window!

[Olish]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to activate the dfrg.msc window with WinActivate() or WinWaitActive and its title "Défragmenteur de disque". It works for the other windows but NOT for dfrg.msc window. Did someone incountered this problem?

Thank you in advance for helping me.

i wrote *XPClean Menu* ( in my signature below)

and after careful thought, i realized that NOTHING should be open if you are going to use the defragmenter... not evn *XPClean Menu*,

so it closes when the defrag window appears

if you think of the defragments utility, you will agree

I find how to activate the dfrg.msc window. It was just the syntax tha was incorrect.

Before: WinActivate("Défragmenteur")

After: "WinActivate("Défragmenteur", "")

Thank you.

got it

$Title = "Disk Defragmenter"; "MMCMainFrame"


$PID = Run("mmc Dfrg.msc", @SystemDir)
sleep(3000)

; click other window to put on top for testing 

ControlClick( $Title, "", "msctls_statusbar321")

I don't think the explanation was right WinActivate("title") and WinActivate("title","") do the same.

The problem can come from the fact you nedd to wait that the windows exist before activating it if needed.

$Title = "Défragmenteur de disque"; "MMCMainFrame"


$PID = Run("mmc Dfrg.msc", @SystemDir)
WinWait($Title)
$n=WinActivate($Title)
MsgBox(262144,'Debug line ~42','Selection:' & @lf & '$n' & @lf & @lf & 'Return:' & @lf & $n & @lf & @lf & '@Error:' & @lf & @Error);### Debug MSGBOX

try this code Thanks
