Status Bar Text

[Arthur Jay]

I wrote the following program:

Global $x

MouseClick( "left", 155, 585)

Sleep(2000)

MouseMove( 80, 130)

Sleep(1000)

$x = StatusbarGetText("Internet Explorer address")

MsgBox(0, "String contents", $x)

Internet homepage is minimized before I run it. The MouseClick statement maximizes it, and the MouseMove statement moves the cursor so that the address appears in item 1 of the Status Bar Text list in AU3Info, which is open. However, the string is blank when I write to the MsgBox. Where did I go wrong?

maybe?

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

add it to the top of your script and give it a try

OK, it works. Now can you tell me why? Is this something I have to do each time I get some text like this? And does the string in that code change with sircumstances?

It depends how exact you define your Window title.

Default is "Starting with" matching ... with this option set matching changes to "anywhere in the title" ...
