Controlsend

[ljkkda]

i have a ittle question

i use controlsend

$window = WinGetTitle("")

ControlSend($window, "", "Edit1", "WTF WASN SCHMODDER""{ENTER}", 0)

it sends the text only if the window is maximized but not if the window is minimized why?

[Jos]

Have you checked what the value of $window is in that case ?

[ljkkda]

yes its the right value

if i use this..

$window = WinGetTitle("")

ControlSetText ( $window, "" , "Edit1", "funzt oda net?" )

it set the text to that control if minimized or not...!!! but so it can´t send enter...

What JedB is getting at, I believe, is ...you're not telling the program WHAT SPECIFIC WINDOW you're trying to get the title from.

WinGetTitle("") Returns the active window title (but unreliably). Don't be so general.

A better way to write this would be

$hwnd_window = WinGetHandle("Untitled - Notepad") ; notice the I tell the program EXACTLY what window I'm going to fool with?
 ControlSend( $hwnd_window, "" , "Edit1", "funzt oda net?" )

[Jos]

WinGetTitle("") will get the title of the Window which has the focus. Just wanted to confirm that the minimised window title was found...

I don't know why ControlSend wouldn't work and ControlSetTExt() would..

now i use this.

$window = WinGetTitle("")

$hwnd_window = WinGetHandle( $window ) ; notice the I tell the program EXACTLY what window I'm going to fool with?

MsgBox ( 0, "blablabla", $hwnd_window )

sleep(6000)

ControlSend( $hwnd_window, "" , "Edit1", "funzt oda net? {ENTER}", 0 )

but it send only if the window is active again... what can i do my brain hurts^^

It works fine with Notepad so cannot replicate your problem ....

[BigDod]

This works for me

Run("notepad")
WinWait("Untitled")
WinSetState("Untitled -", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
$window = WinGetTitle("Untitled - Notepad")
$window = WinGetHandle( $window )
ControlSend( $window, "" , "Edit1", "funzt oda net? {ENTER}")

Note - this type of thing will not work with Microsoft Word if it is minimised.

i want use this on InternetExplorer

$window = WinGetTitle("")

ControlSetText ( $window, "" , "Edit1", "funzt oda net?" )

why is ControlSetText working..

$window = WinGetTitle("")

ControlSend($window, "", "Edit1", "WTF WASN SCHMODDER""{ENTER}", 0)

and why is ControlSend not working.. i dont know! Edited March 25, 2006 by ljkkda

[ljkkda]

or ist there any other way to send ENTER to a control (without controlsend )

when the window is minimized?

You have a quote in that ControlSend that gets sent, I don't know if that makes a difference:

$window = WinGetTitle("")
ControlSend($window, "", "Edit1", "WTF WASN SCHMODDER {ENTER}")

Not that I understood any of that... But are you trying to send this to a broswer window?

[ljkkda]

yes im trying to send in a broswer window (but has a java icon so its a java window?)

i have upload a .jpg file...

i want send to the window with java icon

Dont foget this:

This works but cant send ENTER

ControlSetText ( $window, "" , "Edit1", "funzt oda net?" )

This works only if window is maximized NOT IF MINIMIZED

ControlSend($window, "", "Edit1", "WTF WASN SCHMODDER {ENTER}", 0)
