MrBeatnik Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hello all, thanks for the help I've been getting so far.I've got another small problem.XP SP2, AutoIt v3 latest (not beta, but beta available).I'm using ControlSendPlus to send commands to a particular CMD shell window.WinWait is used to look for the title of the window (Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3) set).Everything is great, and works fine when the CMD window is displayed on the screen.However, when I set the WinState of this CMD box to HIDE, then there seems to be problems sending the commands to the window, or waiting on the WinWait - I'm not sure which part it's having an issue with just now. I am aware that controlsend has issues when dealing with command windows (well, at least that's what I keep reading), so I wonder if this is one of those problems?Does anyone know if this is a limitation, or if a workaround exists to ensure controlsends/winwaits "work" with Hidden Window states? For example, I was working with WinWaitActive for a little while, but obviousuly that is irrelevant to HIDDEN windows, where they would never be active, so that is an obvious limitation there... I guess!Thanks! Please correct me if I am wrong in any of my posts. I like learning from my mistakes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeatnik Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 instead of hidden, is off screen ok? move the window.Lar.Hehe, now that would work!Thanks! Time for a time-out from this code I think.... that was too easy an answer for ya Thanks for the quick reply too!Just for academic purposes, I presume that is a known limitation then? No sends (or is it winwaits) on hidden windows? Please correct me if I am wrong in any of my posts. I like learning from my mistakes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
