bshoenhair Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I have just started using the GUI capabilities of AutoIt. I want to display the active windows Title and the control with the focus in the active window. I wrote the script below, seems to work ok but in between the update after the sleep func it flashes the title of a different window quickly then back to active window. Seems to work fine when I first start it but after activating different windows this annoyance begins. Also I am unable to close the GUI. Can someone show me a better way to accomplish this ? $WS_SYSMENU = 0x00080000 $WS_CAPTION = 0x00C00000 $WS_EX_TOPMOST = 0x00000008 $AppTitle = "Active Window Information" GUICreate($AppTitle,400,75,500,10,$WS_SYSMENU + $WS_CAPTION,$WS_EX_TOPMOST) While GUIShow() $Data = WinGetTitle("") & "|" & ControlGetFocus(WinGetTitle("")) $list = GUISetControl("list","",1,1,498,73) GUISetControlData($list,$Data) Sleep(1000) Wend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bshoenhair Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 I am hoping someone will show me a better way ? How come I can't close the GUI with the top right close button ? Help Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 The close button produces a GuiMsg notification instead of closing the window. You need to do something like the following: While 1 sleep(100);do not max-out the CPU $msg = GuiMsg(0) ;Add more Case statements as needed Select Case $msg = -3;user clicked the top-right 'x' button ExitLoop EndSelect WEnd Here's shorter way for your specific example: While GuiMsg(0) <> -3 ;do your stuff WEnd Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!
