Retrieve window names as they become active

[stever3901]

I am trying to write an install script. I have had great success so far using the WinWaitActive function with other programs. However, one program I am trying to script does not seem to name the windows with what is visible. All the windows show Ram Connection 3.0 as their label. Is there a way to write a script that will report back the current open window to the debugger so I can get the list of actual window names for my script?

This is what I am trying to do.

Run("I:\\ENGIN\\Ram Connection 3.0\\RAMConnection\\SetupRC30eng.exe" )

WinWaitActive("Ram Connection 3.0")

Send("{ENTER}")

Thanks

Steve

Look at the command winlist() anything active it will report back.

e.g:

for $i = 1 to winlist[0][0]

msgbox(0,"",winlist[1][0])

next

I think thats it. Something to that effect.

I feel like the newbie I am! I didn't know what the AutoIT Window Info was for... Here is what it says. I have tried to refer to the RAM Connection 3.0 window but it doesn't seem to trigger.

Thoughts?

Use the CLASSNAME of the window. It must be different each time.

Use the Opt("WinTitleMatchmode",4) - for exact window classes

Then type WinWaitActive("classname=<Whatever your CLASSNAME is called>","")

So based on my previous Window info listing I tried this:

Run("I:\\ENGIN\\Ram Connection 3.0\\RAMConnection\\SetupRC30eng.exe" )

Opt("WinTitleMatchmode",4)

WinWaitActive("327701","")

Send("{ENTER}")

Which does not seem to work. I notice that when I highlight different areas of the window, I get different classes. Which part of the window do I need the class from? When I highlight the title bar of the first 3 windows of the installation I get the same thing

It worked!

So let me try to understand what this did.

Adding the text on the window compensated for the fact that all of the window titles were the same.

So Window Title + Window Text = unique window to reference

Is that correct?

WinWait("RAM Connection 3.0","Welcome to RAM Connection")

If Not WinActive("RAM Connection 3.0","Welcome to RAM Connection") Then

WinActivate("RAM Connection 3.0","Welcome to RAM Connection")

EndIf

WinWaitActive("RAM Connection 3.0","Welcome to RAM Connection")

ControlClick("RAM Connection 3.0","Welcome to RAM Connection","&Next >")
