magician13134 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hmmm... I can't find the "Edit" button... Is something wrong, or am I just that dumb? How do I use the name "button"? Like... if I were to get the position of the start button... how would I do that using "button"? And where does that AutoIt Window Info tool live?

Moderators SmOke_N Posted November 26, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2006 Funny, I was able to pull the info:Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4) ControlClick('classname=Shell_TrayWnd', 'start', 'Button1') Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think that worked... it returned a 0... which means it failed...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted November 26, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2006 That gives me an error... Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) $size = WinGetPos("classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "start", "Button1") MsgBox(0, "Active window stats (x,y,width,height):", $size[0] & " " & $size[1] & " " & $size[2] & " " & $size[3]) What exactly does your code do... it didn't do anything...2 problems with your code... 1. Did you bother to check the parameters of WinGetPos? (Maybe ControlGetPos())? 2. You don't error check to make sure it's an array. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

You don't error check to make sure it's an array.Yeah... I saw that, that's why I deleted it... I never tried to use an array in your code...Oh, and ControlGetPos still returns 0 Edited November 26, 2006 by magician13134 Visit Magic Soft Inc. for some of my software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted November 26, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Are you trying to do the Start button on your system tray? Try this... I don't know what yours is called, but mine is called button1$SC = _GetScreenCoords() If IsArray($SC) Then MouseClick('primary', Random($SC[0], $SC[2], 1), Random($SC[1], $SC[3], 1), 1, 1) Func _GetScreenCoords($sText = "classname=Shell_TrayWnd") $OptWTMM = Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) $aCPos = ControlGetPos($sText, "", "Button1") $aWPos = WinGetPos($sText) If Not IsArray($aCPos) Or Not IsArray($aWPos) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) Local $aReturn[4] = [$aWPos[0] + $aCPos[0], $aWPos[1] + $aCPos[1] + 4, _ $aCPos[2] - 4, $aWPos[1] + $aCPos[1] + 4 + $aCPos[3]] Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', $OptWTMM) Return $aReturn EndFunc I really have no idea what you are trying to do, but the above will return screen coordinates for the start button in your system tray (at least if my math is right it will).
