Not an Array Problem

[wolfbartels]

Hi,

there is a very strange behavior with 'WinGetPos'. The following script works fine during execution, but after Exit there shows up an error message saying 'Subscript used with non-Array variable' (same problem with compiled script).

On top of a running application there is an additional menu done with AutoIt. The code makes the menu follow the application window when this is moved by the user.

............................................

While WinExists($AMWhdl) ;handle of appl. window

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $LFN_Open ;one of the menu items

DoFileOpen()

......

EndSelect

$AMWposnew = WinGetPos($AMWhdl) ; Moved?

If $AMWposnew<>$AMWpos Then

$AMWpos=$AMWposnew

WinMove($mnhdl, "", $AMWpos[0] + $mnleft, $AMWpos[1] + $mntop) ; added menu

EndIf

WEnd

Exit

........................................................

$AMWpos seems to become a non_array variable at the moment the script finishes.

What is going on and how can the Error message be avoided?

Some idea? Thanks.

May be this will help you.

$AMWposnew = WinGetPos($AMWhdl) ; Moved?
If IsArray($AMWposnew) Then
   If $AMWposnew<>$AMWpos Then
      $AMWpos=$AMWposnew
      WinMove($mnhdl, "", $AMWpos[0] + $mnleft, $AMWpos[1] + $mntop) ; added menu
   EndIf
EndIF

Thanks, it works!

I think I have the explanation:

The applications window is closed by the user and only later the script finishes itself and therefor the last WinGetPos does not return an array, because the window does not exist anymore.
