ClipGet() / ClipPut() limitations?


Recommended Posts

One of my scripts uses ClipGet() a lot, about five times per second. It uses Send("^c") first then ClipGet() to read a value. After a few days ClipGet() always returns the same value (which is some previous value). The script also uses ClipPut() and then Send("^v{ENTER}") to reply. This also seems to fail when the problem occurs. E.G. the ^v pastes the same ClipGet() value.

The problem may be a Windows XP problem, not sure. But I couldn't find anything in the MS knowledgebase. AutoIt 3.2.0.1 was used. Reproducing the bug is difficult at best.

CODE
; Get a line of text...

MouseClick($button,$x,$y,1,1)

Send("^c")

; ClipGet() is processed, usually nothing happens, sometimes the script relies.

; Reply, $line contains the reply which only contains ASCII 32..254...

ClipPut($line)

MouseClick($button,$x,$y,1,1)

if ClipGet()<>$line then

; How is this possible? Stil it _does_ happen!!

GiveWarning()

endif

Send("{ENTER}^v{ENTER}")

You just forget to mention the application which is receiving the MouseClick.

More clicking on what is really something selected before the clicking.

At least post an image on where the Clicking goes.

I have no cristall ball. Bug report should be better documented as stated in the above sticky.

:P

I'm not sure if its a Windows bug or an AutoIt bug.

Anyhow, the application is Magic Online. (see www.wizards.com/magiconline)

The clicks are on chatlines and select that line, then use ^c to "get" the chatline.

Sometimes the click "misses" but then ClipGet() is simply empty ("") after the ^c.

Could it be a Magic Online bug at all?

Thanks. I have no intention to chat on this site. I hope somebody can help you.

I move the pot to support forum so you can have some help.
