Classname Error

[Andre]

Hi,

could someone please have a look at the following :

For $I = 1 To 10
   If  WinExists("Rekenm","") Then 
      $Arr[$Teller] = WinGetTitle("ClassName=SciCalc","")
      $Teller = $Teller + 1
      WinSetTitle("Rekenma","", $Teller & "Rekenmachine")
      $Arr[$Teller] = WinGetTitle($Teller & "Rekenmach","")
      $Teller = $Teller + 1
      Sleep(500)
   EndIf
Next

This works fine for me, but when i use "advanced" controls using classname

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

For $I = 1 To 10
   If WinExists("classname=SciCalc","") Then 
      $Arr[$Teller] = WinGetTitle("ClassName=SciCalc","")
      $Teller = $Teller + 1
      WinSetTitle("Rekenma","", $Teller & "Rekenmachine")
      $Arr[$Teller] = WinGetTitle($Teller & "Rekenmach","")
      $Teller = $Teller + 1
      Sleep(500)
   EndIf
Next

It results in an error :

==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:

$Arr[$Teller] = WinGetTitle($Teller & "Rekenmach","")

Some advice please ?

Thnx.

Add: Dim $Arr[10] at the top to define the array first...

[Andre]

I have done that already,

sorry won't work.

Try DIM $Arr[11] since a DIM $Arr[10] is => 0 - 9

Hi,

That works indeed Thnx.

Next problem : When i use the winexitst without the use of classname the whole run

takea about 1,2 sec.

With the use of classname it takes too long > 9 sec.

how come

Andre

Edit : The removal of the sleep does speed it up but too less.

Hi,

Perhaps i should make my question more general.

Am i rights that the use of classname in WinExists("classname=SciCalc","")

slows down instead of using WinExistst("Calculator","") ??

Thnx

I created a test to determine this. It opens the scientific calculator, and then performs 10,000 classname checks on it, and 10,000 title checks on it. It will then provide the time differences. You can see the code below.

My results of the test were as follows:

Classname time: 6.41 seconds

Title time: 5.68 seconds

That may sound like a huge difference, but it's really not. This is because the test was in a loop that ran 10,000 times. In reality, the classname method, according to my results, only takes 0.000073 seconds longer each time you use it.

The code I used:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
If WinExists("classname=SciCalc") OR WinExists("Calculator") Then
  MsgBox(16, "Error", "You cannot run this test with the calc active!")
  Exit
EndIf
SplashTextOn("Working...", "Test is running.  Please wait" & @LF &_
 "Do not close the calculator until the test is complete")

Run("calc.exe")
WinWaitActive("Calculator")
ControlSend("Calculator", "", "Edit1", "!vs")
Sleep(500)

$time1 = TimerInit()
For $i = 1 To 10000
  WinExists("classname=SciCalc")
Next
$time1 = TimerDiff($time1)

$time2 = TimerInit()
For $i = 1 To 10000
  WinExists("Calculator")
Next
$time2 = TimerDiff($time2)

SplashOff()
MsgBox(0, "Results", "Classname time is: " & Round($time1 / 1000, 2) &_
 @LF & "Title time is: " & Round($time2 / 1000, 2))

too cool not to try. Life's good when you have 2 gigs of ram:

---------------------------

Results

---------------------------

Classname time is: 2.7

Title time is: 2.3

---------------------------

OK

Ok Guys,

Thnx for all the respons.

I'll guess it's my loop that make's it slower, but i can live with it.
