WinActivate does not work in vista?

[Klexen]

I've noticed that WinActivate does not work in Vista.. Has anyone else experienced this? Or any other functions not working?

I experience no problem with WinActivate in Vista (UAC off).

This line works just fine.

WinActivate('WinActivate does not work in vista')

Interesting, it is working. For some reason it wasn't working earlier.. Wierd...

Anyways, what is the difference between using ' and " they both seem to work?

Look in the help file under Data Types, Strings. They are interchangeable (in pairs, of course). Either can be used to enclose a literal string of the other:

MsgBox(64, "Test", "Test 1.")
MsgBox(64, 'Test', 'Test 2.')
MsgBox(64, '"Test"', "Test '3'.")
MsgBox(64, "'Test'", 'Test "4".')

Like PsaltyDS states, but for me, I use singles quotes by default and double quotes when needed to protect paths/parameters with spaces.

This example shows the usage literary.

; Default use of single quotes that I use
RunWait('c:\windows\notepad.exe')

; And then also use double quotes to protect string paths/parameters with spaces
RunWait('"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"')

; The above does well with using cmd as well
RunWait('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c explorer "c:\program files\"')

As for using single quotes within double quotes, I only do that if I am forced to handle very complex strings.

Hmm. Did you check window is invisible and you used same title? Eg. if the title is "Untitled - Notepad" and you wrote "Notepad" without changing Opt, it won't work.

BTW this goes to v3 Bug Reports
