Klexen Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I've noticed that WinActivate does not work in Vista.. Has anyone else experienced this? Or any other functions not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I experience no problem with WinActivate in Vista (UAC off). This line works just fine. WinActivate('WinActivate does not work in vista') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klexen Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 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".') Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

MHz Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Anyways, what is the difference between using ' and " they both seem to work?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.

i542 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 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 I can do signature me.
