+= errors out sometimes...

[Tasmania]

This is the code it errors out on:

$pos = WinGetPos("Notes")
 
$pos[1] += 25
$pos[3] -= 25

Pretty sure that the Window title isn't found... try:

$pos = WinGetPos("Notes")
If Not @error Then
    $pos[1] += 25
    $pos[3] -= 25
Else
    MsgBox(0,"error", "Window not found")
EndIf

Yep, it's saying the window isn't found... hmmm, that's interesting...

Edit: Easy to fix, I'll just add in a window wait, but still... that's very interesting that it works sometimes and not others... lol...

Thanks

Acutally, it's not surprising. Sometimes the window gets the ticks it needs to come up before your script progresses, sometimes your script gets the ticks to error out before the window comes up.

I run into this all the time. A good mix of soft and/or hard waits will keep everything running smoothly.

In other-words, a scripting application may run two times faster than an application that needs to download data from a database... which is what I've noticed... is this an accurate restatement?

This is a classic case (deomonstrated by Jdeb) of proper error handling preventing nasty situations.

We know that WinGetPos returns an Array if successful or an @error if failed.

Why would we (knowing that there is a possibility of failure) not do proper error handling ahead of time?

(Notice I'm using a handle here... I try to stay away from titles if and when possible)

$aPos = WinGetPos($hWnd)
If @error = 0 Then
    ;EtcoÝ÷ ØêÚºÚ"µÍÌÍØTÜÈHÚ[Ù]ÜÊ ÌÍÚÛ
BYÐ^J  ÌÍØTÜÊH[Ñ]

I generally use the IsArray() one because I'm thinking array here... but I'm sure @error would be much faster if speed was an issue.

This is true... I will attempt to program more error handling in the future as I program instead of after the fact. It is probable that this will prevent many headaches.

Thanks for the advice
