Blue_Drache Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 And I'm the first person to use the hwnd of a window instead of the title...Titles are mutable and can change. The hwnd does not.

PsaltyDS Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Just be sure to set Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4) You don't have to do that to use handles, but you do if you want to use "[CLASS:]" style attributes.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted October 11, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 11, 2007 but you do if you want to use "[CLASS:]" style attributes. Only if you are using the old ways classname=#32770 versus [CLASS:#32770] Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
