Getting Positions of a Window

[Duran]

I was wondering how would you get a dimension of a window like window is 800x600 but i am running 1024x768 and want to get the dimensions of that program instead of where its located on the screen but to get what the dimensions of the program is and being able to hook it so that everything the Autoit program is doing is doing in the program. Is this possible with Autoit? I have looked around the functions page and have read most of the functions but to start something that does this get me confused

Slow down, take a deep breath, think of some punctuation, and try to elaborate exactly what it is you are trying to do, and what you would like the ultimate outcome to be.

Lol sorry, that was even with me looking over it again

Ok So what I am trying to do is get the width and height of a window anywhere on the screen of 1024x768.

After that to allow the script I am running to stay in those width and height of the window so that it does not go off the program.

I am setting up some programs to run automaticly with pixelsearch and WinActive functions to make a job easier

Use the windows client coords.

Opt("PixelCoordMode", 2)

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)

In AutoInfo.exe, you'll go to options, coord mode, and select client.

Just keep the window on top, and you'll never have to worry about it.

On the other hand, if you are just sending text or clicking buttons that have classnamenn's or controlid's, you could use the Control* functions, and the window most often will not have to have focus.
