Olav Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hi! I am trying to remote-control another application. For that to work properly I plan to make extensive use of the "PixelChecksum" function. So, I decided to start off programming a small tool that helps me grabbing the right pixel checksums. My plan is to: 1. start the application 2. start my script 3. move the mouse to the top-left corner of the pixel checksum area 4. hit a key 5. move the mouse to the bottom-right corner of the pixel checksum area 6. hit a key and get the checksum via ConsoleWrite I thought this to be rather easy, however, I failed to register a message for the application window. Here is an excerpt of my script: CODEIf WinActivate($cfg_window_title) <> 1 Then Exit(1) EndIf $whd = WinGetHandle($cfg_window_title) if $whd = "" Then Exit(2) EndIf if GUISwitch($whd) = 0 Then Exit(3) EndIf if GUIRegisterMsg(0x0101, "onkeyup") <> 1 Then Exit(4) EndIf $cont = True While $cont = True sleep(500) WEnd I always get the error code 3, meaning that the script found the target windows, managed to actiavte it, but GUISwitch fails to switch to the given window handle. Any ideas? Any other way to achieve my actual goal of getting a tool for grabbing pixel checksums? Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much!GuiSwitch is used to switch to a gui in your script not a gui in another application. Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

Olav Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 GuiSwitch is used to switch to a gui in your script not a gui in another application.Thanks for the clarification! I tried another approach and it works. I managed to get the mouse coordinates without the appropriate window handle. Thanks again.Cheers,Olav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
