load program in gui failure

[boltc 0]

iv made a script for a project for school where i have to teach someone about game maker in 'e-learning'.

I want to load 'Game-Maker 7 Lite' in my own gui.. (download: http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/try)

my code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>


Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)

Global $OldControl = ''
Global $dllUser32 = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Global $dllGdi32 = DllOpen("gdi32.dll")

$hGUI = GUICreate("E-Learning (Game Maker 7.0)", 1000, 600, -1, -1, BitOr($WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN))

Func WinSetStyle($hWnd, $Style = -1, $ExStyle = 0)
    Local Const $GWL_STYLE = -16
    Local Const $GWL_EXSTYLE = -20
    Local Const $SWP_NOMOVE = 0x2
    Local Const $SWP_NOSIZE = 0x1
    Local Const $SWP_SHOWWINDOW = 0x40
    Local Const $SWP_NOZORDER = 0x4
    Local $iFlags = BitOR($SWP_SHOWWINDOW, $SWP_NOSIZE, $SWP_NOMOVE, $SWP_NOZORDER)
    If $Style = -1 Then $Style = $WS_MINIMIZEBOX + $WS_CAPTION + $WS_POPUP + $WS_SYSMENU
    DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "SetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", $GWL_STYLE, "int", $Style)
    DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "SetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", $GWL_EXSTYLE, "int", $ExStyle)
    DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "SetWindowPos", "hwnd", $hWnd, "hwnd", 0, "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", $iFlags)
EndFunc


func _load()
    $PID    = Run("C:\Program Files\Game_Maker7\Game_Maker.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
    $hWnd   = 0
    $stPID  = DllStructCreate("int")

    Do
    $WinList = WinList()
    For $i = 1 To $WinList[0][0]
        If $WinList[$i][0] <> "" Then
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", "hwnd", $WinList[$i][1], "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($stPID))
            If DllStructGetData($stPID, 1) = $PID Then
                $hWnd = $WinList[$i][1]
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    sleep(100)
    Until $hWnd <> 0

    If $hWnd <> 0 Then
        $nExStyle = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", -20)
        $nExStyle = $nExStyle[0]
        DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hWnd, "hwnd", $hGUI)  
        DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", -20, "int", BitOr($nExStyle, $WS_EX_MDICHILD))
                
        WinMove($hWnd, "", 0, 0, 815, 600)
        WinSetStyle($hWnd, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE + $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)

    EndIf
    $stPID = 0
EndFunc



$label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel($text_welkom_1, 820, 20, 175, 50)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Arial")
$label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel($text_welkom_2, 820, 65, 175, 400)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Arial")

$but_starting = GUICtrlCreateButton ("loading..",  820, 510, 175, 40, $WS_DISABLED)
$but_starting_exit = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Exit",  820, 555, 175, 40)



GUISetState()
_load()

;~  skip the pop-up screen
    WinWaitActive("Upgrade to the Pro Edition")
    ControlClick("Upgrade to the Pro Edition", "" ,"[CLASS:TBitBtn; INSTANCE:4;]")


$title = "E-Learning (Game Maker 7.0)"
$title_size = WinGetPos($title)
WinMove($title, "", $title_size[0] -1, $title_size[1] -1)
WinMove($title, "", $title_size[0], $title_size[1])

sometimes it load proper in my gui, but sometimes it does not. and then it load normaly and my gui is empty.

i can not find the problem, i spent already over 5 hours to this problem.

can someone help me please?

I like your script/idea.

Maybe place some "little wait" logic between Run and WinList.

Or try comment line "If $WinList[$i][0] <> "" Then" inside FOR loop

Maybe immediately after Run doesn't exist Hwnd or title yet - just idea I don't know about that so much.

the sleeps does not work, i tried them everywhere..

i maybe need to add a checksum of something that makes sure it has the right handle, and if not then repeat it.. thats what im going to try now..

thanks for your little help:)

i did some further research and i found out when he succeeded the value of $WinList[$i][0] was "Game Maker".. When he fails to load in my gui value was "Game_Maker"..

i changed my script:

Do
    $WinList = WinList()
    For $i = 1 To $WinList[0][0]
        If $WinList[$i][0] == "Game Maker" Then
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", "hwnd", $WinList[$i][1], "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($stPID))
            
            If DllStructGetData($stPID, 1) = $PID Then
                $hWnd = $WinList[$i][1]
                ClipPut($WinList[$i][0] & ", " & $WinList[$i][1])
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    sleep(100)
    Until $hWnd <> 0

and it works!

this is working more accurate:

Do
    $WinList = WinList()
    For $i = 1 To $WinList[0][0]
        If $WinList[$i][0] <> "" Then
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", "hwnd", $WinList[$i][1], "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($stPID))
            If $WinList[$i][0] == "Game Maker" Then
                If DllStructGetData($stPID, 1) = $PID Then
                    $hWnd = $WinList[$i][1]
                    ClipPut($WinList[$i][0] & ", " & $WinList[$i][1])
                    ExitLoop
                EndIf
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    sleep(100)
    Until $hWnd <> 0
