How to make case unsensitive?

[Killer]

I am trying to make a program to block certain elements from opening and running. I will have to match the names of these elements. However I observed WinTitleMatchMode is case sensitive. If I specify Notepad to block, I can't block those with titles like NOTEPAD, NotePad, notepad. Anyway to overcome this?

Change it into upper case or lower case, then check it...

If StringUpper(WinGetTitle("")) = "NOTEPAD" Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Notepad Window")
EndIf

or

If StringLower(WinGetTitle("")) = "notepad" Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Notepad Window")
EndIf

But winclose only goes for the exact name on the window, not the converted name.

[stingjoel]

Try this...

$WinTitle = WinGetTitle("")
If StringUpper($WinTitle) = "NOTEPAD" Then
   MsgBox(0, "", "Notepad window..." & @CRLF & "Click OK to close it!")
   WinClose($WinTitle, "")
EndIf

That only works on the currently active window. There is also a winlist function in the unstable that would show all the windows, and you can do a loop to see if one has notepad in the title.

Try this...

$WinTitle = WinGetTitle("")
If StringUpper($WinTitle) = "NOTEPAD" Then
   MsgBox(0, "", "Notepad window..." & @CRLF & "Click OK to close it!")
   WinClose($WinTitle, "")
EndIf

I need it to work with Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

...And your point is?

My point is, I need it to work with Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) .

That option will catch all window titles regardless example: to close the windows Notepad will be closed with Note, pad, Notepads. But I can't close Notepad titles using notepad, notePad because of the case sensitive.

..still, your point is? You haven't even tried the code you have been submitted or you wouldn't be saying something like this.

Those code doesn't even close my notepad windows.

As I said before, unless the currently active window is one with a title of notepad, then it won't work. Larry's script, however, will work on the latest unstable.

I don't see WinList documentations yet...

but, this works...

$array = WinList()

For $i = 1 to $array[0][0]
   If StringInStr(StringUpper($array[$i][0]),"NOTEPAD") Then _
          WinClose($array[$i][0])
Next

Does the unstable version means the compiled program will sometimes fail?

[this-is-me]

No, means that the function names are unstable (can change function names from version to version)

Thanks. will try that.
