ControlCommand function not giving expected output

[Bowmore]

OS = WinXP Pro SP2

The following line of code returns 1 when run under AutoIt 3.2.10.0 F5 from Scite but returns 0 when run under the latest beta 3.2.11.3 Alt+F5 from Scite. In both cases @error is 0 on return. Has there been some change to the way this function works in the latest beta that I have missed or is this a bug that has crept in?

$iResult = ControlCommand("[REGEXPTITLE:^.* - ArcMap - ArcEditor$]", "", "[CLASS:ArkansasCoolBar; TEXT:EditClient Validation]", "IsVisible", "")

I have also noticed that the value of $hCtrlTB is different in 3.2.10.0 and 3.2.11.3 but remains consistently the same in each version of AutoIt. The application I'm running against remains open between runs, so the control handle should not change. The handle returned by AutoIt 3.2.10.0 matches that displayed by AuInfo.exe.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

I personally would have to dig more, but I could have swore I read a change in the regexp and class validation... you do get a handle with WinGetHandle("[REGEXPTITLE:^.* - ArcMap - ArcEditor$]") of the win in question with the upper betas?

TITLE - Window title

CLASS - The internal window classname

REGEXPTITLE - Window title using a regular expression (if the regular expression is wrong @error will be set to 2)

LAST - Last window used in a previous AutoIt command

ACTIVE - Currently active window

INSTANCE - The 1-based instance when all given properties match

No TEXT: option there I see. Edited March 19, 2008 by SmOke_N

Using the CLASSNN method works with both 3.2.10.0 and 3.2.11.3 so the issue would seem to be with the TEXT: control identifier method.

$hCtrlTB =  ControlGetHandle("[REGEXPTITLE:^.* - ArcMap - ArcEditor$]", "", "[CLASSNN:ArkansasCoolBar19]")
$iResult = _WinAPI_IsWindowVisible($hCtrlTB)oÝ÷ Ú«¨µéÚ

OOps I forgot to mention in my last post. The critical thing causing the correct control not to be found using the CLASS: TEXT: combination appears to be if there is another control in the same CLASS but with "" text.

I didn't edtit the above post because I did not want to risk it messing up the code.
