tamir Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 i want to make a script that runs notepad and then do some functions in it. the problem is that this script is for other people from other countries and i don't know their notepad's title, so i want to know if there is a way to open it and set the title right away?

Nova Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 (edited) I see your problem.i don't know their notepad's title,Thats not the worst of your problems you dont know where notepad.exe is saved on their HDsIve never actually used windows in a language other than english.But I assume that for example the directory C:\New Folder\Notepad.exein spannish might look like C:\Carpeta Nueva\Bloc.exeSo running C:\New Folder\Notepad.exe on the spanish comp wouldnt open notepad.exeYou would have to know each langauge to do what you want to do.Edit:You could fileinstall notepad.exe with your script to a dir of ur choice and then run it and do what you want Edited December 24, 2004 by nova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aramis Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 how do i check the classname of programs?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Load the AU3_Spy.exe utility located in AutoIt3 folder then give focus to the app. you want to know the ClassName. The latter is indicated there, in the Spy window. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamir Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 I have another question: i want to make sure the notepad is writing in english. is there a function for it? because if i send "Alt+Shift" and it was on english mode it'll change to other language.
