ControlSend()

[narayanjr]

This is really starting to annoy me. I wrote this program once before but lost it so I tried again and now i cant get the Control send to work for some reason.

When it its the ControlSend line @error is set to 0, meaning window/control was not found

Well I have no control to send it to and i have tried just using, Zero and just empty "" to see if it works and it still doesn't

The WinActivate works so I'm assuming that it is finding the window ok just not a control. But I don't know what to do for a control since there is none. There is no ControlId or ClassNameNN so I am out of ideas and sadly I forget how i did it last time.

Thanks for any help.

Window Info:

There is no visible or hidden text

Shouldnt it be

ControlSend("C:\ItemLevel.exe","",$Hnd,"{ENTER}")

?!?

[narayanjr]

Well if that is how it is suppose to be it didn't work either

Any other ideas?

[C2C]

if you can put that itemlevel.exe on rapidshare maybe we can figure something out

ControlSend($Hnd,"", 0 ,"{ENTER}")

Are you sure the control-id is zero?? If you don't know you should send to "" like:

ControlSend($Hnd,"", "" ,"{ENTER}")

Shouldnt it be

ControlSend("C:\ItemLevel.exe","",$Hnd,"{ENTER}")

?!?

WTF?? You need some glasses or english-lessons....

[flip209]

ControlSend("C:\ItemLevel.exe","", "" ,"{ENTER}")

ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "string" [, flag] )

Try that

but the OP said

Well I have no control to send it to and i have tried just using, Zero and just empty "" to see if it works and it still

Im quite confused right about now

[flip209]

Huh?

[narayanjr]

There it is thats the program.

I had already tried using 0 and also using Empty "" but neither worked

ItemLevel.exe

HotKeySet("{SPACE}", "Enter")

WinActivate(@ScriptDir & "\ItemLevel.exe")

$Hnd= WinGetHandle(@ScriptDir & "\ItemLevel.exe")

ConsoleWrite($Hnd& @CRLF)

While 1

Sleep(4000)

WEnd

Func Enter()

ControlSend($Hnd,"","","{ENTER}")

ConsoleWrite(@error & @CRLF)

EndFunc

seems to work but i dont have Diablo installed so it reports no handle of diable window

[narayanjr]

When you are testing it do you have the window active? because for some reason even though it sets @error to 0 it still sends Enter to the active window

I have the itemlevel.exe minimized yes

though i put the script and the exe in the same directory

[narayanjr]

hmm

What is the ControlSend line you used?

[C2C]

sends enter to handle of your exe without the text or the command id

EDIT: Is it working or not?

[narayanjr]

ControlSend($Hnd,"", "" ,"{ENTER}")

I used that and it doesnt work

[C2C]

I dont see how. The script i pasted is very similar to yours and works just fine

[narayanjr]

I dont know why it would, but is it possible it has something to do with my computer or something?

I'm using

Windows Xp Home SP2

Im on an Acct with Admin access

and now I am really confused, I just tested ControlSend with Notepad, and it works, but I still get @error = 0

Edit: but i had to use a control ID for it to work with notepad just leaving it blank didnt work

And your point is?? (@error=0 means it was successful, wasn't that what you wanted??)

[narayanjr]

Return Value

Success: Returns 1. 
Failure: Returns 0 if window/control is not found.

[AdmiralAlkex]

Thats what the function RETURNS, not the ERROR value it sets. (and you claim to be from USA?? )
