Need to find window


Recommended Posts

im programming a bot thats checking for specific colors. as it is now i need to place the window (Internet explorer)

at an absolute place to be able to use the bot and if i move my IE window then the bot wont work. so i wonder if their is a way to find the game in the IEwindow even if its positioned at another pixelvalue on the screen?

thanks alot for taking time!

Well, if you're going with an absolute positioning requirement for your IE window, you could use WinMove() to force the IE window to a specific placement and window size.

But is there a option to have a relative position of the window and find the right values to be able to use the bot even when its not at the same place all the time?

Maybe a timer pointing to a WinPos-ish sort of function. Just a suggestion

Look up "Opt" or "MouseCoordMode" and "PixelCoordMode" in the help

You can set all your mouse movement functions and pixel functions to be based off the client area of the window. That way, no matter where your window moves, it will still work. 0,0 is no longer the top left corner of the screen, but the top left corner of the IE Client area, or window.

Eg:

opt("MouseCoordMode",2)  ; Mousemovements are now relative to 0,0 of active windows client area
opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

Run("Notepad")
WinWaitActive("Notepad")
WinMove("Notepad","",default, default ,400,400)
Msgbox(0,"","Moving mouse to 100,100 of Notepads client area")
WinWaitActive("Notepad")
MouseMove(100,100,10)
Msgbox(0,"","Go ahead and move the notepad window around now on your screen.  Click OK on this message box" & @CRLF & _
            "And I will move the mouse to 100,100 of the client area again.")
WinWaitActive("Notepad")
MouseMove(100,100,10)
