If you are seeing the first, but not the second, then I think it's a timing issue. There is no "wait" before looking for the second window. I may not be there yet when you try to get the handle. Also, you didn't ask but: To improve reliability, once you get the window handle use ControlSend() vice Send() wherever possible. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

k3v Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Have you tried ControlSend instead of Send? (this should work whether the window is active or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanOlson Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 IM looking for the second window the first window is a stupid windows security run window that opens then that get's closed the issue then is the next program window when it comes up.

RyanOlson Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 The problem is I don't think anything is working to find the window I first used plain old winwaitactive and it would not work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3v Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) I've resorted to this before... while 1 if winexists($myhandle) do stuff exitloop endif ;(maybe time your loop out here in case the window is never recognized) wend Edited June 9, 2008 by k3v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanOlson Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Still no go it is like the window does not exist but does exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k3v Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I might try the things you've already tried, but using the window's title instead of it's handle... if that doesn't work, I'm afraid I'm fresh out of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanOlson Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks k3v I did try that that's when i thought hey maybe the handle now I think i am just up a creek and those tricky developers must have somoe anti script thing working against me.

k3v Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 one final note, I'm sure you already corrected this, but as PsaltyDS mentioned, you do need to wait for the window to be active before you can get its handle... so my earlier loop example would'nt work if you attampted to get the handle before the window was active... try the loop using the window's title.

RyanOlson Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ok bringing this back up to see if this is a bug some how or I need something else. I was bored so I started looking at the issue again and found out what is happening. here is the code Run ( "temp\tune.exe" , "" ) If WinExists("TuneUp Utilities 2008 Setup") Then Sleep(5000) Send ("!n") EndIf IF I run it that way it does not work now if I add a long enough pause say like this Run ( "temp\tune.exe" , "" ) sleep(10000) If WinExists("TuneUp Utilities 2008 Setup") Then Sleep(5000) Send ("!n") EndIf Then it will send the alt n to move to the next option. I am on winexitst right now because this is when I discovered the issue it works with winwaitactive and everything with the pause the issue is if I set it to win wait active shouldn't it wait till the window is up before killing the script. What I mean is if it looks like this Run ( "temp\tune.exe" , "" ) If WinWaitActive("TuneUp Utilities 2008 Setup") Then Sleep(5000) Send ("!n") EndIf Shouldn't it wait till there is focus on the tune up window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerarinKerowyn Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 RunWait( "temp\tune.exe" , "" ) If WinExists("TuneUp Utilities 2008 Setup") Then Send ("!n") EndIf This should work regardless to if anything is working but I would get the handle of the Window before hand such as Dim $handle RunWait( "temp\tune.exe" , "" ) If WinExists( "TuneUp Utilities 2008 Setup") Then WinActivate( "TuneUp Utilities 2008 Setup") $handle = WinGetHandle( "TuneUp Utilities 2008 Setup") If @error Then MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window") EndIf EndIf If $handle Then ; ControlSend( $handle, , <ControlID>, "!n") or Send("!n) EndIf The ControlSend works without the window being active so choose what one you'd like to, I don't know the controlID so you have to know it by check on your windows thing Contact via MSN: [email=terarink_msn@hotmail.com]terarink_msn@hotmail.com[/email], yahoo: terarink_yah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
