Window Title vs Taskbar Title

[Dava]

Hi,

I am trying to get the "percentage complete" indication from DVD Decrypter whilst ripping so as to show it on an external display in my HTPC.

while ProcessExists('DVDDecrypter.exe')
    $title=WinGetTitle('DVD Decrypter',"")
    $pct=0
    $pct=StringLeft($title,3)
    MsgBox( 0,"Rip",$title,5)
Wend

I can see that in the Windows taskbar at the bottom that the title is "12% - DVD Decrypter" but the Window title is always just "DVD Decrypter" and that is what is returned to AutoIT.

Any ideas how I can get the Taskbar version of the title including the percentage?

Cracked it!

Using Winlist() shows that there are multiple windows, one of which has the percentage at the front.

; use regex
$var = "12% - DVD Decrypter"
Run('notepad')
WinWait('Untitled')
WinSetTitle('Untitled', '', $var)
While ProcessExists('Notepad.exe')
    $title = WinGetTitle('[REGEXPTITLE:[[0-9]]*% - DVD Decrypter]')
    $pct = 0
    $pct = StringLeft($title,3)
    MsgBox( 0, "Rip", $title, 5)

You could also try and use the class of the window or other. Check the help page on "Window Titles and Text (Advanced)".

Thanks, I managed to extract the percentage, only to the console at the moment but I got the exact functionality I needed with this:

run ('d:\Program Files\dvd decrypter\DVDDecrypter.exe /start /close /overwrite yes',"",@SW_MINIMIZE)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)


AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
while ProcessExists('DVDDecrypter.exe')
    
    $var = WinList("% - DVD Decrypter")
    
    if $var[0][0] > 0 Then
        ConsoleWrite ($var[1][0])
        $pct=0
        $pct=StringLeft($var[1][0],4)
        while not StringIsDigit($pct)
            $pct=StringLeft($pcT, stringlen($pct)-1)
        WEnd
        
        ConsoleWrite (":" & $pct & @lf)
        
    EndIf
    sleep (1000)
    
WEnd
