No Arrays Vars?

[Guest ScottD]

Just installed AutoIt and am giving it a test drive. Very cool so far, however, I'm getting an error when trying to use array vars. This code from the help:

Dim $pos[4]

$pos = ControlGetPos("Untitled - NotePad", "", "Edit1")
MsgBox(0, "Window Stats:", "POS: " & $pos[0] & _
"," $pos[1] & " SIZE: " & $pos[2] & "," $pos[3] )

This gives me an error: Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable.

I've reinstalled AutoIt, but to no avail. What stupid little thing am I doing wrong?

Also, is there a way to click the currently active control, something like ActiveControlClick? Thanks for any help!

it's not a problem with autoit, u jst don't have a window with the title "Untitled - NotePad" open...

and btw, the expression in the msgbox is wrong, u forgot few &'s. here's the fixed expression:

MsgBox(0, "Window Stats:", "POS: " & $pos[0] & _
"," & $pos[1] & " SIZE: " & $pos[2] & "," & $pos[3] )

Your array indices look fine...

check the title "Untitled - NotePad"

I think the title is case sensitive and causes the ControlGetPos to fail. You should always check @error, or you could actually check IsArray($pos)

$pos = ControlGetPos("Untitled - NotePad", "", "Edit1")
MsgBox(4096,"info", "Error code: '" & @error)

$pos = ControlGetPos("Untitled - Notepad", "", "Edit1")
MsgBox(4096,"info", "Error code: '" & @error)

Thanks, guys. A couple extra ampersands and a lower-case 'p' did the trick. :">
