Sudden problems without changing my code !

[SueImWeb]

Hello,

i am using AutoItX as a registered COM Object for about 1,5 years now and everything worked fine, also after upgrading to version 3.2.12.1.

Yesterday I detected, that some methods of AutoItX didn't work anymore (there was no Windows Update on my computer, no changes of my code in the regarding classes).

Because i was working on the design of my application during the last few days, I tested older versions of my program back to 30. Sep to exclude a bug.

The same problem appeared through all versions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first problem (ControlGetHandle):

// C# Code
public class MyClass
{
    private AutoItX3Lib.AutoItX3Class ait3 = new AutoItX3Lib.AutoItX3Class();

    public MyClass()
    {
         ait3.AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4);
    }

    // trying to get the handle of a control
    // in another application
    public string GetTheControlHandle()
    {
    // Suddenly returns an empty string
    // and sets error to 1
        // The ControlId is definitely 2008!
        // Testing the ClassNameNN "Edit122"
        // was causing the same return
        string hwnd = ait3.ControlGetHandle("", "", "2008");
    }
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second problem (WinSetTitle):

I designed an interface to enable communication between 2 applications. One of these programs comes from an extern software vendor and allows creating own forms with VBScript for individual purposes. This is where I use AutoItX to send some Text to a hidden window in my .NET application, where a hook (WndProc) catches the message and fires an event if the message number is 12 (WM_SETTEXT).

Yesterday I found out, that suddenly no WM_SETTEXT arrives my hook in the hidden window.

Monitoring the operations with WinspectorSpy I also missed my message.

But then the unbelievable: The title of my hidden window get set to the new text out of my message!!!

I then ran tests on 3 other computers - everywhere the same result.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as I know yet, every other methods do still work fine.

Does anybody have an idea what could cause these problems?

Thank you in advance.
