ToolTip blocks WinActivate

[MatheFreak]

If I use 'ToolTip', my scripts don't work any longer.

Further windows simply dont get activated!

What am I doing wrong?? (using VBS with AutoItX3)

(I have tested with Sleep(), Timeout=... and WinList() too: window DOES exist)

Tested code, WORKING:

Set AI = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")
dummy = AI.Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

AI.WinActivate "Excel"             ' works fine
dummy = AI.WinWaitActive("Excel",,3) ' works fine
AI.send "{DOWN}"                     ' works fine

Tested code, NOT working:

Set AI = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")
dummy = AI.Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

AI.ToolTip "Waiting for Excel"     ' This line keeps rest from working!!!
                                     ' further windows simply don't get activated!
AI.WinActivate "Excel"             ' nothing happens
dummy = AI.WinWaitActive("Excel",,3) ' nothing happens
AI.send "{DOWN}"                     ' nothing happens

Your usage for WinTitleMatchMode by substring is finding the ToolTip as it is the last active window with the substring to match.

This shows you the match.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
ToolTip('Some Excel Title')
If WinExists('Excel') Then
    MsgBox(0, Default, 'Title exists')
EndIf

OMG

Now I see!!!

ToolTip is findig himself!!

@MHz: Thanks a lot for this hint!!

So it's not a bug!

But how can I indicate with ToolTip "Im wating for SaveAs Dialog" without getting confused with the real "SaveAs Dialog"?

Do I have to something use like WinTitleMatchMode=4 ???
