Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that will change to a selected window title in a combobox that list all the visible windows available.

But I can't get the selection to be directed to my function so that I could make that selected window title active.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode 

$mainwindow = GUICreate("Window Selecter",200,20,760,0)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
WinSetOnTop($mainwindow, "", 1)
$var = WinList()

$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo (WinGetTitle($mainwindow), 0,0); create first item
GUICtrlSetData($combo,itemList($var)) 
GUISetOnEvent($combo, "SwitchWindow")

GUISetState ()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    Sleep(1000)
Wend

Func itemList(ByRef $array)
    Dim $str
    For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]
        If $var[$i][0] <> "" AND IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
            $str = $str & $var[$i][0] & "|"
        EndIf
    Next
    $str = StringTrimRight($str, 1) 
    Return $str
EndFunc

Func IsVisible($handle)
  If BitAnd( WinGetState($handle), 2 ) Then 
    Return 1
  Else
    Return 0
  EndIf
EndFunc

Func SwitchWindow()
    WinActivate(GUICtrlRead($combo))
EndFunc

Func CLOSEClicked()
  Exit
EndFunc

Can someone please help me through this problem.

Thanks in advance.

I have looked it over and tried alternate tests. It seems the control events are not working.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1); Change to OnEvent mode 

$mainwindow = GUICreate("Window Selecter",200,50,760,0)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
WinSetOnTop($mainwindow, "", 1)
$var = WinList()

$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo (WinGetTitle($mainwindow), 0,0); create first item
$testcheck = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox ("test",0,21)
;GUISetOnEvent($combo, "testme")
GUISetOnEvent($testcheck, "testme")
;GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP, "testme")

GUICtrlSetData($combo,itemList($var))

GUISetState ()
$SelectionOWin = ""

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1 
    Sleep(1000)
Wend

Func itemList(ByRef $array)
    Dim $str
    For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]
        If $var[$i][0] <> "" AND IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
            $str = $str & $var[$i][0] & "|"
        EndIf
    Next
    $str = StringTrimRight($str, 1) 
    Return $str
EndFunc

Func IsVisible($handle)
  If BitAnd( WinGetState($handle), 2 ) Then 
    Return 1
  Else
    Return 0
  EndIf
EndFunc

Func testme()
    MsgBox(0, "", "triggered")
    if $SelectionOWin <> GUICtrlRead($combo) Then
        if WinExists(GUICtrlRead($combo)) Then
            WinActivate(GUICtrlRead($combo))
            $SelectionOWin = (GUICtrlRead($combo))
        EndIf
    EndIf
    
EndFunc

Func CLOSEClicked()
    MsgBox(0, "Closed", "Close event")
  Exit
EndFunc

If I am too verbose, just say so. You don't need to run on and on.

Thanks jdickens, for spending the time looking through. I'm wondering is this a bug or my coding is having a problem.

Your code looks great, I played with it and changed it only slightly and I believe it now has the desired effect. I have no clue why it wouldn't work as you had it. I guess you could report it as a bug see if they can get to the bottom of the issue.

ronsrules seems to have the same problem, but I never got his code to work the way I thought it should.

GL :):D:D:huh::(

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$mainwindow = GUICreate("Window Selecter", 200, 20, 760, 0)

WinSetOnTop($mainwindow, "", 1)
$var = WinList()

$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo(WinGetTitle($mainwindow), 0, 0); create first item
GUICtrlSetData($combo, itemList($var))
GUISetOnEvent($combo, "SwitchWindow")

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            CLOSEClicked()
        Case $msg = $combo
            SwitchWindow()
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func itemList(ByRef $array)
    Dim $str
    For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
        If $var[$i][0] <> "" And IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
            $str = $str & $var[$i][0] & "|"

Do you think GUISetOnEvent is for using on a _control_ or could it be just GUICtrlSetOnEvent ? :)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nobody seems to have noticed your post here Holger.

Even Kerberuz's post doesn't work the way it's supposed to. But, if you take his script, and change the line:

GUISetOnEvent($combo, "SwitchWindow")

To this:

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($combo, "SwitchWindow")

It works perfectly.

Could perhaps be the fault of the Help file, as the description for both functions is similar:

Defines a user-defined function to be called when a control is clicked.

RIGHT!

Defines a user function to be called when a control is clicked.

WRONG! This defines a user function to be called when a GUI SPECIAL EVENT happens (like CLOSE, MINIMIZE, RESTORE, MOUSEMOVE). That's it. It's not for a control.

Yee Ha :D Thanks guys. It's working! working!

So can I conclude that:

GUISetOnEvent

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

- for handling GUI windows events only.

Eg. $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE, etc...

GUICtrlSetOnEvent

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

- for handling user define GUI controls only.

Eg. Buttons, ComboBoxes, Menus, etc...

:)

That is good to know, I'm still learning and I'm having a great time doing it. It's easy to over look something like that in the beginning. This is how I will get better in my eyes. I try to find someone with a problem and I play with their code to see if I can find/fix the problem. :)

Also I added 3 more lines of code so that the Program Manager would not be included in the list since it's for the desktop icons and you will not be able to switch to the desktop. Well you can, but it would require some additional code.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$mainwindow = GUICreate("Window Selecter", 200, 20, 760, 0)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
WinSetOnTop($mainwindow, "", 1)
$var = WinList()

$combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo(WinGetTitle($mainwindow), 0, 0); create first item
GUICtrlSetData($combo, itemList($var))
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($combo, "SwitchWindow")

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            CLOSEClicked()
        Case $msg = $combo
            SwitchWindow()
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func itemList(ByRef $array)
    Dim $str
    For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
        If $var[$i][0] <> "" And IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
            If $var[$i][0] <> "Program Manager" Then
                $str = $str & $var[$i][0] & "|"
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    $str = StringTrimRight($str, 1)
    Return $str
EndFunc  ;==>itemList

Func IsVisible($handle)
    If BitAND( WinGetState($handle), 2) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>IsVisible

Func SwitchWindow()
    WinActivate(GUICtrlRead($combo))
EndFunc  ;==>SwitchWindow

Func CLOSEClicked()
    Exit
EndFunc  ;==>CLOSEClicked
