GetFocus, SetFocus not working


Recommended Posts

Both GetFocus and SetFocus are returning 0x00000000 and subsequent @error is also 0 and hence I don't know what's going on? Why are ___Focus() calls returning 0?

$wndFocus = _WinAPI_GetFocus()

MsgBox(0, "Debug", "WinGetHandle(Picasa 3) returned " & WinGetHandle("Picasa 3") & @CRLF & _

"_WinAPI_GetForegroundWindow() returned " & _WinAPI_GetForegroundWindow() & @CRLF & _

"_WinAPI_SetFocus(WinGetHandle(Picasa 3)) returned " & _WinAPI_SetFocus(WinGetHandle("Picasa 3")) & @CRLF & _

"_WinAPI_SetFocus(_WinAPI_GetForegroundWindow()) returned " & _WinAPI_SetFocus(0) & @CRLF & _

"First _WinAPI_GetFocus() returned " & $wndFocus & " and Second _WinAPI_GetFocus() returned " & _WinAPI_GetFocus() )

Thanks.

Here's another sample test that is failing...

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

Run("C:\Program Files\Google\Picasa3\Picasa3.exe")

WinWaitActive ("Picasa 3")

WinActivate("Picasa 3")

ControlSend("Picasa 3", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "{SHIFTDOWN}{HOME}{SHIFTUP}{SHIFTDOWN}H{SHIFTUP}appy!")

MsgBox(0, "Debug - WinAPI_GetFocus()", _WinAPI_GetFocus())

MsgBox(0, "Debug - WinAPI_SetFocus()", _WinAPI_SetFocus(WinGetHandle("Picasa 3")))

MsgBox(0, "Debug - WinAPI_GetFocus()", _WinAPI_GetFocus())

WinClose("Picasa 3")

Exit

Link. Read the remarks. In short, this function works on the thread level, means if the keyboard focus belongs to another thread, other than yours, it'll return 0. Use GetForegroundwindow. ... and read the remarks :D

Thanks!
