My autoit script not work in some computer

[sir]

Actually i faced with this problem before but just ignore it, now i face with it again.

i have writen many autoitscript, and i use it many place but in some computer it not work.

the following is simple example script:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) 

HotKeySet("^{F12}", "Terminate")
$i=0


ToolTIp('ControlClick(" Windows", "", "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]") [Stop by Ctrl+{F12}]',0,50)
While 1
    If WinExists(" Windows") Then
        ControlClick(" My Brute", "", "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]")
        $i+=1
        ToolTIp('ControlClick(" Windows", "", "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]") [Stop by Ctrl+{F12}] [no of click='&$i&']',0,50)
    ;[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]
    ;Sleep(5000)
        Sleep(10000)
    EndIf
    
    sleep(1000)
WEnd

    
    
Func Terminate()
    ToolTip("")
    Exit 0
EndFunc

This script seem to work it this PC too but actually nothing is done.

Could anyone tell what is the possible cause?

It might be because of the OS your running it on.

Some of my scripts don't work on Vistas because it tries to open a program without permission.

What OS are you trying to run it on?

What creates the "Windows" window? If it's an instance of FireFox, are you sure the control at INSTANCE:6 is the same one every time?

You might check with something like this:

$sWin = "[CLASS:MozillaUIWindowClass]"
$hWin = WinGetHandle($sWin, "")
ConsoleWrite("$sWin = " & $sWin & ", $hWin = " & $hWin & @LF)
$i = 1
While 1
    $hCont = ControlGetHandle($hWin, "", "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:" & $i & "]")
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    $avPos = ControlGetPos($hWin, "", $hCont)
    ConsoleWrite("INSTANCE:" & $i & ", $hCont = " & $hCont & _
            "X = " & $avPos[0] & ", Y = " & $avPos[1] & @LF)
    $i += 1
WEnd

Actually this code ( and other) is work well in all computers except one of my laptop.

I just show this code to tell that it is simple.

for this code the counter $i is increment (that means the control is click), but in fact nothing is click

thank you

I've noticed that too. I have a script that runs on my laptop, but when I put it on my desktop it "freezes" half way through the script. I clicked the button that wasn't getting clicked and the script picked up and kept on running fine from that point on. It is not a big deal, but I thought I just through it out there.

You did check this laptop what the EXACT Window and Control information is for the control you want to click?

I only see you stating it doesn't work, but not what you have tried to debug it..

Sorry my english is not good.

OK, "does not work in my laptop" means the script show that it have click the button (becoz the counter is incremented) but in fact nothing is click.

i also face the problem with other scripts, but those scripts are very long so i show only this simple script.

thank you.

You've ignored the responses you already got. Exactly how did you determine that the control IDs (i.e. "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]") didn't change in the failing environment? Something like an extra toolbar or add-on may have changed it.

thank you very much now i m with the computer that used to work.

Now it not work here too. I dont know why:

i change the code to

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) 

HotKeySet("{Esc}", "Terminate")

$i=0
$loop=0

ToolTIp('ControlClick(" My Brute", "", "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]") [Stop by Ctrl+{F12}] # of click='&$i&'/'&$loop,0,50)
While 1
    $loop+=1
    If WinExists(" My Brute") Then

        $clicked=ControlClick("My Brute", "", "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]")

         $i+=1
         Sleep(5000)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    ToolTIp('ControlClick("My Brute", "", "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]") [Stop by Ctrl+{F12}] # of click='&$i&'/'&$loop,0,50)
    sleep(1000)
WEnd

    
Func Terminate()
    ToolTip("")
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Now the $clicked=ControlClick() always return 0.

I have checke the control instance with "autoit windows info", it still show something like this:

>>>> Window <<<<
Title:  ballkun My Brute - Mozilla Firefox
Class:  MozillaUIWindowClass
Position:   -4, -4
Size:   1288, 968
Style:  0x15CF0000
ExStyle:    0x00000100
Handle: 0x005718A0

>>>> Control <<<<
Class:  MozillaWindowClass
Instance:   6
ClassnameNN:    MozillaWindowClass6
Advanced (Class):   [CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; INSTANCE:6]
ID: 
Text:   
Position:   537, 452

what is the problem now?
