Please help! I am using Autoit version 3.3.10.2 to automate a task where I need to click on a control on a window of a third party program. I am having a problem with the ControlGetPos function. When I call it with the correct information about the contol and its parent window, it reports the wrong value for the Y position, though the X position is correct. When I run AU3INFO.EXE it reports the correct position, though. Please see the attached screen shot to understand what I mean. Here is the source code for the example code that I am running in the attached screen shot. These are the only two lines in my example program, for simplicity (it assumes the window is already up on the screen in this example): $ControlCoordinates = ControlGetPos("Diagnostic Report", "", "[NAME:m_Details]") MsgBox(0, "Output from my AutoIt Test Script", "Autoit code believes the control to be at this location: " & @CRLF & $ControlCoordinates[0] & "," & $ControlCoordinates[1]) (Note: I have tried putting Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2) at the top of the code and it does not change the value, regardless of whether I do 0, 1, or 2 for the mode.) As you can see from the screen shot, AutoIt is getting "140" for the Y position. But the same control, when use AU3INFO.EXE to obtain its location, reports 164 for the Y position. I'm sure we're talking about the same control here. When I hover over the control with AU3INFO.EXE it reports the name "[NAME:m_Details]" for that control, and that is what I put into the code. There are no other controls on the window with that identifier, it is unique to that control in the example I have shown. The reason this is a problem is that I need to send a MouseClick to that place on the screen (ControlClick doesn't work for this program, I don't know why) and with MouseClick it's imperative that I get the position correct. It's not coming out correct this way and the mouse is clicking 24 pixels too high to register. What's wrong with the ControlGetPos function, and more importantly, why does AU3INFO.EXE get it right when it was written by the same people? What is AU3INFO doing right that AutoIt's ControlGetPos function is not doing right? How can I fix this so my code works correctly in all cases?

I am seeing a buttons position change when the following happens. 1. GUI created at 800 x 600 2. GUI info is stored using WinGetPos 3. GUI changed to full-screen using WinMove 4. Button info is stored using ControlGetPos 5. Button is deleted 6. Button is re-created using the stored data from item 4. 7. GUI is restored to the info gathered in item 2. The button starts with this info: Button Left: 408 Button Top: 84 Button Width: 80 Button Height: 24 and after the events above the button has this info: Button Left: 409 Button Top: 83 Button Width: 80 Button Height: 24 Here is some code that can reproduce the issue: (press space, f, space, f, then look in the console) #Region Includes #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <Array.au3> #EndRegion Includes Const $HT_KEY_FULLSCREEN = "f" Const $HT_KEY_SPACE = "{SPACE}" Global $btnAddRebuy[21] Global $btnRemovePlayer[21] Global $fFullscreen = False Global $aGuiInfo Global $aGuiInfo2 Global $guiWidth = 800 Global $guiHeight = 600 #Region Dimensions for Settings Screen ; Player Global $lblPlayerTop = 60 Global $playerLabelSpace = 24 ; Add Rebuy Button Global $btnRebuyLeft = 320 Global $btnRebuyWidth = 80 Global $btnRebuyHeight = 24 ; Remove Player Global $btnRemoveLeft = 408 Global $btnRemoveWidth = 80 Global $btnRemoveHeight = 24 #EndRegion Dimensions for Settings Screen $hMain = GUICreate("Timer", $guiWidth, $guiHeight, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_MAXIMIZEBOX,$WS_MINIMIZEBOX,$WS_SIZEBOX,$WS_THICKFRAME,$WS_SYSMENU,$WS_CAPTION,$WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,$WS_TILEDWINDOW,$WS_POPUP,$WS_POPUPWINDOW,$WS_GROUP,$WS_TABSTOP,$WS_BORDER,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)) For $i = 1 To 5 Step 1 $btnAddRebuy[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", $btnRebuyLeft, $lblPlayerTop + ($playerLabelSpace * $i), $btnRebuyWidth, $btnRebuyHeight) GUICtrlSetResizing($btnAddRebuy[$i], $GUI_DOCKAUTO) GuiCtrlSetState($btnAddRebuy[$i], $GUI_DISABLE) $btnRemovePlayer[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", $btnRemoveLeft, $lblPlayerTop + ($playerLabelSpace * $i), $btnRemoveWidth, $btnRemoveHeight) ;GUICtrlSetResizing($btnRemovePlayer[$i], $GUI_DOCKAUTO) Next GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) HotKeySet($HT_KEY_FULLSCREEN, "Fullscreen") HotKeySet($HT_KEY_SPACE, "Redraw") While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop EndIf WEnd Func Fullscreen() If WinActive($hMain) Then If $fFullscreen Then ;GUISetStyle(BitOR($WS_MAXIMIZEBOX,$WS_MINIMIZEBOX,$WS_SIZEBOX,$WS_THICKFRAME,$WS_SYSMENU,$WS_CAPTION,$WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,$WS_TILEDWINDOW,$WS_POPUP,$WS_POPUPWINDOW,$WS_GROUP,$WS_TABSTOP,$WS_BORDER,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS), Default, $hMain) $aGuiInfo2 = WinGetPos($hMain) ConsoleWrite("******* Fullscreen *******" & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Win Left: " & $aGuiInfo2[0] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Win Top: " & $aGuiInfo2[1] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Win Width: " & $aGuiInfo2[2] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Win Height: " & $aGuiInfo2[3] & @LF & @LF) ;WinMove($hMain, Default, $aGuiInfo[0], $aGuiInfo[1], $aGuiInfo[2], $aGuiInfo[3]) WinMove($hMain, Default, 238, 179, 816, 638) $fFullscreen = False $aCtrlInfo = ControlGetPos($hMain, "", $btnRemovePlayer[1]) ConsoleWrite("******* Button Info after Restored *******" & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Left: " & $aCtrlInfo[0] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Top: " & $aCtrlInfo[1] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Width: " & $aCtrlInfo[2] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Height: " & $aCtrlInfo[3] & @LF & @LF) Else ;GUISetStyle($WS_POPUP, Default, $hMain) $aGuiInfo = WinGetPos($hMain) ConsoleWrite("******* Start Size *******" & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Win Left: " & $aGuiInfo[0] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Win Top: " & $aGuiInfo[1] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Win Width: " & $aGuiInfo[2] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Win Height: " & $aGuiInfo[3] & @LF & @LF) WinMove($hMain, Default, 0, 0, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight) $fFullscreen = True $aCtrlInfo = ControlGetPos($hMain, "", $btnRemovePlayer[1]) ConsoleWrite("******* Button Info after Fullscreened *******" & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Left: " & $aCtrlInfo[0] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Top: " & $aCtrlInfo[1] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Width: " & $aCtrlInfo[2] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Height: " & $aCtrlInfo[3] & @LF & @LF) EndIf Else HotKeySet($HT_KEY_FULLSCREEN) Send($HT_KEY_FULLSCREEN) HotKeySet($HT_KEY_FULLSCREEN, "Fullscreen") EndIf EndFunc Func Redraw() Local $aCtrlInfo $aCtrlInfo = ControlGetPos($hMain, "", $btnRemovePlayer[1]) ConsoleWrite("******* Button Info before Redraw *******" & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Left: " & $aCtrlInfo[0] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Top: " & $aCtrlInfo[1] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Width: " & $aCtrlInfo[2] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Height: " & $aCtrlInfo[3] & @LF & @LF) GuiCtrlDelete($btnRemovePlayer[1]) $btnRemovePlayer[1] = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", $aCtrlInfo[0], $aCtrlInfo[1], $aCtrlInfo[2], $aCtrlInfo[3]) ;GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKAUTO) $aCtrlInfo = ControlGetPos($hMain, "", $btnRemovePlayer[1]) ConsoleWrite("******* Button Info after Redraw *******" & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Left: " & $aCtrlInfo[0] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Top: " & $aCtrlInfo[1] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Width: " & $aCtrlInfo[2] & @LF) ConsoleWrite("Button Height: " & $aCtrlInfo[3] & @LF & @LF) EndFunc Is there a way to fix this, or is the issue built in to how windows get resized?
