JohnOne Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I think I'm in the correct thread.Some controls will resist automation unless they are the active window. Use the WinActive() function to force the control's window to the top before using ControlCommand() on these controls.Think it should be WinActivate().

GEOSoft Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 You are indeed in the right thread. I'm going to have to take another look at this but I think it should probably be WinWaitActive() since you can't activate a window that doesn't exist. WinWaitActive allows you to set a timeout.

wraithdu Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I would say it should be some combination of WinActivate() with a Sleep() and a WinActive() test, or WinActivate() and WinWaitActive() with a timeout value.
GEOSoft Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 We will have to work that out. WinActive() without testing for the window is definitly incorrect. George Question about decompiling code?

Valik Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Don't over-complicate this. It should be WinActivate(), of course. Any other discussion is tangential to the tip. It should go without saying (in that particular location) that you should check for the existence of windows before trying to interact with them.
GEOSoft Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 That works for me just fine and dandy.

BrewManNH Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Would it be possible to update the sections of the help file in regards to the INI functions and the ini file format that AutoIt recognizes? See topic for the discussion on what I mean about the ini file format. Right now, in the help file, the only things mentioned as to what you can put into the ini file are the section name and key/value pairs when it should also include things that aren't read as these or what constitutes a section name or how a key/value pair should be formatted. Sometimes it would be helpful to be able to include comments in an ini file and know they won't be read, or to comment out parts of the file if you don't want it read temporarily.The ini file doesn't have much going for it in the way of a standard, but there seem to be several de facto standards even if they're not "official" standards. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

GEOSoft Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) I think this will require some discussion with the Devs but I'll add it to the list to be looked at. Edit: One of the potential problems I see here is confusing people who are new to AutoIt. We have to think about them more-so than advanced users in my opinion.

Richard Robertson Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 IsKeyword. It only seems to work on Default. Currently says "Checks if a variable is a keyword (for example, Default)." and I propose to change it to "Checks if a variable is set to the Default keyword."
BrewManNH Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 _FileWriteFromArray, the help file should mention that it only works on a 1D array. Currently the only thing the help file says is that it will write array records to a file without any mention of any limitations on the type of array.

BrewManNH Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Well, if you're into fixing help file issues, here's another one for you _ArrayUnique --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Returns the Unique Elements of a 1-dimensional array.The help file description for that function isn't exactly accurate as written. It will not return the unique elements of just a 1D array, what it will return is a 1D array containing the elements of a 1D or 2D array, and removes all duplicate entries. So if you feed it an array that contains 1,3,4,2,2,4,5,5,6 the returned array will contain 6,1,3,4,2,5,6 where the first entry is the number of elements returned. It also will return the "unique" elements of a specific dimension of a 2D array if specified when calling it. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
