Ways to focus windows

[Fl4m3Ph03n1x]

Hey guys, I have another newb question. So far, the only way I know of focusing a window is by using it's title. So if I have a window named "ABC" and then I want to focus a window called "AB" I have a problem, becayse substring "AB" is contained within "ABC".

To fix this I tried using the command:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)

API for this command can be seen here:

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/AutoItSetOption.htm

However, I still get the same problem. If I focus "ABC" first, I can't focus "AB" after.

Here is my script so far:

expandcollapse popup

;
; AutoIt Version: 1.0
; Language:    English
; Platform:    Windows 7
; Author:        Fl4m3Ph03n1x
;
; Script Function:
;   Opens MTGT, goes to the Auctions house and then loops infinetly to get it's data.
;

;Alters the method used to search window titles. For more info see also:
;http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/AutoItSetOption.htm
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)

; Prompt the user to run the script - use a Yes/No prompt (4 - see help file)
Local $answer = MsgBox(4, "MTGT looper", "This script will run MTGT and then, go to the Auctions House and then run an infinite loop actualizing the trades.dat file.  Run?")

; Check the user's answer to the prompt (see the help file for MsgBox return values)
; If "No" was clicked (7) then exit the script
If $answer = 7 Then
    MsgBox(0, "AutoIt", "OK.  Bye!")
    Exit
EndIf

Local $launcherName = "Magic The Gathering Tactics"
Local $gameExeName = "Magic Tactics"

; Run Launcher
ShellExecute("C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\Magic The Gathering Tactics\LaunchPad.exe")

; Wait for the Firefox become active
WinWaitActive($launcherName)
MouseMove ( 900, 600)
MouseClick ( "left")

WinWaitActive($gameExeName)
WinActivate($gameExeName)
MouseMove ( 900, 600)
MouseClick ( "left")

; Finished!

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I focus $gameExeName?

Thanks in advance!

How about advanced window description?

The last time I looked, "Magic The Gathering Tactics" is a game. If you read the Forum Rules you will see we do not help automate games - so this thread will now be locked.
