Firefox with random window size

[mazz3d]

hello  everyone,

I'm new with AutoIT and just looking for a way to open Firefox with random window size

i have tried too many different samples from the web, some how it works but i can't make it works with Firefox 

MozRpel and ff.au3 installed 

right now i can open Firefox with this code, but i still can't control the window of Firefox

; open firefox 

#include <ff.au3>
_FFStart()

; open firefox with random size

Can you show us the code you tried that didn't work? Also, have you considered using WinMove to set the window's size once FF has loaded?

here some of the scripts i tired from the web

Example()

Func Example()
    ; Run Notepad
    Run("notepad.exe")

    ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.
    Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

    ; Retrieve the position as well as the height and width of the Notepad window. We will use this when we have to move the window back to the original position.
    Local $aPos = WinGetPos($hWnd)

    ; Move the Notepad to the x, y position of 0, 0 and set the height and width at 200, 200.
    WinMove($hWnd, "", 0, 0, 200, 200)

    ; Wait for 2 seconds to display the new position of the Notepad window.
    Sleep(2000)

    ; Move the Notepad window back to the original position by using the array returned by WinGetPos.
    WinMove($hWnd, "", $aPos[0], $aPos[1], $aPos[2], $aPos[3])

    ; Wait for 2 seconds to display the original position of the Notepad window.
    Sleep(2000)

    ; Close the Notepad window using the handle returned by WinWait.
    WinClose($hWnd)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

; open firefox

#include <ff.au3>
_FFStart()

WinMove(_FFStart(), "", 0, 0, 400, 400)

; For window size 1024 * 768
$customWidth = 1024
$customY = 768
 
If $CmdLine[0] = 1 Then
    WinMove($CmdLine[1], "", 0, 0, $customWidth, $customY)
    _Middle($CmdLine[1], "")
EndIf
 
Func _Middle($win, $txt)
    $size = WinGetClientSize($win, $txt)
    Local $y = (@DesktopHeight / 2) - ($size[1] / 2)
    Local $x = (@DesktopWidth / 2) - ($size[0] / 2)
    Return WinMove($win, $txt, $x, $y)
EndFunc

and here i found some topics about resizing,

i'm not really good in coding the reason i still can't run it with firefox

 

thanks

You need to get the handle of the FF window. To do that, you can use _FFWindowGetHandle() --

#include <ff.au3>
_FFStart()

$ffhwnd = _FFWindowGetHandle()

WinMove($ffhwnd, "", 0, 0, 400, 400)

Im curious about what you mean with random size, do you really mean random? as in: anything between 0 and total width, and 0 and total height?

This works for me, as i think you described it

$Proc = Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
_Random()
Func _Random()
    WinWait('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]')
    Local $aPos = WinGetPos('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]')
    Local $Handle = WinGetHandle('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]')
    Local $x = Random(0, @DesktopWidth)
    Local $y = Random(0, @DesktopHeight)
    ConsoleWrite('$x - '& $x &' $y - '&$y&@CRLF)
    Sleep(3000)
    WinMove($Handle, '', $aPos[0], $aPos[1], $x, $y)
EndFunc

excellent  it works! it was just missing this part for testing the window control

$ffhwnd = _FFWindowGetHandle()

now i will try  Careca's code for the Random part  

thanks

EndFunc

 

excellent it works like a charm 

exactly what i was looking for, it took me a week trying to figure it out 

now i will just try to keep the resolution of the window at specific size  as in:  anything between 550 and 1280 width x 400 and 720 height
hope it will works

 thank you

here is the code for specific size as in:  anything between 1000 and 1330 width x 650 and 720 height
 

$Proc = Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
_Random()
Func _Random()
    WinWait('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]')
    Local $aPos = WinGetPos('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]')
    Local $Handle = WinGetHandle('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]')
    Local $x = Random(1000, 1360, @DesktopWidth)
    Local $y = Random(650, 720, @DesktopHeight)
    ConsoleWrite('$x - '& $x &' $y - '&$y&@CRLF)
    Sleep(3000)
    WinMove($Handle, '', $aPos[0], $aPos[1], $x, $y)
EndFunc
