Controlsend & stored handle

[c7aesa7r]

$key = "{a}"
$hwd = '0x001C1000'
$hwd2 = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:TFormMain]")

consolewrite("hwd  = " & $hwd & @CR )
consolewrite("hwd2 = " & $hwd2 & @CR)

ControlSend($hwd,"","",$key)
ControlSend($hwd2,"","",$key)

In the script above when i use ControlSend with handle (hw2) stored by WinGetHandle it work perfectly, and when i use ControlSend with the handle (hwd) stored in a variable it never works.

Don't want be rude, but im not looking for alternative ways to my script, i would like just understand why with hwd2 it works and hwd don't.

hwd is a string, not a handle

hwd2 is a handle

 

Thy this:

$h1 = WinGetHandle("[active]")
$h2 = '0x000504C8'
ConsoleWrite(IsHWnd($h1) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(IsHWnd($h2) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($h1=$h2 & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("" & @CRLF)

consoloutput is:

Use this to actually create a handle (with or without ' or ")

$hwd = HWnd (0x001C1000)

😸Gracias.

 

@Nine how can i call a value stored in var?  I tried execute,call.😳😳

I mean when $var be = 1 Then $x = carlos, $var be = 2 ,$ x = etc

$var = 0
$x = 0

If $var = 1 Then $x = carlos
If $var = 2 Then $x = bea
If $var = 3 Then $x = thaynara
If $var = 4 Then $x = pedro

While 1

$var = $var + 1
Execute($var)
ConsoleWrite($x & @LF)

WEnd

@c7aesa7r

Use Switch statement instead of If, and use the equal operator to assign a value to your variables.

Maybe you should read this post

[c7aesa7r]

@FrancescoDiMuro i have read the link you post, but im still dont understand how do it, i also look in help for switch

 

$var = 0
$x = 0

Switch $var

Case $var = 1
$x = 1

Case $var = 2
$x = 2

Case $var = 3
$x = 3

Case $var = 4
$x = 4

EndSwitch


While 1

$var = $var + 1
ConsoleWrite("var = " & $var & @LF)
ConsoleWrite("x = " & $x & @LF)
sleep(500)

If $var = 5 Then $var = 0

WEnd

 

I also tried:

$var = 0
$x = 0

While 1

$var = $var + 1

If $var = 1 Then $x = "carlos"
If $var = 2 Then $x = "bea"
If $var = 3 Then $x = "thaynara"
If $var = 4 Then $x = "pedro"

If $var = 5 Then ExitLoop

WEnd

While 1

$var = $var + 1
ConsoleWrite($x & @LF)
sleep(500)
If $var = 5 Then $var = 0

WEnd

Im trying $x have value according to actual $var number

@c7aesa7r

In the first script, you assign to $var the value of 0, then Switch it from 1 to 4 pretending to have some output, then you enter in an infinite loop which increments $var from 0 to 5, and resets it continuously when it reaches the value of 5, always printing $x = 0.

In the second script, you have a loop that stops as soon as $var reaches 5, but to the variable $x is assigned always the last value before exiting the loop ($var = 4), then you enter again in an infinite while loop where you continuously increment $var until it's resetted to 0 when it reaches the value of 5.

Then use Switch statement in an appropriate way, as it is showed in the Help file, and design a little bit of logic before write the script.

-Edit-

I did it, nothing with "Switch" @FrancescoDiMuro  thank you for your 'precious'  help, i dont know why people come in others post with no intention to help and only say go "look help file".

$var = 0
$x = 0

While 1

$var = $var + 1
Call("Sel")
ConsoleWrite("var = " & $var & @LF)
ConsoleWrite("x = " & $x & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(" "  & @LF)
sleep(2000)

If $var = 5 Then $var = 0

WEnd


Func Sel()

Select

Case $var = 1
$x = 1

Case $var = 2
$x = 2

Case $var = 3
$x = 3

Case $var = 4
$x = 4

EndSelect

EndFunc

That's because the Help file is the very first resource of Help from which you can see in details how to use a function, thanks for the example(s) included.

Why everyone should even waste his/her time to explain something that is already explained in details somewhere else? Lazyness?

you can also convert a string to handle via HWND function.  That's what I use to pass handles between scripts in command line execs.
