Trying to understand Winactivate

[picorico2]

Hi there!

I a noob. I´m tring to open, move and resize a PDF document window but I can´t bring a windows to the  front using Winactivate, and since every document has a different name, I don´t fully undestand the "title" and "text" options.

Pls help

 

Here is my code:

 

WinActivate ("[CLASS:Afx:00007FF793120000:8:0000000000010003:0000000000000000:00000000018D025D]")

WinMove ("", "Nitro Pro", 28, 0,  1340, 858)

So if you open the PDF and then use the AutoIt Window Info tool (located in the same directory where you installed AutoIt), it should give you the title:

For example (I am using PDFXchange Viewer for PDFs):

 

Alternatively, if you have a large number of PDFs open, you could use WinList() and then filter by the title found.

Thank you JLogan3o13   for the early response,

 

Can you please give me an example how to use it? What I want is to activate a PDF window so I can move it to a certain position,  ej.   the thing is that it´s going to have a different name file everytime it opens. The code is the same as above. In the meantime I´ll try to play with Winlist.
