winamp start up with volume control

[cyanidemonkey]

I found this AutoIt code on another forum when looking at a way to start WinAmp and setting the volume.

I have WinAmp 2.95 installed but it always has the pop up saying Winamp not found.

The winamp forums said that winamp v1.x to v2.x uses a class name 'Winamp v1.x'

Any ideas why it is not detecting WinAmp?

Using AutoIt v3.2.0.1

;There must be a problem with your VB code (I don't know enough to help you there).

;Here's how the program is written in AutoIt:

Const $WM_USER = 0x400

Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 4);Sets the mode to 'classname=*' titlematch

$WAhandle = ControlGetHandle("classname=Winamp v1.x", "", 0);Gets the Winamp Handle
If @error = 1 Then
MsgBox(16, "Fatal Error:", "Winamp not found.")
Exit
EndIf

$input = InputBox("Enter Volume:", "Please enter the volume you wish to set" &@CRLF&"(0 - 100%):")
If $input >= 0 AND $input <= 100 Then
DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $WAhandle, "int", $WM_USER, "int", ($input*255/100), "int", 122) 
;Set the Volume to $input * 255 / 100
Else
MsgBox(16, "Fatal Error:", "Value entered is not valid.")
Exit
EndIf

Check the classname with au3info.exe located in the same folder as autoit3.exe

Also don't winamp have shortcut keys to adjust the volume? alt+arrow or something. You could use those and send the keyboard command directly to the top window. Guess that one would be easier to detect than the volume control.

Checked it with au3info.exe, the class name is correct (Winamp v1.x)

The reason for this is beacuse it is part of an automated start up, and I want to make sure the volume is set to 50%.

(Part of an LPFM radio station set up, so the level must be correct)

You may want to take a look at the Winamp Automation Library I started.

Works fine for me Winamp 5.31 using autoit beta v3.2.1.12.

My winamp classname is:

Class: Winamp v1.x
