Added by revision [8975] in version: 3.3.9.21

[guinness]

Thank you. I made changes that I felt were applicable.

So you remember, direct links aren't applied to the description or parameters section as these are used for calltips in SciTE etc.

[J-Paul Mesnage]

All description about Text in Control...() as default are wrong.
"" is not a default but a way to avoid checking for a specific text

[guinness]

Removed this reference in rev 8978.

[mlipok]

Replying to jpm:

All description about Text in Control...() as default are wrong.
"" is not a default but a way to avoid checking for a specific text

I understand that they are not only considered as a default in case the parameter is not [Optional]
so in other cases, the proposed text:

You can use "" an empty string, in order to avoid checking this parameter.

ps.
as I understand it, before adding my suggestions to the documentation, you try to immediately correct any mistakes my language :)

Replying to jpm:

All description about Text in Control...() as default are wrong.
"" is not a default but a way to avoid checking for a specific text

I think it is a special case: ControlGetFocus

ControlGetFocus ( "title" [, "text"] )

I meant description sorry.

I think it is a special case: ControlGetFocus

ControlGetFocus ( "title" [, "text"] )

If we add we have to change in all Win...()
The behavior is decribed in the Window Titles and Text (Basic)
Perhaps to put a "See Text special definition" as for the Title

do not understand the ControlGetFocus() remarks

[mlipok]

I understand that you mean more or less the description:

"
In some functions, the text parameter is not optional. If you do not wish to specify any text then just use "" (a blank string). A blank string, or nothing at all, in the text tells AutoIt That any text is valid.
"
of this part of the documentation: "Window Titles and Text (Basic)"

I think it would be a good way.
Currently, in fact, in the descriptions of function is not written to omit this parameter, nor is there any link.

The second thing:

You write:
"All description about Text in Control...() as default are wrong."

Generally this is true, but I think not for ControlGetFocus

ControlGetFocus ( "title" [, "text"] )
[optional] The text of the window to access.

unless I'm wrong

[J-Paul Mesnage]

Generally this is true, but I think not for ControlGetFocus

I disagree the second parameter follow the not checking. checking that is not working must be donz by checking @error.
The return does not mean failure.

If you read carefully the "Window Titles and Text (Basic)" the optional or not behavior is described but the page can be more clear on the behavior

However, the text and timeout parameters are optional. In some functions, the text parameter is not optional. If you do not wish to specify any text then just use "" (a blank string). A blank string, or nothing at all, in the text tells AutoIt that any text is valid.

[mlipok]

English grammar is quite significantly readjusted in relation to Polish, or vice versa.

In most cases, general conversation context is easy to grasp, but in some cases this is no longer so easy.

I mean the use of language such as specific programming, business, medical, technical.

So I have to intersperse in my head, your answer.
I will return to this TICKET for a few days, and either I agree with you entirely, or if you let me ask a final question.

best regards

@mlipok
Just proposed a better wording if the current one confused you

[mlipok]

your wording do not confuse me

The only thing that irritates me is the fact that 20 years ago, I could not learn the English language and as a result I have sort out the problems of international communication.
Public School learned another language (Russian), and at the time for private lessons for me, I could not afford my parents.

[mlipok]

Simply look at the examle to ControlGetFocus:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

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 control that has keyboard focus in Notepad. The handle returned by WinWait is used for the "title" parameter of ControlGetFocus.
    Local $sControl = ControlGetFocus($hWnd)

    ; Display the control that has keyboard focus.
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The control that has keyboard focus in Notepad is: " & $sControl)

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

how you see, there is

ControlGetFocus($hWnd)

with out using second parameter.

I was only in reference to your comments
Replying to 3 jpm:

All description about Text in Control ... () as default are wrong.
"" Is not a default but a way to avoid checking for a specific text

I pointed that it is more correctly stated as follows:

All description about Text in Control ... () as default are wrong, excluding ControlGetFocus, where Text is indeed optional.

[J-Paul Mesnage]

I agree that in case of using $hWnd the text can be a litte imprecise.
But if you use a tile as a string , text="" is legimitate.

So still I need your help to rephrase what confuse you in the help text.

Cheers
JP

[mlipok]

is "legimitate" ??? are you mean "legitimate" ?

I agree that in case of using the Text is bypassed.

from "Window Titles and Text (Advanced)"
"When you use a window handle for the title parameter then the text parameter is completely ignored."

but what happen when we not using $hWnd ?

so let's see

Run('notepad.exe')
WinWaitActive('[CLASS:Notepad]')
Sleep(100)
ConsoleWrite('TEST_1=' & ControlGetFocus("[CLASS:Notepad]") & @CRLF) ; "text" parameter not needed == parameter is optional and default = "" blank string

Local $sRegExp = '[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)(Untitled - Notepad|Bez tytułu — Notatnik)]'
ConsoleWrite('TEST_2=' & ControlGetFocus($sRegExp) & @CRLF) ; "text" parameter not needed == parameter is optional and default = "" blank string

Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Notepad]")
ConsoleWrite('TEST_3=' & ControlGetFocus($hWnd, 'alpha beta gamma') & @CRLF)

WinKill("[CLASS:Notepad]")

whats the results:

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /run /beta /ErrorStdOut /in "L:\TOOLs\Macro\test_ControlGetFocus.au3" /UserParams

TEST_2=Edit1
TEST_3=Edit1

so I steel correct your statement
"All description about Text in Control...() as default are wrong."
not all because
ControlGetFocus , is an "exception to the rule", it is a different case.

[mlipok]

ending...
I think all is clear,

Summary:

@Jpm
"Perhaps to put a "See Text special definition" as for the Title"

I still think it would be a good way to "..to put a "See Text special definition" as for the Title"

[J-Paul Mesnage]

Replying to mlipok:

"Perhaps to put a "See Text special definition" as for the Title"

I still think it would be a good way to "..to put a "See Text special definition" as for the Title"

So we will add a link pointing to the specific part of "Window Titles and Text (Basic)"
