Hi Scripters.
Wondered if any of you might have time/energy, if you would mind squizzing
through the below code, complete with some debug conditions, just to also show
I've been trying to do that,
and perhaps tell me if you see anything amiss with it? or even non-optimally
coded?
I'm getting intermittent and unreliable successful MoveToWindow results,
even though I'm getting 100 percent successful WindowFinds, and, this just
doesn't make any sense to me. I"ve worked for some time trying to get to the
bottom of it, with multiple to no pause statements etc, but, it's just not
seeming to be returning me reliable results.
When I seek to execute a few identical scripts as the below, obviously looking
for diferent handles, even though I well realize this code is not going to work
across multiple sessions, because it's only looking for literal handles, which
I realize change every program run,
but, I thought I should at least be able to get this much to work
successfully, before embarking on some more complex way of uniquely
finding/identifying the necessary window buttons I have to click on.
The control ID's are the same as the handles in this application.
So I guess if I take this method I'm eventually going to have to do some
totally never embarked on methodology of counting windows along at a certain
level or some such crazyness, but, for now, let's just work on this immediate
problem of why my moveToWindows keep intermittently returning unsuccessfully?
even though it's got a perfectly valid handle to work with? so far as I can
see?
So when I execute multiple identical scripts with hotkeys as the below,
many times I'm hearing the message, MoveToWindow not successful, even though it
reports that it finds the correct window handle after the first FindWindow
function.
and, the hTrunk has the same value, after the findWindow, whether the
MoveToWindow is successful or not!
it just doesn't make sense to me, why, if it's got the right window handle,
that it's reporting an unsuccessful moveToWindow!
But, when the MoveTo is unsuccessful, and I hear that message as in the code
below, the window text and name that it reads me, is indeed, the wrong window,
and the mouse remains in the wrong window too,
even though, it supposedly still has the handle of the correct window, that
it's supposed to be moving to!
So, I just don't get that!
The only thing I can figure that might be responsible for this,
, is that perhaps, this FindWindow function, doesn't do an absolute equals
reference, on the WindowName parameter? however one should express that? But
rather, perhaps it only does a StringContains type thing? because, all the
buttons/windows are the same class of TfcImageBtn, and the wrong window that
the mouse ends up in, when the moveToWindow returns 0, does contain, the
windowName string, of, say 801, in below script, that constitutes the entire
name, of the window it's supposed to be moving to.
I know this probbly doesn't make a lot of sense, maybe looking at the code will
be easier for people than following my hopeless explanation of the problem?
bottom line is, it's not reliable a lot of the time, and, if there's any stupid
logic errors I'm making, then, yeah, be absolutely helpful for me to know what
they might be.
One question about the below code I do have straight up, is, do I actually need
the separate hTrunk Handle to do what I'm wanting to do below? or is that
redundant/superfluous, and I could just happily keep reusing hwnd for
everything?
here comes the spagheti code, as a scripter lady I know would probably deem
this.
<smile.>
Script CheckTrunk801 () ; alt+1
; single click manually reports the Color status of the corresponding Trunk to
the number key pressed.
; DoubleClick Will execute a mouseClick on that Trunk.

; could I have used hwnd twice in the above line, and eliminated the need for
the secondary hTrunk? or not.
; and, does FindWindow do a totally equals value on the windowName string, or
does it only do a StringContains check?
if hTrunk == 395774 then

even though I realize this won't work as a final solution.
