Window Find bug ?

[Derek]

Can someone confirm this please:

<font color=blue>On Application Close
%hWnd% = Window.Find "Untitled - Notepad"
Result = Dialog.MessageBox "%hWnd%"
%PreventApplicationClose% = TRUE</font color=blue>

Test this without Notepad open and get Result = %hWnd%
Open notepad and Result = 6422722 etc.
Close notepad and Result still = 6422722

For your convenience:<font color=green>

Hello?? Anyone??

Is this a bug or by design?
[would be a bit strange if it was by design]

Re: Window Find bug ?

When I tried this, without Notepad open, is listed the variable as %hwnd%, but with it open it returns a value of 5384088. When I close notepad, %hwnd% is still set to 5384088. don't know what to tell ya.

Re: Window Find bug ?

The second time around, the Window.Find action fails, since no window with "Untitled - Notepad" in the title bar can be found.

When an action fails, the variable is left alone.

All you're seeing is %hWnd% still having the same value it used to.

Add a line like %hWnd% = "FOO" above those actions (to set a default value for %hWnd% first), and you'll see what I mean.

Re: Window Find bug ?

I just remembered. A variable will not change if the item is not found. So once the value from Window.Find was set to the %%hWnd% it remains that way until set differently. try this one.

ya beat me to it

Re: Window Find bug ?

I must be having a 'Writers Block' period in life and having a hard time with this one:

Actions follow the logic:

On Application Close -
%hWnd% = FOO
%hWnd% = Window.Find "Untitled - Notepad"
<font color=blue>IF [%hWnd% != FOO]</font color=blue>
%PreventApplicationClose% = TRUE
<font color=blue>ELSE</font color=blue>
Application.Exit
<font color=blue>END IF </font color=blue>

This works fine until I open Notepad. when I close Notepad, the runtime will not exit. Dropping in a msgbox tells me %hWnd% is now stuck on FOO after it showing as 3663373 [etc] when Notepad was open. Something isnt working right! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
I also tried the other way around [for the sake of it]:

<font color=blue>IF [%hWnd% = FOO]</font color=blue>
Application.Exit
<font color=blue>ELSE</font color=blue>
%PreventApplicationClose% = TRUE
<font color=blue>END IF </font color=blue>

... the runtime will not close.

Once %PreventApplicationClose% is set to TRUE, your application won't close until you set it back to FALSE. The Application.Exit is probably happening, but it's having no effect...
