Hi,

I have the following code

Code:

COM_Init()
psh := COM_CreateObject("Shell.Application")
psw := COM_Invoke(psh, "Windows")
Loop, % COM_Invoke(psw, "Count")
pwb := COM_Invoke(psw, "Item", A_Index-1)
locationname := COM_Invoke(pwb, "LocationName")
IfInString,locationname,%gbssite%
{
wasfound := 1
uid := COM_Invoke(pwb, "hWnd")
WinActivate, ahk_id %uid%
}

COM_Release(psw)
COM_Release(psh)
COM_Term()

if(wasfound != 1)
{
GoSub, gogb
}

using com_ahk obviously.

Now the funny thing is that it works correctly on my computer, that is to say if the Window I'm looking for was found then it activates that window, and if it doesn't it goes to the sub gogb which basically starts up IE and loads a site.

Great, but when I put it on someone else's computer it always goes to the sub.

The value of the url is in an ini file, but it is the same value between the two computers.

wondering if anyone has encountered a problem like this before and what the solution was?

Your "Loop" doesn't loop, it only checks the first window

Code:

COM_Init()
psh := COM_CreateObject("Shell.Application")
psw := COM_Invoke(psh, "Windows")
Loop, % COM_Invoke(psw, "Count")
{
pwb := COM_Invoke(psw, "Item", A_Index-1)
locationname := COM_Invoke(pwb, "LocationName")

IfInString,locationname,%gbssite%
{
uid := COM_Invoke(pwb, "hWnd")
WinActivate, ahk_id %uid%
COM_Release(pwb) ; Don't forget to release the pwb
GoSub, gogb
Break
}
else
COM_Release(pwb)
}
; falls thru at the end of the loop to the CleanupCOM subroutine

CleanupCOM:
COM_Release(psw)
COM_Release(psh)
COM_Term()
Return
