Need help with WinGetTitle

[Mod edit: Topic moved to v2 help.]
I'm trying to get the window title of the active window, but my script returns nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Code: Select all
#UseHook 1
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 4
global windowtitle := ""
f3::
{
global
windowtitle := WinGetTitle("A")
}
f4:: {
global
MsgBox windowtitle
}

What you posted would not work in v1, which is the part of the forum where you posted and what your past posts look like you use. WinGetTitle is not a function in v1. It's a command. Look at the docs -- the proper version of the docs for the version you're using -- and follow the syntax shown.

But OK in v2 if you're trying that.
Code: Select all
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
windowtitle := ""
F4::MsgBox windowtitle
F3:: {
Global windowtitle := WinGetTitle("A")
SoundBeep 1500
}
Some windows may not have a window title.

I'm using V2 and I can't get a title from anything.

Ok, solved it. Problem was the scope. Initialized the variable I was trying to use as a global inside my hotkey, and it worked.
