AHK_ControlGet_problem

[inseption86]

I can't get Controlget, but if I run Windows Spy, then everything is OK. https://youtu.be/8f2wadETBVY

Code: Select all

DetectHiddenText, on
DetectHiddenWindows, on

IfWinExist, ahk_exe Launcher_Main.exe
{
    ControlGet, OutputVar, Visible,, pushButtonRecordMovie, ahk_class QWidget 
    MsgBox % OutputVar
    return
}
else
 ExitApp

The control names seem to start with "QWidget" or have names other than "pushButtonRecordMovie".

why does my script work when I just run win Spy

From viewing the video, it appears that the MsgBox is 1 after you have pressed both the recording button and the other button on the left. Otherwise, the MsgBox is 0 or null, I think.

I didn’t finish writing the video a bit, before opening WinSpy, I also pressed the buttons in the window, but the Msgbox was empty

I don't think that the issue would have anything to do with Window Spy itself. It might instead relate to the buttons that you are pressing.

If I were debugging this, I would use the control name shown in Window Spy, and would test by pressing one button at a time, rather than two. If it does not work, you could try Acc. viewtopic.php?t=40590
