GetActiveWindow in Citrix problem

dglancy · Post by **dglancy** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:37 pm

I am running MS ver. 9.0.053 in citrix. GetActiveWindow seems to be inconsistent in returning the full window title. I am running the GAW command in a loop looking for a new window to appear.

here is the end of the log file:

Setfocus fails because the actual window title is
Microsoft Excel - Worksheet in Procedures and Safety 2009

any thoughts?

Use:

SetFocus>Microsoft Excel -*

Sorry, I did not explain this very well. I am using the GAW command to account for different windows that may open, excel, word, etc...

Setfocus>active_1 is the command line that at times has the full window title and at other times has a partial window title.

According to your log file active_1 can only ever have a full window title.

that is what I thought also, but it doesn't always. I do have a jpeg of the screen when the setfocus command failed. Not sure where to store it for your access, if that would be of help.

GAW could at times be getting an invisible or minimized window. SetFocus will return an error if it fails saying window does not exist. Did you get this? Have you tried setting WF_TYPE?

Added in WF_TYPE=2

same problem. Here is the log file and script. Basically, just going through a list of records on screen, opening each record which can have different titles and looking to see if there is a new window open.

Notice that the last setfocus> command below appears to have a null value.

Another issue. I just noticed that the editor is not updating the script file on the server when I make changes, exit and do a file save. Although when I did a file >saveas with a new file name, the new file did have the edited changes.

this modification to the subroutine seems to work. I just test for a null value.

srt>test_for_new_screen
label>look_again
GetActiveWindow>active_1,x1,y1,,
if>%active%=%active_1%
wait>2
goto>look_again
endif
if>%active_1%=
wait>2
goto>look_again
endif
setfocus>%active_1%
end>test_for_new_screen
