WinDetectHiddenText Specifies if hidden window text can be "seen" by the window matching functions. 0 = Do not detect hidden text (default) 1 = Detect hidden text WinSearchChildren Allows the window search routines to search child windows as well as top-level windows. 0 = Only search top-level windows (default) 1 = Search top-level and child windows WinTextMatchMode Alters the method that is used to match window text during search operations. 1 = Complete / Slow mode (default) 2 = Quick mode In quick mode AutoIt can usually only "see" dialog text, button text and the captions of some controls. In the default mode much more text can be seen (for instance the contents of the Notepad window). If you are having performance problems when performing many window searches then changing to the "quick" mode may help. WinTitleMatchMode Alters the method that is used to match window titles during search operations. 1 = Match the title from the start (default) 2 = Match any substring in the title 3 = Exact title match 4 = Advanced mode, see Window Titles & Text (Advanced) -1 to -4 = force lower case match according to other type of match. WinWaitDelay Alters how long a script should briefly pause after a successful window-related operation. Time in milliseconds to pause (default=250). Related Many!

AutoItWinGetTitle ( ) Parameters None. Return Value Returns a string containing the title of the AutoIt window. Remarks None. Related AutoItWinSetTitle, WinGetTitle Example $a = AutoItWinGetTitle() Function Reference AutoItWinSetTitle Changes the title of the AutoIt window. AutoItWinSetTitle ( "newtitle" ) Parameters newtitle The new title to give to the window. Return Value None. Remarks The AutoIt window is usually hidden. The purpose of changing the title is to allow other programs (or other AutoIt scripts) to interact with AutoIt. Related AutoItWinGetTitle, WinSetTitle Example AutoItWinSetTitle("My AutoIt Window") Function Reference BlockInput Disable/enable the mouse and keyboard. BlockInput ( flag ) Parameters flag 1 = Disable user input 0 = Enable user input Return Value Success: Returns 1. Failure: Returns 0. Already Enable or #requireAdmin not used. Remarks If BlockInput is enabled, the Alt keypress cannot be sent! The table below shows how BlockInput behavior depends on the Windows version; however, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del on any platform will re-enable input due to a Windows API feature. Operating System "BlockInput" Results Windows 2000 User input is blocked and AutoIt can simulate most input. Windows XP User input is blocked and AutoIt can simulate most input. See exceptions below. Windows Vista User input is blocked and AutoIt can simulate most input if #requireAdmin is used. See exceptions below. If you are using Windows XP then you should be aware that a hotfix released in between SP1 and SP2 limited Blockinput so that the ALT key could NOT be sent. This was fixed in XP SP2. Note that functions such as WinMove() or Send() will still work when BlockInput is enabled because BlockInput just affects user interaction with the keyboard or the mouse not what is done with AutoIt functions (aside from the exceptions in the table above). Related Send Example BlockInput(1) Run("notepad") WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") Send("{F5}") ;pastes time and date BlockInput(0) Function Reference Break Enables or disables the users' ability to exit a script from the tray icon menu. Break ( mode ) Parameters mode Sets the script break mode: 1 = Break is enabled (user can quit) (default) 0 = Break is disabled (user cannot quit) Return Value . AutoIt window is usually hidden.
