"Window not found" error at runtime but not when run in QM

[zandar]

Hi,
my macro find a window, activates it and then executes some keyboard and mouse activities on its controls.
It works fine when run in QM, or when the exe is run in QM from the output window right after making it, but it fails when it's run by double clicking the executable from its folder. In the output window I can see the message:
"Error (RT) in arruola:  window not found (the handle is 0)."

the macro code is:

Code:

Copy      Help

int w=win("[A-Z]{6}\d{2}[A-Z]\d{2}[A-Z]\d{3}[A-Z]" "FNWND3115" "millewin" 0x200)
act w
0.2
key SF4         ;; MAIUSC+F4
0.2
key v70.5       ;; V 7 0 . 5
key Y           ;; INVIO
/etc...

Could you give me a hint on what's going wrong?

Many thanks

Try to run as administrator. Does it work then?

[zandar]

Maybe this function can help to debug this.

Function OutWinList

Code:

Copy      Help

;Shows handles classnames and names of all visible windows in QM output.

out
ARRAY(int) a
win "" "" "" 0 "" a
int i
for i 0 a.len
,outw2 a[i]
out a.len

If this list is generated by the exe launched from explorer, then win should find the window, and I don't know why it doesn't.
I tested with notepad, and it works.

Macro Macro2976

Code:

Copy      Help

int w=win("" "Notepad")
_s="Giulia  26-01-65   < 0 esenzioni >  ABGGLI65A64B157R - 488AP924  [DR GRG ZN]"
_s.setwintext(w)

Macro Macro2971

Code:

Copy      Help

;/exe

int w=win("[A-Z]{6}\d{2}[A-Z]\d{2}[A-Z]\d{3}[A-Z]" "notepad" "notepad" 0x200)
outw w
act w

;BEGIN PROJECT
;exe_file  $my qm$\Macro2971.exe
;END PROJECT

Then I run the exe from explorer, and it finds the window.
