Getting the process ID using AutoIt.

11/01/2010 23:33 Starburst17#1

Currently I have to get the PID from memory and change the script on a per-login basis. Can anyone tell me why this AutoIt method isn't working:

Code:

$pid = WinGetProcess("[Conquer Online]")

WinGetProcess needs the correct window name/handle, are you sure the window name is [Conquer Online] ?

Try this just for a test.

Code:

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[Conquer Online]")

If WinExists($hWnd) Then
$vPID = WinGetProcess($hWnd)
MsgBox(0, "", $vPID)
Else
MsgBox(0, "", "Window not found")
EndIf

$vPID = WinGetProcess($hWnd)
MsgBox(0, "", $vPID)
Else
MsgBox(0, "", "Window not found")

Using your code outputs a PID for a process called "SciTE.exe" regardless of what text you put in "WinGetHandle("HERE")".

Edit: Using "$pid = WinGetProcess("[Conquer2.0]")" or even "$pid = WinGetProcess("[Conquer Online: Raiding Clans]")" worked flawlessly in the past. I think maybe "[Conquer Online]" is what is showing up in the taskbar and the actual process name is different. Why can't they just keep the name the same?

Try this one...

Code:

$hWnd = "[Conquer Online]"

If WinExists($hWnd) Then
$vPID = WinGetProcess($hWnd)
MsgBox(0, "", $vPID)
Else
MsgBox(0, "", "Window not found")
EndIf

This one worked like a charm. Now the only issue is "[Conquer Online]" isn't the process name. That said is there anyway one can get the exact name of a process using knowing the PID number.

Code:

$vPID = 1111 ; your PID here

$vRet = _PIDGetProcessName($vPID)

MsgBox(0,"",$vRet)

Func _PIDGetProcessName($vPID)
	$aProcesslist = ProcessList()
	For $i = 1 To $aProcesslist[0][0]
		If $aProcesslist[$i][1] = $vPID Then Return $aProcesslist[$i][0]
	Next
EndFunc   ;==>_PIDGetProcess

; returns = 0 (pid does not exist)

Returns "Conquer.exe". Tried making "Conquer.exe" the name in your code above to find the PID and comes back as before "window not found".

Conquer.exe is not a window.

I know it isn't. I want to find the window name of a running Conquer client. "[Conquer Online]" doesn't want to work so need to discover what that actual window name is.

Code:

$vPID = 3560

MsgBox(0, "", _ProcessGetWin($vPID))

Func _ProcessGetWin($vPID)
	$aWinlist = WinList()
	For $i = 1 To $aWinlist[0][0]
		If $vPID = WinGetProcess($aWinlist[$i][0]) Then Return $aWinlist[$i][0]
	Next
EndFunc   ;==>_ProcessGetWin

When I use the PID of the Conquer client it returns "0" but any other application is returns the proper window name. I might just end up needing to enter the PID and recompiling my script on an as-needed basis. Pretty much all I'm making is an auto-hp script that pots at a given health and automatically dose the XP skill for me.

It's a "Conquer Clicky" rip-off but programmed as a macro to pot and do xp skills. I could just use Joek's but his doesn't currently auto-pot and I've been sent to botjail twice with his macro. So kinda want to play it safe and use something I know wont land me in the slammer.

cant you just use active window prolly not the best method but always worked for me.
something like...

PHP Code:


			
MsgBox(4096, "Get PID","Select the CO window you wish to use then click ok")

Sleep(1000)

GetPID()



Func GetPID()

    $pid = WinGetProcess("[ACTIVE]") .......

blah de blah...

I could give that a whirl :P.
