Show Window using Partial - bug?


Recommended Posts

This macro should hide Notepad and then show it again, but it fails, reporting in line 3 that the window cannot be found.

 

Window Hide: Notepad

Delay: 1 seconds

Window Show: 1 seconds: Notepad

Macro Return

 

<WINDOW HIDE Option="\x01" Title="Notepad" Partial="TRUE" Wildcards="FALSE" _IGNORE="0x0006"/>
<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="1"/>
<WINDOW SHOW Option="\x01" Title="Notepad" Partial="TRUE" Wildcards="FALSE" _IGNORE="0x0006"/>
<MACRO RETURN/>

 

To get correct operation it seems that although you can use the Partial option in the Hide command, in Window Show you have to specify Exact Match, like this:

 

Window Hide: Notepad

Delay: 1 seconds

Window Show: 1 seconds: Untitled - Notepad

Macro Return

 

<WINDOW HIDE Option="\x01" Title="Notepad" Partial="TRUE" Wildcards="FALSE" _IGNORE="0x0006"/>
<DELAY Flags="\x01" Time="1"/>
<WINDOW SHOW Option="\x01" Title="Untitled - Notepad" Partial="FALSE" Wildcards="FALSE" _IGNORE="0x0006"/>
<MACRO RETURN/>

 

BTW, note the other display bug that I've reported before: the spurious appearance of the delay details from previous commands, which occurs if you have toggled between Script & Direct Editor views.
