[Phoenix-pm] newbie

[Jonathan K. Smith]

Specifically I'm having problems trying to get GuiTest to find the proper window.  In fact I have been unable to get FindWindow to return any value.  Additionally I the Win32::GuiTest::SendKeys is hanging I think, cause it doesn't execute that step until after I manually close the application I am trying to sendkeys to.  Here is my test script as it stands now.  It opens the application correctly, but then just hangs.  @window remains empty and ^p is send to STDOUT.  The error says that FindWindowLike requires an additional parameter, but all examples I've seen are in the format that I've used.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Win32::GuiTest qw(:ALL);
$Win32::GuiTest::debug = 1;
chdir "Originals";
my @ptxFile = glob(<*>);
system ("C:\\Windows\\etrnview.exe @ptxFile");
my @window = FindWindowLike (0,"^BEACH,BOBBY");
print @window;
Win32::GuiTest::SendKeys("^p");

print "\n\nEnter <Return> to continue:";

Uh... no clue on the site. It'll probably be up when Scott has a few free hours.

As for support, there is probably someone you could talk to, but the only person I know who has used any of the Win32 GUI type modules is Doug, who is now incommunicado. You should ask the whole list. 
*Someone* must have used them. (I'm a mac guy, myself, and all my perl is cmdline or CGI.)

In fact, let's just throw this out to the list right now. Anyone used
Win32 stuff and want to help out a newbie?

Good luck!
