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

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

Alters how long a script should briefly pause after a successful window-related operation

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=250)

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

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)
