Someone emailed today saying they were having problems trying to automate Internet Explorer 11 because it didn’t seem to have a window title. <\/p>\n
Actually IE11 does<\/strong> have a window title. Each tab has a different window title. But you don’t see the title in the main title bar of the application.<\/p>\n By default applications show the window title in the title bar. Hence it’s name. But some apps manipulate the appearance of their title bar so that it doesn’t look like a regular Windows title bar. Indeed some apps have all borders removed so that you can’t SEE the title bar. But in all cases, the window will still have a title (unless it’s an empty string!).<\/p>\n So if you can’t see the window title, how do you find out what it is? Well, with Macro Scheduler<\/a> there are several ways to find it. One is with the View System Windows Tool, which shows a list of all the windows currently available on the system, showing their captions and class names. Another is to use the Code Builders.<\/p>\n Here’s a video demonstrating these two methods. It also shows how I use a substring window match:<\/p>\n
