If statement not working AutoIT - autoit

I am having trouble with the code I am writing. I have a table which lists staff member details. I am trying to have an email address copy to the clipboard when you select a record and right click. I have the following code:
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <mssql.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
global $title = "E-Mail address lookup"
global $name = InputBox($title,"Please type the name of the person you wish to find")
global $sqlCon = _MSSQL_Con("server", "username", "password", "directory-plus")
global $result = _MSSQL_GetRecord($sqlCon, "autoit_view","*", "WHERE cn LIKE '%" & StringStripWS($name,3) & "%'")
if StringLen(StringStripWS($name,3)) < 1 then
MsgBox(0, $title, "Name cannot be empty")
Else
Global $rset = UBound($result) - 1
Global $ControlID = GUICreate($title, 500, 150)
Global $idListview = GUICtrlCreateListView("Deparment|E-Mail Address|Name|Telephone Number", 10, 10, 480, 150)
for $count = 1 to $rset step 1
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($result[$count][0] & "|" & $result[$count][2] & "|" & $result[$count][1] & "|" & $result[$count][2], $idListview)
if MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT)==1 Then
ClipPut($result[$count][2])
EndIf
Next
GUISetState(#SW_SHOW)
GUISetState()
While 1
Global $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $Msg
Case -3, $ControlID
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd
EndIf
I would have thought my IF statement within the for loop would do the trick but, when I run my code, it just copies whatever is in email address column in the last row when in fact I want it to copy the email address when you right click on a particular row but I'm not sure how to do it.

Your code has two major problems. The first is that MouseClick() doesn't check for the mouse button being pressed, but instead sends a mouse button click. Since sending a mouse button click is going to succeed, MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT)==1 will evaluate to true. For each list view item you create, you are putting the email address on the clipboard.
The second problem is that the if statement is in the wrong place. It's executed just after you create each list view item.
Instead, change your While statement as follows
While 1
Global $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $Msg
Case -3, $ControlID
Exit
case $GUI_EVENT_SECONDARYDOWN
$selecteditem=StringSplit(GUICtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($idListview)),"|")
if #error=0 and $selecteditem[0]>1 Then
ClipPut($selecteditem[2])
EndIf
EndSwitch
WEnd

Close windows in reverse order of creation

I have a program with a main window and multiple other windows and want to use autoit to close these windows. The main window however refuses to close if other windows of the program are open and creates a warning message.
To avoid this, I want to close the other windows first.
Because of the way the program is written, the windows are NOT in a parent-child relationship, so I cannot use "EnumChildWindows" in "user32.dll".
So my other option would be to obtain the order or time the windows were created at, and close them in reversed order. Is there any way to do this?
You can try to get it by the process. The function below will return the z-order of the windows, as far as I know, without you tracking the "creation time" of the windows themselves from within your own code, you won't get a solution that can do that.
#include <WinAPIProc.au3>
#include <WinAPISys.au3>
#region - Example
Global $gahWnd[3]
For $i = 0 To 2
$gahWnd[$i] = GUICreate("Example " & $i)
GUISetState(#SW_SHOW, $gahWnd[$i])
Next
Global $gaExample = _WinGetByProc(#AutoItPID)
If #error Then Exit 2
Sleep(3000) ; so you can at least see the windows were created
; windows are returned in the "last z-order"
; so they'll be returned "Example 2, Example 1, Example 0"
; This makes it easy to close all but the first one
; use -1 to keep the first window created
For $i = 1 To $gaExample[0] - 1
ConsoleWrite("Closing: " & $gaExample[$i] & ":" & WinGetTitle($gaExample[$i]) & #CRLF)
WinClose($gaExample[$i])
Next
Global $gaMsg
While 1
$gaMsg = GUIGetMsg(1)
Switch $gaMsg[1]
Case $gahWnd[0]
Switch $gaMsg[0]
Case -3
Exit
EndSwitch
Case $gahWnd[1]
Switch $gaMsg[0]
Case -3
GUIDelete($gahWnd[1])
EndSwitch
Case $gahWnd[2]
Switch $gaMsg[0]
Case -3
GUIDelete($gahWnd[2])
EndSwitch
EndSwitch

autoit3 - trigger context menu to open on button click/press

I am working on a project, in which I decided I should have history of previously searched stuff (since it's an app with which you can search stuff), so I have been thinking that I could just create the context menu or regular menu, that I could somehow force to activate on a button click or by using accelerators.
Now, I haven't been able to figure out how to make that work.
First I tried the GuiCtrlSetState() function, which didn't seem to work (I tried show and focus), then I tried accelerators and they didn't do anything.
So I'm wondering is there any way I can make the context menu or regular menu pop up on button press/click or key press (with accelerators)?
So what I'm basically trying to do is some sort of a pop-up, you click on a button or press a key to trigger the context menu or regular menu to open.
I know I could be old school and use a new GUI or just a combo box for the history or anything but I kinda want this, if there's any way to do so.
Any help, or an alternative way of doing the same thing appreciated.
Here's the testing code in which I was trying to make the test button trigger and activate the context menu, and I have tried the same with the regular
menu: 
#NoTrayIcon
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
GUICreate("test123")
$but = guictrlcreatebutton("test", -1, -1, -1)
$xt = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu("test context menu")
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("test1", $xt)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("test2", $xt)
GUISetState(#SW_MAXIMIZE)
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
If $msg = $but Then
GUICtrlSetState($xt, $GUI_FOCUS)
EndIf
Sleep(5)
WEnd
If you check the help file under GUICtrlCreateContextMenu:
; right click on gui to bring up context Menu.
; right click on the "ok" button to bring up a controll specific context menu.
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Local $idNewsubmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("new", $idContextmenu)

Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 100, 100, 70, 20)

AutoIT WinWaitActive doesn't uderstands that window is active

I want to get pixel color from a game and react.
So I have this sript:
#include <Color.au3>
Local $pause = False;
$WinName = "Game" ; Let's say there is a game with this name =)
$hwnd = WinGetHandle($WinName) ; Checked handle with powershell and Au3Info, handle is correct
local $res
Opt("PixelCoordMode", 2);
HotKeySet("{F10}", "exitNow");
HotKeySet("{F11}", "Pause");
While 1
;WinWaitActive($hwnd) ; The script stops here if it is uncommented no matter if window is active or not
if ( $pause ) Then
$res = GetPos();
ConsoleWrite ( StringFormat ("Result color: %s %s", $res[0], $res[1] ) )
Sleep (1000)
EndIf
WEnd
Func exitNow()
Exit
EndFunc
Func Pause()
$pause = Not $pause
EndFunc
Func GetPos()
local $var = Hex(PixelGetColor(5, 5, $hwnd)) ; Only works in windowed mode, FullScreen return some random colors like 00FFFFFF or 00AAAAAA
$var = StringTrimLeft($var,2) ; Removing first 2 numbers they r always 00
local $var1 = Hex(PixelGetColor(15, 5, $hwnd)) ; Only works in windowed mode, FullScreen return some random colors like 00FFFFFF or 00AAAAAA
$var1 = StringTrimLeft($var1,2) ; Removing first 2 numbers they r always 00
local $result[2] = [ $var, $var1 ]
return $result
EndFunc
Main script should before window is active and only then should try to GetPixelColor but that never happens, no matter what I do, i've tried WindowActivate still no result.
a) - What am I doing wrong ? Or may be there is another way to check if window is currently active ?
So at the moment I start script disabled, and when I activate window manually I press F11 to enable.
b) - PixelGetColor only works if game is running in Windowed mode, if it's a fullscreen mode result is unpredictable. Is there a way to make PixelGetColor work in fullscreen.
I've tried to run game x32, x64, DX9 and DX11 in different combinations Fullscreen result is just wrong.
ADDED:
Now While looks like this and that works :)
Thanks to Xenobeologist!!!
While 1
$hwnd = WinGetHandle('[Active]');
If ( $pause ) Then
If WinGetTitle($hwnd) <> $WinName Then
Pause()
ContinueLoop
EndIf
$res = GetPos();
ConsoleWrite ( StringFormat ("Result color: %s %s", $res[0], $res[1] ) )
Sleep (1000)
Else
If WinGetTitle($hwnd) = $WinName Then
Pause()
ContinueLoop
EndIf
EndIf
WEnd
a) is now solved
b) is still not solved. One more thing, topic of this question doesn't say anything bout this question, should add info bout this into the topic or it's better to start a new thread? a) was my main question, it would be prefect to solve b) as well but I can live without it. As far as I understood it's much more complicated. What do you think?
ADDED2:
As far as I understand problem b) can be solved by using more complex code. Here http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/63664-solved-imagesearch-failure-wdirectx-fullscreen-gamewin7/ was discussed pretty same problem. It's AHK and ImageSearch function, but im pretty sure that the reason I get wrong colours in fullscreen is the same. I don't want to complicate code that much and PrintScreen is too slow so I'll use windowed mode and wont be bothering with b).
Does this help?
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
$handle = WinGetHandle('[Active]')
ConsoleWrite('!Title : ' & WinGetTitle($handle) & #CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('!Process : ' & WinGetProcess($handle) & #CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('!Text : ' & WinGetText($handle) & #CRLF)
Sleep(Random(10, 3000, 1))
If WinActive($handle) Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "WinActive" & #CRLF & "Scite ")

Subscript Dimension Error When Dynamically Creating Buttons in AutoIt

I'm writing an AutoIt script to make GUI buttons by looping through an array of button definitions.
It's a script that I'll be adding/removing buttons to/from quite often, so I thought a loop makes sense. I add the button handle, button text, and function name to bind the button to an array called $buttons. The button parameters are saved to a row of the $buttons array as a pipe delimited string.
Func make_buttons()
local $i = 1
Local $bHandles[Ubound($buttons)]
_arraydisplay($bHandles)
For $button In $buttons
local $params= StringSplit($button,"|")
local $top = $i*40
local $left = 10
local $width = 100
Global $bHandles[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton($params[1],$left,$top,$width)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($bHandles[$i],$params[2])
$i = $i+1
Next
EndFunc
I'm getting this error on execution:
Global $params[1] = ^ERROR
Error: Missing subscript dimensions in "Dim" statement
Any help clarifying what the error means is appreciated.
Update
#Sachadee's answer below clued me along to the fact athat I had been using the Global keyword to declare the handle variable to GuiCtrlCreateButton() while trying to use a variable as the name. Leaving off the Global keyword helped me eliminate the error I was receiving. My final button creation lines of code worked as this:
Func make_buttons()
local $i = 1
For $button In $buttons
local $params= StringSplit($button,"|")
local $top = $i*40
local $left = 10
local $width = 100
Global $handle = $params[2] & "_handle"
$handle = GUICtrlCreateButton($params[1],$left,$top,$width)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($handle,$params[2])
$i = $i+1
Next
EndFunc
Edit :
You're defining an array structure Local $bHandles[Ubound($buttons)] with the place for [N] elements. But you're not defining the content of this array. And then you're trying to redefine it with another value with the Global:
Global $bHandles[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton($params[1],$left,$top,$width).
Here's a better way to do it :
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
Global $AllButtons[4] = ["3","Button1","Button2","Bouton3"]
GuiCreate ("Title", 120, 200)
$Btn_Start = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
For $i = 1 To $AllButtons[0]
local $top = $i*40
local $left = 10
local $width = 100
GUICtrlCreateButton($AllButtons[$i],$left,$top,$width)
Next
$Btn_End = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
GUISetState ()
While 1
$Msg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $msg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $Btn_Start To $Btn_End
MsgBox(0, "Test", GUICtrlRead($Msg))
EndSwitch

Autoit: Creating a Function?

I have a GUI that records the list of all the chm in a folder. When 'RUN' button is clicked, it will open the first chm in the list until so on. Then I have created a function that should expand the tree.
My problem is my function, it works until MsgBox() and stops there. When I ran my program there is no error indicated.
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiListBox.au3>
#include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
;GUI
$guiTitle = "Automation"
GUICreate($guiTitle, 250, 430)
Global $hWnd = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:HH Parent;TITLE:AutoIt Help]", "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]")
Global $hChild = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstChild($hWnd, 0)
Local $source = InputBox("Source Folder","Please enter the source folder","")
;InputBox
If #error = 1 Then
Exit
EndIf
If #error = 4 Then
Exit
;GUI_List
Else
$add = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show", 10, 53, 230, 20)
$picList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 78, 230, 300)
$run = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run", 170, 385, 70, 30)
GUISetState(#SW_SHOW)
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $msg
;add
Case $add
Global $FileList = _FileListToArray($source, "*.chm")
If #error = 1 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "No Files Found.")
Exit
EndIf
If #error = 4 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "No Files Found.")
Exit
EndIf
For $i = 1 To $FileList[0] ;List_IFIX Pictures
GUICtrlSetData($picList, $FileList[$i])
Next
;run
Case $run
If _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($picList) = 0 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "No Files Found.")
Else
For $i = 1 To $FileList[0]
If Not WinExists("AutoIT Help]") Then
ShellExecute($source & "\" & $FileList[1])
_Expand($hWnd, $hChild)
EndIf
Next
EndIf
;exit
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
EndSwitch
WEnd
EndIf
And here is my function:
Func _Expand($hWnd, $hChild)
WinWaitActive("AutoIT Help")
MsgBox(0,"","Expand")
While 1
$hChild = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNextChild($hWnd, $hChild)
If _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($hWnd, $hChild) = "Tutorials" Then ExitLoop
WEnd
_GUICtrlTreeView_Expand(ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:HH Parent;TITLE:AutoIt Help]","", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]"),$hchild, True)
EndFunc
Lots of problems with the code.
Check your titles! In two cases you have got the window title spelt incorrectly in your example. AutoIt is spelt with a lowercase t, and window title matching is case sensitive unless you set an option otherwise.
If "Tutorials" is not found then you will loop forever. You should add a check after _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNextChild to see if you've reached the end of the treeview.
But the real problem with your code is that you are setting $hWnd and $hChild at the beginning of the code, before you run the process that creates the window. As a result, the window is not found, and so $hWnd will always be NULL when you call _Expand.
This sort of question is not encouraged on stackoverflow. We like questions which will be useful to other people in the future rather than help with specific code. Before asking questions like this in the future, please try and debug the problem yourself. You could add ConsoleWrite statements through the code showing variable values, which would have shown you that $hWnd didn't have a handle value when you enter expand, from there it is obvious.
