ProgramB - 3rd party program, has a small window pop up titled "Done Scanning". On this window, is a button, labeled "Done"

Can I have my script identify when the "Done" button is pressed on this other program? I don't have a clue where to begin on this...

Thanks in advance!

Try Window Info Tool.
With that find ControlSend,ControlGetFocus in help.

Is that going to let AutoIt know when the button is pressed by human rather than by AutoIt?

middae,

If you can ID the pop-up using the AU3 Window Info tool then you could always wait until the pop-up appears and then wait for it to vanish again when the "Done" button is pressed. WinWaitActive and WinWaitClose are there for exactly that!
