Final Solution that worked 100% Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 0) While 1 WinWaitActive("Retail Merchant", "Receipts") ;restricted to only run at the first page with receipt in the name If WinActive("Retail Merchant", "TenderPage") Then Call (_HotKeys) Sleep(100) Else Call (_ClearHotKeys) Sleep(100) EndIf Sleep(200) WEnd Thanks Water for the very helpful bit of code, a simple command. Of course this revealed that my coding was inherently flawed and I needed to adjust it before the hot keys became disabled upon leaving the final page.

Because the hot keys are active the moment the receipt page is visited, which has a hidden text value of TenderPage but it is not listed under visible text until the final receipt page is visited. This is the text I used on the second while command and the loop activates early.

Hi this is my first time asking for help, I usually find a solution online but this one has stumped me. I am working with a business retail software and I have noticed a very annoying feature with the software, it doesn't matter what window or tab I am on the hidden text is almost always the same because the more tabs I visit the number of hidden text items grow, which pretty much eliminates the usefulness of the text portion of winwaitactive("title", "text"). Is there a way that I can use only the visible text in identifying a window/tab? The reason I need this to work is because I have a while loop that is intended to only activate the hotkeys on the final page of the software. While 1 WinWaitActive("Retail Merchant","") ;no text here because the software in open While WinWaitActive("Retail Merchant","visible text") Call("_HotKeys") Sleep(200) WEnd Sleep(200) WEnd Or is there any other way of identifying a page with a unique value that doesn't change upon reloading the system or software? Thank you
