I see why your name is 'epic fail'.

[epicfail]

well im trying to learn u have to start somewhere u know thats why im on the forum to ask 4 help cos i dont know how to do this.

[jvanegmond]

Most people understand after being explained in 10 different ways.

I also asked you to provide a full working script that reproduces the issue. Don't just paste your own script and expect help.

if i had a full working script i wouldnt have any probs so i wouldnt need to ask 4 help

You're a downright idiot and you totally don't deserve this.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$hWnd = GUICreate("Epic fail")
$startscan = GUICtrlCreateButton("Begin scanning for notepad.exe", 10, 10)

GUISetState()

Dim $scan = False
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $startscan
            $scan = True
            GUICtrlSetState($startscan, $GUI_DISABLE)
    EndSwitch
    
    If ($scan And ProcessExists("notepad.exe")) Then
        $scan = False
        GUICtrlSetState($startscan, $GUI_ENABLE)
        MsgBox(0, "","Bingo! Injecting the code! :D:D")
    EndIf
WEnd

AutoIt is a single thread app. When you use processwait, the script will pause until the process exist. Do you see the word "WAIT" in the command??? If you do not understand what the word "Wait" means, learn to use a dictionary.

What ever you do, don't complain that you want it anyway and ask again to get someone to get it to work. Keep this crap up and surly as the sun will come up in the morning a moderator will take a giant dump on you. Now cut the bullshit and do what the other coders suggested. If you feel that everyone is wrong, then just do everyone a favor and stop annoying us. geeze.
