Doubt in "If"

[Mecrazycoder]

Hi friends,

I wrote a script like

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",-2)  
If (( ProcessExists("firefox.exe") or ProcessExists("iexplorer.exe") ) And (WinWaitActive("Hotmail") or WinWaitActive("Google") or WinWaitActive("Gmail")) )Then
MsgBox(0,"","Got it")
EndIf

.It works fine for hotmail window alone.When i open some other window like Gmail(comes second or so) it doesn't produce the output.Please help.Only works if first window is active.

Because it uses WinWaitActive, it will wait until the window "Hotmail" comes up, before it tries to wait for the "Google" and "Gmail" windows. (The expression is evaluated left to right)

Use WinExists instead of WinWaitActive in a loop.

Yeah i know that but problem is when hotmail is active it doesn't show the output.Can you please try the script

WinWaitActive function waits for the window to become active. AutoIt only has one thread. So the interpreter will do this:

If (( ProcessExists("firefox.exe") ; < == Check if firefox exists, return 1 or 0

) or ProcessExists("iexplorer.exe") ; < == Check if iexplore.exe exists, return 1 or 0

And (WinWaitActive("Hotmail") ; < == WAIT FOR HOTMAIL TO EXIST AND DO NOTHING ELSE UNTIL IT ACTUALLY EXISTS

or WinWaitActive("Google") ; < == WAIT FOR GOOGLE TO EXIST AND DO NOTHING ELSE UNTIL IT ACTUALLY EXISTS

or WinWaitActive("Gmail")) )Then ; < == WAIT FOR GMAIL TO EXIST AND DO NOTHING ELSE UNTIL IT ACTUALLY EXISTS

This is how you solve it:

Use WinExists instead of WinWaitActive in a loop.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
While 1  
   If (( ProcessExists("firefox.exe") or ProcessExists("iexplorer.exe") ) And (WinExists("Hotmail") or WinExists("Google") or WinExists("Gmail")) )Then
      MsgBox(0,"","Got it")
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
Wend

Hey the reason is simple.. You have put "iexplorer.exe"..make it "iexplore.exe"

Hey the reason is simple.. You have put "iexplorer.exe"..make it "iexplore.exe"

That too.

Make it:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
While 1  
   If (( ProcessExists("firefox.exe") or ProcessExists("iexplore.exe") ) And (WinExists("Hotmail") or WinExists("Google") or WinExists("Gmail")) )Then
      MsgBox(0,"","Got it")
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
