win window if statement

[Medic873]

i am looking for a if statement on the WinWaitActive statement

so i can do somthing like this

if WinWaitActive("google"){

send ("hello");

send ("{enter}");

and then

if WinWaitActive("windows security"){

send ("{tab}");

send ("{enter}");

if you can help me with this that would be great

winwaitactive is to pause the script until the specified window is the active window on your desktop.

I think you are looking for

if winactive("google") then

send("hello")

ect.

endif

to use winwaitactive would be:

winwaitactive("windows security")

send("{tab}")

ect.

You want to do something while you're waiting for the window to come up? That's basically what that's saying. Do you just want it to wait for the window to be active before continuing? If so, try this:

WinActivate("Google")
WinWaitActive("Google")
Send("Hello{ENTER}")

okay all said was a great help but this type of thing still isnt working

if winactive("google") then
    winwaitactive ("google")
send ('{tab}');
send ('{tab}');
send ('{tab}');
send ('{tab}');
send ('{tab}');
send ('{tab}');
send ('{tab}');
send ('{tab}');
send ('{tab}');
send ('{enter}');
sleep (200);
endif
if winactive ("Security Information") then
    winwaitactive ("Security Information")
sleep (200);
send ('{enter}');
endif

I belive im using the end if function wrong cause i want it to keep reading down the script so is there somthing that isnt end but somthing that will end the if statement but keep reading or maybe im using this wrong..

Thanks for your help by the way.

if you have the if winactive you do not need the winwaitactive because the window will be active

I'm not sure I quite understand what you're trying to accomplish but I think you may need to loop your winactive checks.

I've added a while 1... which is going to loop your active window check perpetually... you will need to add a way to break the while loop later I'm guessing.

I've also changed you tab lines to send('{tab 9}') which will tab 9 times then press enter... same functionality but cleaner looking.

Hope this helps.

While 1

if winactive("google") then
    winwaitactive ("google")
send ('{tab 9}{enter}')
sleep (200)
endif
if winactive ("Security Information") then
    winwaitactive ("Security Information")
sleep (200)
send ('{enter}')
endif

wend

He's right, if you're doing this with the window on top, you don't really need WinWaitActive().. if you want to wait for the window to finish loading the page... You're going to have to use IE if you aren't already. I think you can use StatusBarGetText() to rea if the page is 'Done.' loading or not. Another thing you could look at (fairly advanced) if the _IE.au3 UDF. it's sorta confusing to use, but it automates IE very well.

Anywho, StatusBarGetText() to detect when the page is done loading:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

While 1
    WinWaitActive("google")
    While 1
        If StatusbarGetText('Internet Explorer') = 'Done' Then ExitLoop
        Sleep(50)
    WEnd
    Send('{tab 9}{enter}')
    Sleep(200)
    WinWaitActive("Security Information")
    While 1
        If StatusbarGetText('Internet Explorer') = 'Done' Then ExitLoop
        Sleep(50)
    WEnd
    Sleep(200)
    Send('{enter}')
WEnd

If StatusbarGetText() doesn't or isn't = 'Done' you could try StringInStr(StatusbarGetText('Internet Explorer'), "Done"))

Suppose that you've opened IE

if WinActive("Google - Windows Internet Explorer") Then
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{TAB}")
send("{ENTER}")
sleep(200)
else
if WinActive ("Security Information - Windows Internet Explorer") Then    
WinWaitActive("Security Information - Windows Internet Explorer")
sleep (200)
send ("{ENTER}")
Endif

Be sure to place the whole TITLE

[mistersquirrle]

In my example it sets the win title mode so that it just matches anything in the title. And if the window is selected and in the foreground, it does much matter. He could just leave it blank.
