hey hi

i want to use winwait on some time limit and not on title can i do that ?? i mean to say winwait("250") something like this, could anyone help me on this

Hi,

you may use the timeout parameter:

WinWait ( "title" [, "text" [, timeout]] )

or just a simple sleep () meets your requirement.

means just timeout with winwait will also do??

see basically i am downloading a file but i dont know how much time it will take, and once it downloads i have to open that file, this can happen only after the file is downloaded completely, so how do i manage that time difference ??

Hi,

depending how the download works:

1) If file size grows by time, just compare file size on source and target in a loop.

Do
    sleep (250)
Until FileGetSize ($target) >= FileGetSize ($source); you might use InetGetSize if you download from url

2) If you use another program for download, check with processexists in a loop if download is ready.

$pid = ProcessExists ("mydownload.exe") 
While $pid <> 0
    sleep (250)
    $pid = ProcessExists ("mydownload.exe")
WEnd

3) Try to open the file in read mode. If failure, wait.

$file = FileOpen ("myfile", 0)
While $file = - 1
    sleep (250)
    $file = FileOpen ("myfile", 0)
WEnd
FileClose ($file)
