detecting changes in an inactive window

[Grantson]

Hello

Im wondering if its possible using auto it to monitor a window for example a telnet session or command prompt running a ping so that when a specific text trigger occurs the script can either notify via a message box or bring the window to the front

Thanks

Grant

if the windows info tool supplied with AutoIt can see the text you want, then WinGetText should do what you want. (Personally I would go with the msgbox option so you don't inedvertantly type in the command console by accident if it gets brought to the front.)

thanks, will dig out the info tool and try it out
