My window title changes.

[ranjit]

Hi.

I'm using WinWaitActive () method in my script.

I'm facing problem here.

WinWaitActive () needs the title of the window. What if my window's title changes dynamically? This is where I have the problem.

The main window of my application changes when the application is in process.

In the process many times I need to wait for the main window to be active.

As the window title changes dynamically, I'm not able to proceed with script even if the expected window is active using WinWaitActive ().

Only the begining part of the window title static.

can anybody give me a soluntion for this?

thanks,

Ranjit.

hmm, does it switch between know titles, i mean like "ready", "not ready" , "Continue" and so on.. or is i just dynamic with all kind of names?

Two things come to mind. First, you say the beginning of the title stays static... the default title match will match on the beginning of the string, so just use the static part (also see Opt(WinTitleMatchMode) )

Second, you can consider using WinGetHandle when you know you can match the title string and then use the handle returned in place of the title in future operations... e.g.

$winHandle = WinGetHandle(the-current-title)

...

later

...

$WinWaitActive($winHandle)

Hope this helps,

Thanks Dale,

I could do it with 'Opt(WinTitleMatchMode) '.

It won't help you any further because the default does what you want it to. Just suggesting you get familiar with it because it was related to what you were trying to do.
