Assistance of If... Then statement

[Protheus]

Hello all,

On our network we have several machines that are not on the domain - what I want to do is then when I send a software package to them it enters the network name in the run window and if a logon windows appears it fills in the logon information ortherwise it connect to the network drive.

So i created this scritp so far:

Send ("#r")
Send ("\\gandalf\software$\Standard Applications\Acrobat Reader 7\Acrobat Reader 7.exe {ENTER}")

If WinActive  ("Connect to gandalf.msi.cell") Then 
    MsgBox (64, "Test Networking", "Gandalf window is open")
EndIf

- So this opens the Run windows

- Enters the network name and press enter

- So as I am working offline I have to logon - so the logon windows comes up.

But now the message (as a sort of test) is not coming up

What is wrong so far ?

When in this type of problem, always look at what condition the If statment is testing... The window "Connect to gandalf.msi.cell" is not becoming active.

In other words try WinExist() for the test, and you can then call WinActivate() if the window exists

ARe you like able to add several lines of code in the Then statement like:

If ........ Then

do this

do this also

and do this afterwards

EndIf

You can have as many lines as you want.

Make sure to add a delay or loop in case the window doesn't come up right away.

Yes of course you can.

I hope you aren't in the IT dept there lol

Why don't you use a WinWaitActive function with a timeout? If it does not appear, then you can assume the network's not working.
