xmanfit0 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) Hello, I've been stuck on a problem recently. I want to automate a series of programs that will do maintenance on my computer (clean, then defragment, etc.) I need some way of checking if one program is done, so that it may move on to the next. The defragmenting tool I am using is Defraggler. One way that I imagine will work is that, when Defraggler is done defragmenting, my script will know because a button appears in Defraggler that says "View Files...". I want it to then close so that another program can be then used. Au3Info gives me the Class and ID and whatnot of this button, but I don't know how to implement this info. TL; DR- How do I check to see if this control exists? What other ways can I achieve this effect? Edited October 31, 2010 by xmanfit0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 31, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2010 xmanfit0,I would do it like this. This code looks for the "Open this script" button in the AutoIt help GUI so you can check it - you would obviously have to change the parameters to match the button you are looking for: While 1 If ControlCommand("AutoIt Help", "Open this Script", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]", "IsEnabled", "") Then ExitLoop Sleep(10) ; Important or you eat all the CPU which will not help the defrag! WEndAll clear?
