How to check if a control is hidden?

[mikephn 0]

I'm automating the execution of a program. When it runs it does its thing, and then presents the results. Unfortunately, the only clear indication that it finished is that a WindowsForm10.STATIC text saying "Scanning" becomes hidden. In Window Info I can see the text moving from Visible Text to Hidden Text. However, I don't know how to tell if the control is hidden or not. How would you do it?

Alternatively, I could check if a button that allows to progress further becomes active (it's grayed out when its scanning). Is that any easier?

Please have a look at "ControlCommand".

Example:

$iVisible = ControlCommand ( "Your window title", "text in your window (optional)", controlID, "IsVisible")

Returns 1 if Control is visible, 0 otherwise.

"IsEnabled" returns 1 if Control is enabled, 0 otherwise.
