A message box (#32770) that doesnt always display

[simpleraison]

Hey guys quick question, im loving autoit so far learning lots and suprisingly excelled at it considering i have no experience in it at all. There is one thing i need some help on though, sometimes i process that is run displays a prompt box if a condition is met by the process, but a condition isn' always met by the process so the prompt box is not always displayed. I just wondered whats the best way for me to interact with the box if it appears if not carry on with the rest of the autoit script, is it a loop of somesort? Any help would be greatyl appreciated peeps! :-)

This is the code i am using to currently:

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:#32770]", "", 1000000000000000000000000000)
ControlClick("", '', 'OK')

So at the moment the code waits for the box to appear/active and then it clicks ok and moves on to the rest of the process. How do i encapsulate this with the code you provided?, so that this is only executed if the box appears and if it does not it just carries on, because as i said the box doesn't always appear only sometimes depending on the data.

If WinExists("your title") Then
   ;your code
Endif
;your other code

[simpleraison]

If WinExists("your title") Then
   ;your code
Endif
;your other code

Thanks for this i think that it will work a treat, im just adding it to the code now! Dude how do i add a time into that for the script to wait before going into the then statement? I only want about 15 seconds as i know that box doesnt take that long to come up?

Ok just added it like this:

If WinWaitActive("[CLASS:#32770]", "", 10) then
ControlClick("", '', 'OK')
Endif

So used WinWaitActive instead of WinExists! Does that look right John?

Its as easy to test as it is to answer.

Get into the habit of testing your code.

Oh and i just changed it back to WinExists as its probably better then WinWaitActive as that will be waiting for the window to become active and thats not always the case! I hope im right!

Just make a little script to run alongside and use as your test window, its no big headache.

sleep(8000)

guicreate("GUI")
guisetstate()
while 1
     Sleep(10)
wend

put and exit function in it.

Or simply use a notepad window or something.
