hunsabre 0 Posted February 25, 2011 I need a resource friendly solution to wait for a window poping up from one of two applications. I don't know all the possible titles. I need to interpret the window from its title and its text and takes further actions upon it. I can not explicitly wait for a specific window with specific title. May some regexp should be used?

guinness 1,518 Posted February 25, 2011 Have a look at AU3Info to determine the Windows details/info and then look in the Help File for WinWait() or WinWaitActive() UDF List: _AdapterConnections() • _AlwaysRun() • _AppMon() • _AppMonEx() • _ArrayFilter/_ArrayReduce • _BinaryBin() • _CheckMsgBox() • _CmdLineRaw() • _ContextMenu() • _ConvertLHWebColor()/_ConvertSHWebColor() • _DesktopDimensions() • _DisplayPassword() • _DotNet_Load()/_DotNet_Unload() • _Fibonacci() • _FileCompare() • _FileCompareContents() • _FileNameByHandle() • _FilePrefix/SRE() • _FindInFile() • _GetBackgroundColor()/_SetBackgroundColor() • _GetConrolID() • _GetCtrlClass() • _GetDirectoryFormat() • _GetDriveMediaType() • _GetFilename()/_GetFilenameExt() • _GetHardwareID() • _GetIP() • _GetIP_Country() • _GetOSLanguage() • _GetSavedSource() • _GetStringSize() • _GetSystemPaths() • _GetURLImage() • _GIFImage() • _GoogleWeather() • _GUICtrlCreateGroup() • _GUICtrlListBox_CreateArray() • _GUICtrlListView_CreateArray() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveCSV() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveHTML() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveTxt() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveXML() • _GUICtrlMenu_Recent() • _GUICtrlMenu_SetItemImage() • _GUICtrlTreeView_CreateArray() • _GUIDisable() • _GUIImageList_SetIconFromHandle() • _GUIRegisterMsg() • _GUISetIcon() • _Icon_Clear()/_Icon_Set() • _IdleTime() • _InetGet() • _InetGetGUI() • _InetGetProgress() • _IPDetails() • _IsFileOlder() • _IsGUID() • _IsHex() • _IsPalindrome() • _IsRegKey() • _IsStringRegExp() • _IsSystemDrive() • _IsUPX() • _IsValidType() • _IsWebColor() • _Language() • _Log() • _MicrosoftInternetConnectivity() • _MSDNDataType() • _PathFull/GetRelative/Split() • _PathSplitEx() • _PrintFromArray() • _ProgressSetMarquee() • _ReDim() • _RockPaperScissors()/_RockPaperScissorsLizardSpock() • _ScrollingCredits • _SelfDelete() • _SelfRename() • _SelfUpdate() • _SendTo() • _ShellAll() • _ShellFile() • _ShellFolder() • _SingletonHWID() • _SingletonPID() • _Startup() • _StringCompact() • _StringIsValid() • _StringRegExpMetaCharacters() • _StringReplaceWholeWord() • _StringStripChars() • _Temperature() • _TrialPeriod() • _UKToUSDate()/_USToUKDate() • _WinAPI_Create_CTL_CODE() • _WinAPI_CreateGUID() • _WMIDateStringToDate()/_DateToWMIDateString() • Au3 script parsing • AutoIt Search • AutoIt3 Portable • AutoIt3WrapperToPragma • AutoItWinGetTitle()/AutoItWinSetTitle() • Coding • DirToHTML5 • FileInstallr • FileReadLastChars() • GeoIP database • GUI - Only Close Button • GUI Examples • GUICtrlDeleteImage() • GUICtrlGetBkColor() • GUICtrlGetStyle() • GUIEvents • GUIGetBkColor() • Int_Parse() & Int_TryParse() • IsISBN() • LockFile() • Mapping CtrlIDs • OOP in AutoIt • ParseHeadersToSciTE() • PasswordValid • PasteBin • Posts Per Day • PreExpand • Protect Globals • Queue() • Resource Update • ResourcesEx • SciTE Jump • Settings INI • SHELLHOOK • Shunting-Yard • Signature Creator • Stack() • Stopwatch() • StringAddLF()/StringStripLF() • StringEOLToCRLF() • VSCROLL • WM_COPYDATA • More Examples...

Carlo84 2 Posted February 25, 2011 Also check WinList() and WinGetProcess() :-) _SplashProgressImage | _Regionselector | _IsPressed360 | _UserAccountContol_SetLevel | _ListSubFolders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunsabre 0 Posted February 25, 2011 No. in runtime, I have no chance to check AU3Info. The script have to pause and have to analyze the next window content. Depend on the content makes several actions. i dont want to use a winlist comparisation in a while....end cycle to wait for the changed winlist status (new window appeared), because in consumes much more resource.

hunsabre 0 Posted February 25, 2011 e.g. $listofwindows[]=winlist() winwait("[PREGEXP: # not in the $listofwindows]") I can not code it to pregexp:( any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunsabre 0 Posted February 26, 2011 This one can manage the proble, but I not prefer such an infinite kidda loops: $var = WinList() $win1=$var[0][0] while $var[0][0]=$win1 $var = WinList() sleep(500) WEnd $last_tiltle=WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]") msgbox(0, "Window opened", $last_tiltle) the sleep(500) can reduce the near 50% processor load to ~1% during the running while...wend loop. the 500 msec still can be considered a real time apps.

Carlo84 2 Posted February 28, 2011 your posts are rather confusing me... but this waits till a visible window of a specified process-name exists and then returns the winHandle you should use in your scripts. $test = waitforWin('notepad.exe') MsgBox(64, 'Window found', 'wHnd = ' & $test & @LF & 'wTitle = ' & WinGetTitle($test)) Func waitforWin($processName) Local $pid, $lWin, $i While 1 $pid = ProcessExists($processName) If $pid <> 0 Then $lWin = WinList() For $i = 1 To $lWin[0][0] ; If Process of the window is same as the process your looking for AND window is vicible then return winHandle If WinGetProcess($lWin[$i][1]) = $pid And BitAND(WinGetState($lWin[$i][1]), 2) Then Return $lWin[$i][1] Next EndIf Sleep(50) WEnd EndFunc ;==>waitforWin _SplashProgressImage | _Regionselector | _IsPressed360 | _UserAccountContol_SetLevel | _ListSubFolders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
