[Matt123]

What is wrong with this code?, It activates the program but doesn't move the mouse. please help, thanks.

if WinActive("Notepad") Then

Else Then
   WinActivate("Notepad")
   Sleep(5000)
   MouseMove(200,200)
 EndIf

Try:

If Not WinActive("Notepad") Then
    WinActivate("Notepad")
    Sleep(5000)
    MouseMove(200, 200)
EndIf

MattBrotz,

Welcome the the AutoIt forum.

But please pay attention to where you post - this section is used to discuss C++ or to ask the Autoit Developers detailed questions about the inner workings of AutoIt. This question is better suited to the "General Help" section - where I will now move it.

Your If statement is formatted incorrectly.

;correct way to add an Else statement
if WinActive("Notepad") Then
   Sleep(5000)
   MouseMove(200,200)
Else 
   WinActivate("Notepad")
   Sleep(5000)
   MouseMove(200,200)
EndIf
