ERROR: _WinWaitActive(): undefined function.

[DukeRheum]

We have just begun working with AutoIT to try and compile some scripts. Using the AU3 Record tool, however, we seem to run into the same error regardless of what series of functions we record. The code never compiles due to the following, "ERROR_WinWaitActive(): undefined function." This is the repeated error we get whenver attempting to use the record tool. Perhaps you must intialize a destination folder in the beginning for the WinWait functions to operate properly, but I must say I am not quite sure what is causing this error. If anyone could offer any insight, it would be most appreciated. Thank you!

try to edit script and delite all _ in _WinWaitActive()

so use only WinWaitActive()

that is replace all _WinWaitActive( with WinWaitActive(

if it still dont work post the script that AU3 Record produced so that anyone can take a look at it

I tried removing them, but the error message is still returned just without the _ in the function. So, I now get "ERROR: WinWaitActive(): undefined function."

[bogQ]

post the script so that we can take a look at it

IIRC it is a bug in AU3Recorder. The recorded script has a function WinWaitActive but it misses the underscore in the name. Add the underscore to the function name.

Edit: I had this in mind but noticed that it is talking about the same error message but a different function - _AU3RecordSetup()

Looks like function WinWaitActivate is missing. Search the forum for this function and add it to your script.

[bogQ]

Func _Au3RecordSetup()
    Opt('WinWaitDelay',100)
    Opt('WinDetectHiddenText',1)
    Opt('MouseCoordMode',0)
EndFunc
Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text,$timeout=0)
    WinWait($title,$text,$timeout)
    If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text)
    WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout)
EndFunc
_AU3RecordSetup()

this shud go on top of the script, im not shure how you use recorder, from scite or from exe

but when you save script, edit it with scite and if its missing this lines on top of it, add them, then try to compile or run.

Edit

and now im confuzed to why your getting WinWaitActive() when command is WinWaitActivate, that 2 commands are diffrent things

I apologize. I was reading the error wrong. You're right. It was WinWaitActivate, not WinWaitActive. I went back to the scite, and I added in the code above the recording, and it seemed to work fine. Thank you both for your help!
