Wait untill object exist

[Wolfshare]

Hello everyone, i would like to know is that possible to make wait untill object will be active? I am talking not about win title, i am talking how to detect is that thing already active or not if there is no title on the software, or it has not been changing after some of actions.

It is very hard to explain, but i can show you example, there is VPN, after script connect to vpn, how they could kn ow that it's connected? if title has not changing after sucess connection?

I would use winwaitactive("title") but i cannot on my case.. Please help me with that

Get the handle of the window (prior to connection), then use the handle to loop until the title changes (fails/succeeds to connect).

WinGetHandle...the handle of the window will never change, even when the title does

Why not?

[Wolfshare]

Is there any examples? i would like to learn from examples.

[Wolfshare]

Why not?

Because in my example after sucess connection title has not changed..

I cannot set sleep(time) because sometimes it takes longer...

Yes, look at the help file under WinGetHandle as suggested. There are examples there.

Hey just tried WinWait("[CLASS:HMA! Pro VPN 2.7.1.7]", "Sucessfuly connected to VPN", 50)

But unfortunaly not sucess.. I dont know how to make script wait untill text "Sucessfuly connected to VPN" exist.. tried to change class, which i got from Autoit info.. but still not working.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

$hWin = WinWaitActive("part of title")

Do
    Sleep(1000)
Until StringInStr(WinGetText($hWin), "Sucessfuly connected to VPN")

MsgBox(0,0,"Yay")

Just tried, does not work.. You can see, i need to make it wait untill this exist..

Put the window info tool crosair over the static, copy all of the data from the 'Summary' tab, and paste back to the forum. If you get the handle of the window, and the handle of the static, you can probably use a loop of controlgettext until the data changes to what you need.

try this...let us know if you can get the text of the control

$hwnd = WinGetHandle("HMA! Pro")
If Not IsHWnd($hwnd) Then
 MsgBox(1,1,"not able to find the window" )
 Exit
EndIf
$hControl = ControlGetHandle ($hwnd, "", "[REGEXPCLASS:STATIC; INSTANCE:15]" )
If Not IsHWnd($hControl) Then
 MsgBox(1,1,"not able to find the control" )
 Exit
EndIf
MsgBox(1,1,ControlGetText($hwnd, "",$hControl ))

I want to make it wait untill text exist, i mean sleep untill win exist, tried your script, but it's only showwing msg.

[Wolfshare]

Now my code is:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <FF.au3>
global $clr
global $file
global $times
global $clr2
global $x
Local $x ;
$i = 0
$x = 0
$r = 0
$t = 0
While $i <= 10
Do
if not ProcessExists("HMA! Pro VPN.exe") Then
run("C:\Program Files\HMA! Pro VPN\bin\HMA! Pro VPN.exe")
endif
Until $x = 1


WEnd

then just want to wait it untill Sucessfuly connected to VPN exist.

[jdelaney]

I wanted to make sure you are getting the control, first.

Then you can loop through until the text is as expected:

$timer = TimerInit()
$bFoundText = False
While TimerDiff($timer) < 20000
 If ControlGetText($hwnd, "",$hControl ) = "Succesfully connected to VPN" Then
  $bFoundText = True
  ExitLoop
 EndIf
WEnd
If $bFoundText Then
 MsgBox(1,1,"VPN connected within 20 seconds" )
Else
 MsgBox(1,1,"VPN NOT connected within 20 seconds" ) 
EndIf

Sorry folks, it's hard to understand, i was tired then, so now i really want to learn that, i have writed my script on other software, but now want to re-make it on this one but still cannot make that function work propertly, i would pay for help, if anyone could teach me how to make wait untill text exist on any software then continue work..

[JohnOne]

i have writed my script on other software

Post the relevant code from "other software".

[Wolfshare]

Why not on the forum? So other people can help you?

Hi!

[JohnOne]

Perhaps wires are crossed, I thought you meant you had written code in another language.

What you sent is just Autoit code which appears to wait until a window exists.

Also for future reference "post" means show in thread, not PM.
