script for when window appears do this..

[marauder]

Hey. Is there a way to make a script look for when a window is CREATED? I have a simple script which continuously looks for if a window is there and performs an action, but this of course is repeated while the window is active. I only want it to do something when the window is CREATED.

Thanks

You could do something along these lines:

Edit: Removed. Larry's speak is better. Or you might try something like:

while (1)
    winWait("title", "text")
   ; my instructions here
    winWaitClose("title", "text")
wEnd

or if you want your script to do other things when the window doesn't exist you might want to look into using AdLib

Thanks a million guys! By the way, Larry, I've only asked 1 other question on this forum before which was about a year ago and you were also the first to reply then with an answer. Nice work!!
