Hi All,

I have written a script in Autoit to automate a trivial task which is repetitive.

But i facing some difficulties with my my code.

In my code i need to detect a popup window on a GUI and depending on that i need to perform some actions and proceed further.

Can anyone advise  on "how to i detect a small pop up window on a GUI"

Thanks in Advance

esahtar90,

How does this popup distinguish itself from any other window on-screen? Does it have a specific title? Or some identifiable text? :huh:

Once you have someting unique to identify the popup you can use WinExists to detect it. Or perhaps even WinWait if you have no actions to take until it appears. :)

My fave route is:

$GW_ENABLEDPOPUP = 6
_WinAPI_GetWindow($hOwner, $GW_ENABLEDPOPUP)

If there is a popup created by $hOwner (handle to your parent window), it will return a valid HWND (which will be the popup)

Then you can Use WinGetTitle, WinGetText to logically determine which popup it is, and have a script to do some required action on it...I do this by using arrays of expecteced controlid's to manipulate against the title/text.

As you find more of these popups, you would only need to add them to the array.
