Chaym Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi, When running my Auto IT test that loads an application, I have to wait for a specific screen to appear, like a Log on Screen. The application is written in .NET and I have no way to know When the screen appears in order to proceed log in and then to run my test. Is there a way to find out if the log in screen appears, By comparing it to an image of that screen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaym Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I know this option. On many occasions WinExists returns TRUE, While the GUI is not loaded yet. I need to verify (after WinExists) that the GUI is loaded in order to proceed testing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdelaney Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) It's good practice to wait for multiple states before attempting to perform action on a window. I use functions that not only check that a window exists, but also loops until a certain amount of states are found (wingetstate). I usually wait for Exists,Visible,Enabled. Same with grabbing controls, I loop until Exists,Enabled. This will help scripts run consistently.

Chaym Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Sure, I'm using too loops for a certain amount of time. If the time expires and there is no "Exists,Visible,Enabled...." I fail the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3ill Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Here is an example that might help This will run forever. If the regedit window exists it will popup a msgbox every second that it stays open, if you close regedit it will go back to looping and wait for it to exist again. While 1 If Not WinExists(WinGetHandle("Registry Editor")) Then ContinueLoop Else MsgBox(0, "", "Win now exists", 1) EndIf Sleep(50) WEnd Edited January 27, 2014 by l3ill My Contributions...
