Checking static in a program to automate another

[khaosnmt]

I work for my college campus' radio station

I have one program that allows our DJs to go live which relies on the state of the software that controls the AutoDJ, so I want to check when the AutoDJ client shows "You have 15 seconds to connect before I take back over..." on Static4, but I haven't had much luck getting it to work. I have all of the AutoDJ client stuff automated, but I can't get the part that reads the Client window working correctly. (Granted, that part has been piecemealed from other code that I found through Google...   ) 

 

When Static4 says that, I need to send Mixxx Ctrl+L ("Enable Live Broadcasting"). I have included a screenshot, my AutoIT code and the Window info below.

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Mixx Instructions", "When the Radiobot Client window shows ""You have 15 seconds to connect before I take over..."", click Options->Enable Live Broadcasting", 30)

Global $Waiting = True

; your GUI loop
While (1)
    If $Waiting And WinExists("RadioBot Client 3.0/Win32") Then
        $sText = ControlGetText(WinGetTitle("[CLASS:#32770]"), "You have 15 seconds to connect before I take back over...", "[CLASS:Static; INSTANCE:4]")
        If $sText Then
            ; we got the text, so we know we can go live
            ; now do whatever you need to do
            $Waiting = False
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd
WinActivate ("Mixxx 1.11.0")
Send("^{L}")

What exactly can you not get to work?

ControlGetText?

If so try...

If StringInStr(WinGetText("[CLASS:#32770]"), "You have 15 seconds") Then
    ;whatever
EndIf

That is working, but now it is infinitely sending the CTRL+L keyboard shortcut. I'm assuming it's because I have it in that loop. How can I make the loop stop after that "You have 15 seconds..." actually appears?

(Also that post from GCarslaw is spam. I can't seem to find a "report" button anywhere.)

first off, i like the song playing in your screen shot.

does Static4 only show when it has 15 seconds? or does it count down?

$sText = ControlCommand("RadioBot Client 3.0/Win32", "", "[CLASS:Static; INSTANCE:4]", "IsVisible", "")
if $sText = "1" Then  ;visible

It counts down. It counts down every 30 seconds until it hits 30 seconds remaining, and then counts down every 5 seconds until it hits that "You have 15..." message.
