DrewSS Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Hello, I'm hoping to get some direction or suggestions... Question: is there any way to put a pause waiting on a popup window that has a dynamically generated ID name? For example, my script is meant to automate operations via NetOp Launcher, but once I put in my connection information it can take up to several minutes sometimes for the target system to connect; and to unfortunately, the name of the instance that opens is not static. Currently I am using Sleep, but this is not effective, and I have not been able to get WinWait to work with dynamic instance naming conventions. Is there any way to use wildcards or something? Thank you, Drew S
Solution BrewManNH Posted December 4, 2014 Solution Posted December 4, 2014 Use the window's classname instead of it's title. DrewSS 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

jdelaney Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Try this (if it's an actual popup, and not a new window): $hPopup = _WinAPI_GetWindow($hYourParentWindow,6) Consolewrite(WinGetTitle($hPopup) & @crlf) DrewSS 1 IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.
DrewSS Posted December 4, 2014 Author Posted December 4, 2014 Thank you both very much! Turns out it is a new window all together; completely new program that the NetOp Launcher calls, so not a popup! However, the Class name is exactly what I needed - I just did not know that was an option. Great success!
