DrewSS Posted December 4, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution BrewManNH Posted December 4, 2014 Solution Share 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 Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
