Wait until a program is fully loaded


Recommended Posts

Hello AutoIt forums, I'm trying to execute a keypress combination after a certain program is fully loaded, by which I mean that it isn't acting as frozen to any user inputs. But so far, I haven't been able to find a reliable solution to do this, not even WinWaitActive seemed to work properly on this one. I've tried to solve it by using the sleep function, but the program takes a longer time to start if it's being started for the first time, and I want the action to take place as soon as it is ready, without the need to imprecisely guess the time it takes to load.

I thought of getting the memory usage of it and comparing it to a value in a while loop, but this didn't work as my attempt to get the memory by $Mem = ProcessGetStats("name") has failed, and it would also get a bit more complicated. If there is any reliable way to check whether a window is responding or not, I'd be glad to know it

I've tried to use this, but it didn't work:

Do
   Sleep(500)
Until _WinAPI_IsHungAppWindow ("X3TC") == 0

If I understood correctly, the $hWnd argument should be the window name, but it looks like I'm wrong.

I cannot use the ControlGetHandle method, since it isn't a windows program but rather a game, which has no text input upon startup, I just have no idea how to properly use your method on that.

Hyperion,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

it isn't a windows program but rather a game

Unfortunately you appear to have missed the Forum rules on your way in. Please read them now - particularly the bit about not discussing game interaction - and then you will understand why you will get no help and this thread will now be locked.

See you soon with a legitimate question I hope.
