AutoEverything Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 First time AutoIt user, and I'm loving it. I am trying to automate a image processing problem within imaris. I am automating mouse and keyboard events. I'm at a point where I need to press a green run button for imaris to process the data. The data processing can take anywhere from a few seconds to 20 seconds. After the process is finish, I need to click another "finish" button. After the finish button is clicked, want to run more commands. How can I wait for the program to finish its computation before sending the final "finish" click? Is there a way to check that a program is busy or taking x% of CPU usage? When imaris is processing the data, everything in the program is grayed out (like every button is disabled). Is there a way to see if GUI widgets are disabled or not (now, I'm not 100% sure imaris is disabling anything) Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted March 5, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2016 AutoEverything, Welcome to the AutoIt forums. Quote When imaris is processing the data, everything in the program is grayed out I suggest you use PixelGetColour to look at somewhere on the screen that changes colour while the app is processing and wait for that pixel to regain its old colour at which point you should be ready to go.

Juvigy Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If you are sure that it takes 20 secs at most , put a Sleep(20000) and you are set. PixelGetColour is more complicated , but more accurate solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
