what happens if window not found

[manit]

hi ,

I have written a script to simulate keypresses and click on some windows 

The work is repetitive.

Here I activate 'foobar' and click on a place in it then press few down arrow keys . Then some keypresses in 'reboot' window ...

(1)It sometimes happen that am external window pops up taking focus away from action being performed by script . As a result ,say, 'reboot' window does not appear . How should I bring scipt to run from beginning (of while loop) again ?

(2)I used window info tool to find coordinates of place to click . Is it possible that window info tool keeps updating mouse coordinate even when I do not drag its finder ?

(3)I would also like to add functionality to do an action on window 'new IP' , if found , in the infinite while loop .

Please give directions.

Thanks.

I suggest - if possible - to not use Send but ControlSend. So windows popping up do not influence your script.
