Set Window Focus

[ravindram]

I am trying to use AutoIt to somewhat automate an installer. Unfortunately the script gets paused because the window will show up but it is not active. Here is my script:

 

Run (setup.exe)
;Bring window into focus
WinActivate ("Patterson Imaging - InstallShield Wizard", "&Next >")
;Wait until window is in focus to continue script
WinWaitActive ("Patterson Imaging - InstallShield Wizard", "&Next >")
;Welcome screen
Send ("!n")
;License Agreement
Send ("!n")
Sleep (7000)
;License Key
Send ("!n")
Sleep (7000)
;License Type
Send ("!n")
Sleep (7000)
;Image Server Name
Send ("!n")
Sleep (7000)
;Summary
Send ("!n")
;Install
Send ("!i")

 

I can see the window when setup.exe launches, but i need to click on it once to have the script continue. What am i doing wrong?

You might try WinWait (Pauses execution of the script until the requested window exists) just before the WinActivate

Looks like that did the trick. Thanks!
