Newbie question, help is appreciated

[shx]

$timeout = WinWaitActive("SomeWindow", "", 2);times out after 2 seconds

If $timeout = 0 Then MsgBox(0, "DEBUG", "Window timed out. Please contact the program administrator.")

This I was told was the way to find out if winwaitactive timed out or actually found the window.

My question is how would one do this if using AutoitX from vbscript.

Thanks

I'm not sure for VB, but for C++ it goes like this:

(the same as what you were describing)

//AutoItX Exported Function Declaration in the autoit3.h file:

//AU3_API long WINAPI AU3_WinWaitActive(const char *szTitle, /*[in,defaultvalue("")]*/const char *szText, /*[in,defaultvalue(0)]*/long nTimeout);

#include <autoit3.h>
int main(){
   long result = 0; //declare a variable to store the result
   result = AU3_WinWaitActive( "SampleTitle", "", 10 );
   if (result == 0){
       printf("Timed Out.");
   }
}
