Help needed to script

[CarstenThorsen]

Hi.

First: I am not a "script guy" but i think we can get great use of a script i have found.

The script auto closes a program if it is unsued for x seconds.

I have 2 challenges:
1: Is there a way to hide the counter in the upper left corner ?

2: I want to use the script on our Navision.
If the user have levt NAV while they have clicked deep into something, NAV says that you have to close whatever you have clicked into - and not close NAV. That is fine for me.
But the script keeps running, and every second a window will appear telling that something is open and working.
I just want that message to appear 1 time, and not every second.
Every second leaves thousands of messages i.e. if the user is in a meeting

 

The script as it is at the moment is:

 

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;2 = any substring
Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)

$S_running = "check-4-app" ;name the script
If WinExists($S_running) Then Exit
AutoItWinSetTitle($S_running)

$title = "Dansk Auto logik Drift - Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic"
$count = 0
While 1
    $state = WinGetState($title)
    $count += 1

    If $state = 15 Or $state = 47 Or $state = 0 Then $count = 0

    If $count > 10 Then WinClose($title)

    ToolTip("count = " & $count, 0, 0, "state = " & $state)
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

First things first, you shouldn't run any script unless you're pretty sure what each of the commands in it do. You appear to have limited to no knowledge of AutoIt, so I'll help you out. The tool tip function is what's creating the display of the count in the corner.

As for your second issue, you could introduce a boolean that check if the WinClose as been attempted.  Try to write it down, and let us know how it goes...

Thank you BrewManNH and Nine for your answers.

You are correct BrewManNH - my programming skills are closer to "none" than to "limited" 🙂

If i shoud take a wild guess of how the script should sound for the functions i request to work, it would be something like:

ToolTip("count = " & $count, 0, 0, "state = " & $state,hide)

And my wild guess for the script to stop counting if the stop window is there would be:

If $count = 10 Then WinClose($title)              I changed the > sign to =    I guess if the count is 11 or higher then it will not try to close - only at 10

Or you could simply remove the line ToolTip  

And you idea of changing > to = is perfect, good job...
