WinWaitActive with window elements are not fully visible?

[NewBieAuto]

The windows load complete like this:

But if I use WinWaitActive ['TITLE'] ,  When the following window show, the code already running

So, how to wait until the complete windows load?

Thanks all!

Its alot easier to help you when you show what exactly you trying to do.

but somehow you might try this

Do
Sleep(1000)
Until WinWaitActive("Title")

While WinWaitActive("Title")
Msgbox("","", "Finished")
ExitLoop
WEnd

You could simply wait until a specific field appears.  (ex : see ControlGetHandle)

Synchronizing is probably one of the most complex things in automating GUI flows

" how to wait until the complete windows load"  depends on application and your definition of "complete windows load" 

• Find an element you can sync on
• See if the cursor is changing from hourglass to pointer
• ....

Some functions that can help in this (but maybe a sleep 5000 is enough on the short term)

4. UIA functions
5. WebDriver functions if its HTML
6. sleep nnn milliseconds

you can use Control Command to Check if Button or Edit etc . if is Visible:

example:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 438, 192, 124)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 88, 136, 81, 33)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 224, 104, 65, 41);button2
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_HIDE)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
     Local $state = ControlCommand($Form1, "", "Button2", "IsVisible", "");check if Button2 is Visible
     if  $state = 1 Then
        ;
        MsgBox(0,"","Loaded")

        EndIf
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
         Case $Button1
            GUICtrlSetState($Button2, $GUI_SHOW)
    EndSwitch
WEnd
