Wait for window to close

[elite]

I have a script that extracts data from a 3rd party database

Currently I just sleep for longer than I expect the extraction to take, but it would be nicer (and cleaner) if I could just wait for the window which states that extraction is in progress to close before moving on to my next command...

Any pointers would be really useful!

lol why don't you check out "WinWaitClose" in the helpfile?

WinWaitClose?

Or

While WinExists('Window To Wait On')
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Do
    Sleep(10)
Until Not WinExists('Window To Wait On')

While 1
    If Not WinExists('Window To Wait On') Then ExitLoop
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

And so on and so on, this waits in the loops until the window doesn't exist any longer.

Edit:

I can't remember if WinWaitClose() is in Beta or not... Guess you could always find out.

Edit2:

In the future if you feel your code may be buggy, it might be a good idea to post it and get some helpful insight how to fix things.
