elite Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted June 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) 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!WinWaitClose? Or While WinExists('Window To Wait On') Sleep(10) WEndDo Sleep(10) Until Not WinExists('Window To Wait On')While 1 If Not WinExists('Window To Wait On') Then ExitLoop Sleep(10) WEndAnd 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. Edited June 22, 2006 by SmOke_N Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
