Permanent if statement?

[Azu]

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything on it..

I'm wandering how I can make an if statement that will stay in effect the while time the script is running, and not hold up the script..

Like for example, if a certain window becomes active, minimize the window

And it would do it every time that if statement is fulfilled.. and in the mean time the rest of the script will run un-effected..

Can someone please explain to me how to do this? :S

Look up adlibenable in the help file. It will call a function every X milliseconds. You can have that function do whatever you want.

What about

$done = False
While Not $done
     WinWaitActive( "foo" )
     WinSetState( "foo", "", @WIN_MINIMIZE )
     WinActivate( "someotherwindow" )
; do whatever else
; set $done if we want to stop
WEnd

If you want to do other things in the meantime, launch it in a seperate thread, like http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23545.
