Question:

Are we not able to put in an "If Not" Statement in a While loop? I cannot get the If Not to evaluate in this while loop.

I am putting a condensed version of the script. If you need more of the code, let me know.

*NOTE* this is an error checking script. So it checks for the error, and if it doesn't work, it loops until success.

While $ControlFocusReturn <> 1
            If Not $ControlFocus = $ButtonX Then 
            $ControlFocusReturn = ControlFocus ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX)
            $ControlFocus = ControlGetFocus ("Clear Activity")
            EndIf

            If Not $ControlFocus = $ButtonX Then 
            $ControlFocusReturn = ControlFocus ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX)
            $ControlFocus = ControlGetFocus ("Clear Activity")
            EndIf
        WEnd
        
    ControlCommand ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX , "Check", "")
EndFunc

Well the way you have it, it never checks the ControlGetFocus() if it wasn't true to begin with.

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.

Sorry for being misleading, I should have posted more of the code originally. Unless I am misunderstanding you, I think that it already was doing that.

However, shouldn't it still evaluate the If Not either way? As long as the ControlGetFocus ($ControlFocus) is not equal to $ButtonX, it still should evaluate the statement, right?

I always do...

If Not ($ControlFocus = $ButtonX) Then
Thanks, I made the change and I will start use this as standard practice. Sadly, this did not resolve the issue for me.

Any ideas why the 'If Not' will not run? The loop engages, but not the 'If Not'.

*NOTE* this is an error checking script. So it check for the error, and if it doesn't work, it loops until sucess.

if at the entry of the while loop $ControlFocus=$ButtonX and $ControlFocusReturn <> 1, the while loop will be infinite and the if not condition never met.

You have to put an else inside the loop to solve this issue

Interesting....

So then should it be this:

Func ErrorCheck_Check_Activity ()
    $ControlFocusReturn = ControlFocus ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX)
    $ControlFocus = ControlGetFocus ("Clear Activity")
            
        While $ControlFocusReturn <> 1
            ElseIf Not $ControlFocus = $ButtonX Then 
            $ControlFocusReturn = ControlFocus ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX)
            $ControlFocus = ControlGetFocus ("Clear Activity")
            EndIf
        WEnd
        
    ControlCommand ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX , "Check", "")
EndFunc

        WEnd
        
    ControlCommand ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX , "Check", "")

Do you think you will ever see the MsgBox? There's no condition to ever change the $y or the $x, just like in yours, you never ever check $ControlFocus so why should it keep going in there? Was it ($controlfocus) true before the loop or false? etc....

My suggestion would be to post a replica of your situation rather than us guessing to appease you. You would have had your answer the very first post more than likely, and been several hours on your way.

My apologies if ive not understood what you intend to do but I dont see the point of this code.

the code below should in theory do the same thing. It simply checks if it set buttonx as the focused control and tries again if it didnt. is that what your looking for?

Func ErrorCheck_Check_Activity ()

    Do 
    $ControlFocusReturn = ControlFocus ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX)
    Until $ControlFocusReturn=1

    ControlCommand ("Clear Activity", "", $ButtonX , "Check", "")
    
EndFunc
