DarkCloud Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Hello, im new to autoit and I wanted to start off with something small. I have this little program on my computer that pops up with a "Buy it now" popup. It's not a real popup, its like a little box that just pops up in the exe. I want autoit to scan for the window, then close it. WinWaitActive() I figured that statement would wait for the window to become active. but how do i close it, and how do i do a loop properly? yes im a newb... flame away =D Thank you all for viewing, and especally thanks to the people who try to help!
AutoChris Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) First, please be more descriptive in your title.Second, use the AutoIt Window Info Tool to find out the real title of the window (sometimes has leading spaces) and the control names. Then you can use something like ControlClick("Window Title", "", "Button1") to close the pop-up after you use the WinWait("WindowTitle") to look for the window.<edit>However, the best thing to do would be to use AdAware and/or SpyBot S&D to search for whatever malware/crimeware/spyware is on your computer making the pop-up in the first place.

And usualyl when i run the program im not at the computer.I know how to control click, but the "X" button at the top right does not have a control name..So what would I do in this situation?
hearurscream Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 When it becomes active, kill it with WinKill(). Infinity is a floorless room without walls or ceiling.Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.
DarkCloud Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 WinWaitActive(Buy Now!) WinKill(Buy Now!) How do I loop this? Also, Does WinWaitActive mean its active?? Can it be minimzed or not selected for the winkill to take place?
theguy0000 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 no, it means it will wait until it is actually active. Change the WinWaitActive to WinWait if you need it to work when not selected. The cake is a lie.www.theguy0000.com is currentlyUP images.theguy0000.com is currentlyUP all other *.theguy0000.com sites are DOWN
hearurscream Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Try This while 1 if winexists("Buy Now!") Then WinKill("Buy Now!")

NELyon Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) Maybe this will help you: Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) $WinTitle = "Buy Now!" ;change this to the title of the window While 1 If WinExists($WinTitle) Then Do WinKill($WinTitle) Until Not WinExists($WinTitle) EndIf Wend Edited January 5, 2007 by D-Generation X
Helge Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) Pauses execution of the script until the requested window is active.Couldn't have been explained any clearer in my eyes, so what's to be confused by ? Edited January 5, 2007 by Helge

Whats "Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)" do???
hearurscream Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 The Mode 2 of that option says that it will match any substring in the title. So if the title has trailing spaces or weird characters before or after it, it will still recognize the window.

hearurscream Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Try mode 3 instead of 2: Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3) Infinity is a floorless room without walls or ceiling.Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human.
