How can you detect a pop-up window in AutoIt?

How can you detect a pop-up window in AutoIt?

would winactive("title") work for you?

[BALA]

Well I'm looking fro a way to detect a random window that pops up. So I wouldn't know the title.

[Bert]

can you be a little more specific? what type of random window? in a game, what?

[BALA]

By random, I mean random.

Any window that pops up on your screen.

How about an internet pop-up

Any window that pops up on your screen.

then:

CODE

If WinActive("ur program's title")<>"true" then

;w/e u need to do

endif

CODE

If WinActive("ur program's title")<>"true" then

;w/e u need to do

endif

Don't know how you got that quote (my computer is lagging intensely at the moment) but your code requires me to know the title, I don't know the title is the problem. Really i I need a command that will tell me the title of a window that pops up.

so ur script is going to be a background process?...

[BALA]

I suppose so, don't really see how that's relevant...

[Psibernetic]

because then u could set the WinActive to monitor whichever app u need to keep pop ups away from with the code I gave u... if $Whatever_u_need_active isn't active then (w/e u need it to do)

Ah, I see now. Sorry, didn't understand what "w/e" meant. Thanks

Might see where this takes you :

Global $aAllVisWin = ''
AdlibEnable('_GetPopUp', 100)

While 1
    Sleep(10000)
WEnd

Func _GetPopUp()
    AdlibDisable()
    If Not $aAllVisWin Then
        Local $aWL = WinList()
        For $iCC = 1 To UBound($aWL) - 1
            If $aWL[$iCC][0] <> '' And _
                BitAND(WinGetState($aWL[$iCC][0]), 2) Then _
                $aAllVisWin &= $aWL[$iCC][0] & Chr(1)
        Next
    Else
        Local $sTitle = WinGetTitle('')
        If $sTitle <> '' And _
            Not StringInStr(Chr(1) & $aAllVisWin, Chr(1) & $sTitle & Chr(1)) Then
            MsgBox(64, 'Info', 'Extra Window:' & @CRLF & $sTitle)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    AdlibEnable('_GetPopUp', 100)
    Return ''
EndFunc

Awesome, thanks too.

[SmOke_N]

Awesome, thanks too.

This could get quite annoying...

Anyway, you might think about giving an option to kill it / Add it etc...

Global $aAllVisWin = '', $sWins2Kill
AdlibEnable('_GetPopUp', 10)

While 1
    Sleep(10000)
WEnd

Func _GetPopUp()
    AdlibDisable()
    If Not $aAllVisWin Then
        Local $aWL = WinList()
        For $iCC = 1 To UBound($aWL) - 1
            If $aWL[$iCC][0] <> '' And _
                BitAND(WinGetState($aWL[$iCC][0]), 2) Then _
                $aAllVisWin &= $aWL[$iCC][0] & Chr(1)
        Next
    Else
        Local $sTitle = WinGetTitle('')
        If $sTitle <> '' And _
            Not StringInStr(Chr(1) & $aAllVisWin, Chr(1) & $sTitle & Chr(1)) Then
            If StringInStr(Chr(1) & $sWins2Kill, Chr(1) & $sTitle & Chr(1)) Then
                WinKill($sTitle)
            ElseIf MsgBox(262144 + 68, 'New Window Detected!', 'Window not recognized:' & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
                'Window Name:  --> "' & $sTitle & '"' & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
                'Would you like to kill it?') = 6 Then
                $sWins2Kill &= $sTitle & Chr(1)
                WinKill($sTitle)
            Else
                $aAllVisWin &= $sTitle & Chr(1)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
    AdlibEnable('_GetPopUp', 10)
    Return ''
EndFunc

Edit:

Revised it a bit more (didn't make it an option, you can do that).

Now if you kill the window, it's added to the do not allow list, so you won't keep getting the message box.

I built a popup blocker into my browser by using adlibenable on a function that just killed iexplore.... but of course if that kills ALL it's windows... so it may not work in your case.

[BALA]

Thanks for the help, but I really would rather script it myself,

[acidfear]

Is it possible to block out ip's with autoit? For instance, you make a file with all the ad links/converted to IP's and just have it so that if that IP connects, it won't let it or close it immediately.
