Advanced WinWaitActive reading text in a window?

[finbom]

Hi!

I am writing a script that run some commands in a rumba-window (as/400 terminal session).

My script works fine and im using sleep to pause between every screen change.

But this does not work all the time becuse sometimes a screen change can take very long time.

So I would like Autoit to read text in the terminal window to know when to continue.

And I have tested with the WinWaitActive command.

example: WinWaitActive("RUMBA AS/400 Display","CONNECTED")

I was hoping that above line would make autoit wait until a windows have the text connected in it... But it does not work. Autoit waits forever.

(I have activated the windetecthiddentext)

So I would like to know how good AutIt is on reading text in a windows.

Have any of you out there any ideas if this can be done?

regards, Magnus Finbom

Run the window spy and check if this shows you any of the text in the window. If it doesn't, AutoIt will be unable to see the text.
