If specific windows close then script exit/stop

[Hello Me You]

For example I want to make a script that opens notepad. Then do some actions (e.g. type some text) and wait (sleep) for the window (notepad) to close. If the window (notepad) close then the script exit.

Run()

Sleep()

WinWaitClose()

Exit

| say that the script is running

| (notepad is open)

| the script sends/types some text

| maybe accidentally i close notepad before the script exit

| after notepad close the script will continue sending keys

| i want the script to automatically stop/exit so it wont send keys anymore to another window

Hi,

then you need to check everytime you are going to send something If WinExists

Or use ControlSend

So long,

something like this:

While 1
    ; do something here
    If NOT WinExists("Untitled -") Then ; Checks if "Untitled-" doesn't exist anymore (you can change this to any title)
        Exit ; Closes script
    EndIf
WEnd

For pausing a script, here's a function I got from the help file:

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Yeah, because you don't speak the language of stupidity to well. They are helping you ,because you cannot get your head around the fact that they don't know how to read the help file.... explain it once explain it twice and they still, question because of lazy attitude... have a good day.

Well I would use ControlSend, since if the windows doesnt exist, it cant be send...
