Sleeping

[hmsSurprise]

Any rules of thumb for how long to sleep after button clicks, link clicks, wait b4 entering text after a click, etc? I have been using 500mSec as a starting point.

If a button calls another program I use this code

CODE

Run(@ScriptDir & "\yourprogram.exe")

Sleep(1000)

Do

$PID = ProcessExists("yourprogram.exe")

Sleep(100)

Until $PID = 0

;your code continues....

You can also have a look at RUNWAIT. If you run AutoIT3Recoder in SciTE/Tools open and close some windows and click on buttons and that sort of thing you will get code showing you how wait statements work. You can then weave these routines into your own code.

Thanks, good stuff. Just downloaded AutoIt3 again thinking I had missed something, no recorder option under tools.

Just download the SciTE editor on its own which is what I did. Alt+F6 is the shortcut.

Go to start > programs> autoitv3>SciTE>ScriptWriter

and it should be there

For the recorder use SciTE\Tools\SciTE Config (Shortcut Ctrl+1) If SciTE Config does not appear in the SciTE Tools Menu then go to

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\ and run the program called sciteconfig.exe
