Designating to Wait for a Window


Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm trying to code something for AIM that when someone sends something to me, it responds with a couple of lines.

I have the code written, but I need to make it wait for the AIM window. And if you know AIM, it has a different title for every window, for instance: "ScreenName - Instant Message". Is there a way to put in like a 'wild card' character?

Also, I need this script to do this every time a window comes up. Do I need a loop? I already have it closing the window after the messages are send.

Thanks.

Look in Help for wintextmatchmode.

just check if the window exists in your main while loop if you've got one. Then if it exists do whatever.

Advanced Window Descriptions

A special description can be used as the window title parameter. This description can be used to identify a window by the following properties:

TITLE - Window title

CLASS - The internal window classname

REGEXPTITLE - Window title using a regular expression

LAST - Last window used in a previous AutoIt command

ACTIVE - Currently active window

INSTANCE - The 1-based instance when all given properties match

Ah. Thanks and kudos to both of you, that helps quite a bit.

EDIT: Would this be it?

AutoItSetOption("WinTextMatchMode",3)

$x= 1

While $x=1

winWaitActive( "-Instant Message" )

Send("Message1.")

Send("{ENTER}")

Sleep(5000)

Send("Message2.")

Send("{ENTER}")

WEnd
