Script works first time, doesnt afterwards.

[schnarkle]

This is a noob question for sure. I get two windows that pop up throughout the day as part of an application we use at work.

This is to make them go away as soon as they appear.

While 1
WinWaitActive("FreedomLINK : doug")
WinClose("FreedomLINK : doug")
WinWaitActive("Logoff Warning")
Send("{SPACE}")
Wend

I know this is super simple but it works the first time, just not after that.

Any ideas?

thanks!

This is a noob trying to help another noob, so it may not necessarily be the best solution, but you may give it a try

While 1
    If WinActive("FreedomLINK : doug") Then WinClose("FreedomLINK : doug")
    If WinActive("Logoff Warning") Then Send("{SPACE}")
    Sleep(100)
Wend

Maybe the second time the title is slightly different. Possibly using

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2) at the start of the script will help.

Maybe you could use Autoit Window Info to check the second and compare it to the first.

Presumably you know that the 'space' is sent and that the script isn't stuck waiting for the Logoff warning to appear. MIght be worth putting a time limit in there just in case, eg

WinWaitActive("Logoff Warning",20)

Welcome to the forum. Have you tried putting debug messages lines after each line to see what is going on? For sure it's hanging on one of the WinWaitActive calls, but you will have to figure out which one. Use ConsoleWrite to put messages after each line and then run the app in SciTE.

Whoa give it up for Noob Power! It worked!

thanks for all the quick help!
