Newbie question: WinWait... doesn't work

[Guest tygran]

Hello,

I have a problem with the WinWait, WinWaitActive and WinWaitClose functions.

When I use them in a Script to look if a window exists(, is active or is closed) it pauses, even if the Window is there(,active or is closed). When I use these functions with a max. time setting the Script waits the whole time an then goes on. My Script looks like this:

Global $primary
    Global $secondary
    Global $WindowTitle1 = IsString("Winamp - Setup")
    Global $WindowTitle2 = IsString("Winamp: User information")
     [...]

     Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0);; Mouse coordinates relative to active window

     MsgBox(0, "WinAmp 5.04 full - InstallScript - AutoIt v3", "...")
    StartFunc()


Func StartFunc()

     AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)
     MouseButtonCheck()
     Run("winamp504_full.exe")
    
    WinWait($WindowTitle1, "", 5) 
    WinActivate($WindowTitle1)
    WindowOne()
    
    WinWaitClose($WindowTitle1), "", 60)
    WinActivate($WindowTitle2)
    WindowTwo()

     [...]

EndFunc

I also tried to use function to ensure that a window is active, from this forum, but it did not work either:

Func EnsureActive($szTitle)
    
    WinWait($szTitle,"",5)
    While Not WinActive($szTitle)
         WinActivate($szTitle)
         Sleep(100)
    Wend
    WinWaitActive($szTitle,"",5)
    
EndFunc

Maybe someone knows what the problem is and how I can solve it - maybe I missed something vital or I have to use another option. Thanks in advance

quickly I notice this is wrong...

Global $WindowTitle1 = IsString("Winamp - Setup")
    Global $WindowTitle2 = IsString("Winamp: User information")

see what IsString does

Thanks for your help, I didn't look at the var declaration for errors
