winwait for Balloon tips

[dwhiting]

I am trying to use winwait to pause a task until a balloon tip pops up. I have used the following line to wait for the XP balloon tip that occurs when a network cable is unplugged. However, when I unplug my network cable and the balloon pops up it is not detected by the script as it does not proceed to the next line. I have no problem using winwait with regular windows but it just does not seem to work with a balloon tip.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

winwait ("A network")

you could try other identification methods that the title such as class to see if that works.

I've tried that as well but still no detection.

can i see your full code?

WinWait("[TITLE:A Network Cable; CLASS:tooltips_class32]")

MsgBox(4096, "LAN", "LAN disconnected")

Wait for the pixel colour to change?

pixel color could give many false positives.

look up title match options in the help file. You don't have the right options for your code.

when i use winexists with the same options and the balloon tip is open the program does see the window and continues. It just wont detect when it first opens.
