help running more then 1 autoit

[Guest belgarath]

i have made a sweet script that does exactly what i want now i want to go all out and run 2-4 at the same time on the one desktop.

what im doing

i have a script that waits for pixels to change in the window and then responds with mouse clicks

i want to run 4 of these windows on my desktop sectioned off

how do i get this to run do i need 4 auto its' running would the mouse clash some place or can i do it with 1 script

i would rather 4 autoit scripts running 1 for each it would make it easier

but if all 4 tried to use the mouse im guessing there would be a problem

ProcessWait

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pauses script execution until a given process exists.

ProcessWait ( "process" [, timeout])

Parameters

process The name of the process to check.

timeout [optional] Specifies how long to wait (default is to wait indefinitely).

Return Value

Success: Returns 1.

Failure: Returns 0 if the wait timed out.

Remarks

Process names are executables without the full path, e.g., "notepad.exe" or "winword.exe"

In order to work under Windows NT 4.0, ProcessWait requires the file PSAPI.DLL (included in the AutoIt installation directory).

The process is polled approximately every 250 milliseconds.

This function is the only process function not to accept a PID. Because PIDs are allocated randomly, waiting for a particular PID to exist doesn't make sense.

Example

ProcessWait("notepad.exe")

This might be of some help. If an AutoIt script can detect another AutoIt script then you are in luck! Edited November 16, 2004 by Py7|-|[]/\/

I would sugest using Handles, get the unique handles of all 4 and have one script cycle checking each one. The difference in one script checking 4 windows, and 4 scripts all checking one windowon the same computer will be about the same, but you would be able to predict mouse movement and make sure it doens't go haywire.

You could have autoIt rename each window to a different and unique name or something like window1, window2, window3, window4, however there are many things that can change window titles, so I would suggest handles.

It will take a bit more writing for 4 checks, but not all that rough, and you don't have to worry about which autoit to turn off when things go wrong.
