Quick IfThen Question

[JuggaloZeke 0]

The Problem: Sometimes the sript I wrote can run astray. I'm trying to solve this by making it check to see if it is at the correct place before it executes again. [it's in a while statement.]

Ok... I want an If Then statement that functions like this:

If [window is not active] Then
   Do this
Else
   Do this
EndIf

but I can't figure out how to make that first expression... an expression.

Even something like

If [WinWaitActive exp[b][/b]ression] Then
   Do This
Else
   Do This
EndIf

Would work but I don't know how to get the WinWaitActive to work with If.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

WinWaitActive returns 1 for success and 0 for failure

Therefore:

If WinWaitActive(....) = 1 Then
  ; do something with active window
Else
  ; window not found
EndIf

Check help file for more info on WinWaitActive.

If NOT WinActive("Title", "optional text. you can leave this out") Then
 ;Do this
Else
 ;Do this
EndIf
