rossnixon Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi all,Have a script that needs to wait for a program to finish drawing. The time does vary depending on the complexity of the drawing.I would like to avoid a kludge like sleep(30000).I tried picking up "Finished drawing" from the status bar using StausBarGetText() - but it's obviously a non-standard status bar.Is there a "CPU not very busy" thing that I could check once per second perhaps?Or is there a better way?Thanks, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossnixon Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 The work-around I found that works was to use PixelGetColor() at the screen location where "Drawing" changes to "Finished". Several pixels change to grey when the D changes to F. I don't need a better method now.... but if there is one, feel free to say so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therks Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 You could poll a pixelchecksum every half a second until the values stop changing. Would that work? My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that work?Yes, that would have been quicker to code. It was fiddly getting an exact pixel to test. I'll use your suggestion next time. Thanks.
