Newbie Help with WinWaitActive

[GreatBarrier86]

Hi,

I am trying to use AutoIT's Send commands to create a VPN connection, but when i use WinWaitActive the script pauses even though the text i specified is on the screen.

For instance,

WinWaitActive("New Connection Wizard", "Network Connection Type")

Send("{LALT}ON")

It just pauses at WinWaitActive even though the text "network connection type" is listed.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Jason

well it seems right..

Have you copied it directly from the AutoIt window info?

If you haven't check if there is a space before the title like " New Connection Wizard"

interesting. Hmm...how do i copy it from the AutoIT window info? Also, it's the second part that is failing. If i remove it, it works fine. The "New Connection Wizard portion works.

Are you sure it's not seeing the window? I ask because I think your Send() is wrong and should be:

Send("!ON")

Well, i thought so at first too, but when i removed the second part, the "Network Connection Type," it worked fine.

Ok i figured it out once i used the window info program. It turns out that there are a lot of "&" symbols used in that text. Once i placed them in the proper location, it worked fine.
