yougoudai Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi everybody First of all, I apologize for my English, I'm french... I'm just looking for a simple question : I just want something happens when a specific window does not exist after, for example, 15 seconds. In fact I have IE window that install some patches, disappears, and reappears again for some new patches... So I rally don't know how AutoIt can detect the window closed after 15 second of non-activities... I do not have my script here, but I tried to do a infinite loop with a while, * after a loop with "if" to test if the window exists ("WinExist"), * if the windows exists, continue the loop * if the windows does not exist, wait 15 seconds and test again ... but As soon the window disappears, autoit do not wait and told me that the windows is gone, and the window reappears... Can you please help me ? Kind regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMEE Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 First of all, your English is quite all right(if I as a dutch person can judge). On your question: It is quite dangerous to look only for the existence of a window in these kind of cases. It would probably be more safe to first get the process ID and watch that one. If you like to go on this way, I'd better investigate the problem if you show the important parts of your script. Note that the sleep command has milliseconds as input, this can result in the described behaviour. If the window pops-up, you can also use the winwaitactive command, where you can specify the timeout (in seconds). I hope this will help you, else please give some more information In the beginning there was nothing and then even that exploded - anonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please help me ? Kind regards,If, as DMEE says, using the title is not a problem then something like this might work. WinWait($titlehere, 300);wait up to 5 minutes for window ;window has appeared or > 5 minutes $tt = TimerInit() While TimerDiff($tt) < 20000;allow 20 sec for window to come back If WinExists($titlehere) Then While WinExists($titlehere) Sleep(5000) WEnd $tt = TimerInit() EndIf WEnd ;window has not existed for 20 seconds or never appeared in the 5 min period Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

yougoudai Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thank you very much for your answers guys, you're great ! I cannot test right now the scripts but I'll as soon I can. I just thought too about that code : While WinExists("titlehere") Sleep("20000") ContinueLoop Wend ; Normally the windows should be not active after 20 seconds, so i can execute the code... MsgBox(4096,"YEAH","Done !") What do you think about it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system24 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 While WinExists("titlehere") = 1 Sleep("20000") ContinueLoop Wend ; Normally the windows should be not active after 20 seconds, so i can execute the code... MsgBox(4096,"YEAH","Done !") That's better. [center]It's a question of mind over matter, if I don't mind, it doesn't matter.[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
