determining window ready for input

[anystupidassname]

Hello all. I have a script that occasionally initiates before the java app it is supposed to interact with is ready/responding.

This results in failure of the script. Could somebody please advise how this situation would be handled by a GOOD script writer (unlike me :-/)?

;grab 16 Numbers

$doc4 = StringRegExp($doc3, "\d{12,16}", 1)
$doc5 = _ArrayToString($doc4)

;msgbox(48,"",$doc1)

;switch to titan
WinActivate("Titan")
WinWaitActive("Titan")
Sleep(5)

;initiate xref alt-f n x
Send("!f")
Send("n")
Send("x")
;;tried alternative method that didn't work... WinMenuSelectItem("Titan","&File","&New","New &Xref")

;pick resource tab tab t tab
WinActivate("Cross Reference")
WinWaitActive("Cross Reference")
Sleep(50)
Sleep(50)
Send("{TAB}")
Sleep(50)
Send("{TAB}")
Sleep(50)
Send("t")

Thanks!

Are you sure that Sleep isn't causing the problem?

;switch to titan

WinActivate("Titan")

WinWaitActive("Titan")

Sleep(5)

WinWaitActive should pause your script until "Titan" is ready.

I would try removing the sleep, or maybe put in a WinActivate("Titan") after your sleep.

Thanks but sorry, I tried and that wasn't it...
