MatheFreak Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have to do some filehandling which normally lasts 1 second, but sometimes (network access) up to 15 sec. Now I can handle this comfortably using with WinWaitActive and timeout=30 sec, but users get confused if "nothing" happens, and start clicking arround. How could I visualise "System is working for you, connecting network"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatheFreak Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Use ToolTip,TrayTip,SplashTextOn. Read in help file more.Thanks for helping. But TrayTip and SplashTextOn do not exist on AutoItX3. (Do they?) And ToolTip produces a "funny" effect: Tooltip workes fine with Excel, ... but in my 3er-party-application the "open" dialog looses focus, and I have no chance to refocus it. Without ToolTip my script workes fine, but WITH ToolTip the WinWaitActive simply hangs.
