winwaitactive & send help

[ermilemerson]

Sirs and Maams

I am automating an installer.

I need to send "!n" after the installation process completed.

The problem is.. I can't use WinWaitActive because the window name doesn't change after the installation process.

Is there other command like ButtonWaitActive or something that I can use before my Send("!n") command?

I don't want to use Sleep() because its unreliable.

Thanks

If the text in the window changes you can use

WinWait ( "title" , "text" )

[ermilemerson]

Is the "text" means the text in the button?

[water]

"Text" means any visible text in the window. You can use the autoit window info tool. The tab "Visible Text" shows the text that can be seen by autoit.

thank you very much water

[ermilemerson]

uhm water, what if it can't see any visible text or hidden text?

[water]

Can you post a screenshot of a window your script should ignore and one screenshot of a window your script sould accept?

[ermilemerson]

WinWait("STAF 3.3.3","&Done")

should wait until the "Done" Button appears. Note: You need the "&" before the underlined letter in the Button.

I am also trying to automate installtion which is made using Installanywhere.I tried doing the way water has mentioned but its not working.

autoit window info tool is not showing any data in Visible Text nor even in hidden text.

Is there any other way to automate it?

Thanks in advance

WinWait("STAF 3.3.3","&Done")

should wait until the "Done" Button appears. Note: You need the "&" before the underlined letter in the Button.

Use the info tool to get the info then look at the WinX and ControlX functions in the help file.
