WinWaitActive on Multiple Windows

[DanDaniels]

I have an application where, after a Send() call, one of two known windows will appear.

Question: What is the most efficient method of waiting on more than one window simultaneously then branching to the appropriate code.

Thanks in advance!

one way is:

While 1
    if WinExists("title","text1") then 
    ; do whats needed on text1
        ExitLoop
    ElseIf WinExists("title","text2") then 
    ; do whats needed on text2
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    sleep(10)
WEnd

That's a nice solution, thanks.

I was hoping there would be something that didn't require polling, but your solution is certainly acceptable.

Basicly the same thing:

GUICreate("Random",100,100)
If Random(0,1,1) Then
    GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Success",0,0)
Else
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Error",0,0)
EndIf
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


If WinWaitEither("Random","Error","Random","Success") = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0,"","Error Opened")
Else
    MsgBox(0,"","Success Opened")
Endif

Exit



Func WinWaitEither($title1,$text1,$title2,$text2)
    While 1
        If WinExists($title1,$text1) Then Return 1
        If WinExists($title2,$text2) Then Return 2
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc
