GaryB Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I am trying to change a setting after using Autoit to automatically install a program. The problem is that during the install there are three windows that pop up for user input and all three have the same name "xxx VPN". I am using WinWait ("xxx VPN") to determine when the window is open. The problem is that it runs when the first wndow opens. Is there a way to loop and wait for the third window? I can't use the sleep command since I don't know how long it will take for the user to click on the button to proceed to the next window. Thanks for any help!
water Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 If there is unique text on the third window you can use winwait("xxx VPN","unique text") My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs: Active Directory (NEW 2024-07-28 - Version 1.6.3.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki ExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts OutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki OutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - Download Outlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki PowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki Task Scheduler (2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs: Excel - Example Scripts - Wiki Word - Wiki Tutorials: ADO - Wiki WebDriver - Wiki
GaryB Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Yes there is, I am attaching a image of the window I want. I want to use Autoit to select the Properties button when it is available. Thanks.
water Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Please use the Autoit Window Info tool. Klick on your 3rd window and in the "Visible Text" Tab of the Window Info Tool you can find the text Autoit "sees" and can search for.

FreeFry Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 You could probably use the advanced window matching mode(4) with the class name of the window, unless the other windows have the same class.
GaryB Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks to everyone for the great comments and help. I was able to get it to work with the suggestion from water.
