Speed Up ProcessWait/ProcessClose Polling?
DrLarch posted a topic in AutoIt General Help and Support
According to the help file: "The process is polled approximately every 250 milliseconds." I've got a process I am watching for and need to kill as fast possible. There appears to be no way to configure the poll time that I can see. Does anyone know any other way of accomplishing this? I don't care about nailing the CPU's, since it's just going to be for a relatively short period (I have a rough idea of when the process starts). Any direction/ideas appreciated. -
WinWait not working on a working process?
cassetti posted a topic in AutoIt General Help and Support
Hello All! Longtime user of AutoIt - LOVE the language. Right now I'm running into a bit of an issue and I need some help. I'm attempting to automate some processes in an open-source 3D model software called meshlab (http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/) - It's quite processor intensive. Though I've run into an issue where my work computer is MUCH faster than my home computer. When I execute WinWait("MeshLab") it won't wait, nor will it wait when I run one of the 'filters' - Filters > Remeshing > Surface Reconstruction: VCG - WinWait("Surface Reconstruction: VCG") I found something called "ProcessWait" in the helpfile (never had to use it before) - but when I run ProcessWait("meshlab.exe") - it doesn't work! Is there an alternative method to check/poll the system ever X milliseconds to determine if the process is finished executing? Some of these filters I run on my CAD models can take minutes to execute, and it varies drastically from computer to computer. Here's what I'm making - I take my 3D models, and run them through a bunch of filters to create this effect, called a "Voronoi Tessellation"- 17 replies
