Stuempi Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Hi there, I'm working on another script which is fine so far... but I have a little problem and I'm just too narrow-minded to find a better solution. It's nothing special, I'm just starting a program and want to wait until the startup window of this program comes up and want to press a button. So this is what works: Run($ProgFolder & "\test.exe") Sleep(30000) ControlSend("test", "", "", "{ENTER}") Sometimes the window takes about 30 seconds to come up and sometimes only 10. Now when it's only 10 I don't want the script to have to wait another 20 seconds until it goes on. So is there any better way instead of a "Sleep" on this point? I didn't came up with anything Thanks in advance!

Stuempi Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 gna... I both checked winwaitactive and winexists, but that wasn't a good solution... but I forget about winwait. Thanks
