Trying to use $handle in WinWaitClose opposed to CLASS

[afallenhope]

Hey everyone long time reader first time posting! I am currently needing some help. I have been hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out a way around this problem but I cannot think of a way. I have a script (it is posted below) that I am wanting go out onto a FTP server and retrieve the latest copy of X. The script uses a batch file to call a javascript to go out and retrieve the file. I then want the program(autoit) to wait until that download is done though it's not working. Once I get the file downloading I have an Autoit command that will unzip the contents into another folder(This is all in the same Autoit file).

That command jumps way ahead and doesn't wait for the file to be downloaded. (Sorry this is so long winded) 

What I am currently trying to do is figure out a way of doing a WinWaitClose($handle, "") if that is possible. I have tried having the autoit file to hold based on the class and the title (separate of course) but neither work. I have used the Autoit Window Info tool and this is the information displayed by it.

Sorry for this being such a long post just trying to get some help! Thanks guys!!!

It should work with the title/class as well.

 

The title/hWnd/class of the window to check

$handle = 0x00930378
WinWaitClose($handle, "")

Thank you Mikah for the quick response. I tested it though it appears that when I launch it the Handle is dynamic and not static. could it potentially be the javascript that is changing that value?

[MikahS]

Could be, if it is the active window you could always..

$handle = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
WinWaitClose($handle, "")

or

$handle = WinGetHandle("FVW") ; partial text is matched
WinWaitClose($handle, "")

[MikahS]

You can always check to make sure you have the right handle after you get it, before you call winWaitClose with:

Local $wExts = WinExists($handle)
If $wExts = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "You did not get the correct handle")
EndIf

Thank you Mikah I would not have figured it out without your help! When it would open the command prompt window when launching the JavaScript it would open several windows. Some with a file directory to where the JavaScript was or the title of the window being WinSCP. I tried putting in the code

$handle = WinGetHandle("FVW") ; partial text is matched

WinWaitClose($handle, "")

 

It did not work (on the first go around) Looking at the windows as they came up I noticed that the name FVW - WinSCP was displayed once before it got to the final command prompt window with the same title.

So I just did

$handle = WinGetHandle("FVW") ; partial text is matched

WinWaitClose($handle, "")

Sleep(15000)

$handle = WinGetHandle("FVW") ; partial text is matched

WinWaitClose($handle, "")

 

Now when I close that window it continues on in the script. Thank you again MikahS!!!!

You are very welcome!

I'm glad you were able to find a way with the code provided.

Now, if someone else is in this same situation I think it would be best to mark the code that helped you solve this as "marked solved" which is on the bottom right of the post that helped you.

Just helps newcomers looking for the same solution

Again, you are very welcome

When you start to get more sophisticated with your scripting, you can then look for only windows created from the process produced by the Run() command.  That way, you don't pick up on a similarly named window, but your exact window.

Then, when there are popups, you can get the parent hwnd, and use that to get the 'enabled popups' via:

$hYourPopup = _WinAPI_GetWindow($hYourParent,6)



Enabled popups are: ("[CLASS:#32770]")
