WinGetTitle - reducing cpu usage

[rm65453]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have been using a script at work for the last 6 months or so. It gets some information from the window title and keeps it in its memory for retrieval. 

 

currently I am running an infinite loop to look for the window title, the information in the memory is only updated if a few window title is detected.

 

The trouble with this approach as you can see, is the cpu usage. I was wondering if somehow I can only run this script when a windows change event occurs, otherwise the script stays dormant.

 

I have no idea how to do that, searched on forum and found some solutions that were years old and did not work for me.

 

Thanks

rm65453,

Do you have a Sleep in this infinite loop? Even a Sleep(10) gives the CPU enough time to breathe.  I have several AutoIt executables running permanently without any problems.

@Melba23 Thanks for the golden piece of info

@rm65453 Can you please make a test script to demonstrate your problem

sorry about the late reply, did not set up email alerts for this thread.

 

Just tried the sleep (10) and the cpu usage is down to 1%, what a huge improvement with such a simple solution. Brilliant!!

 

Thanks Melba23
