Need help with WinWait for a specific sized window[solved]

Hi. i googled and searched a lot before posting this. thanks for any help.

I need to locate a window that has no title or discernible text, BUT is always the same size. The autoit documentation says:

"X \ Y \ W \ H - The position and size of a window

One or more properties are used in the title parameter of a window command in the format:

[PROPERTY1 : Value1; PROPERTY2:Value2]"

However, i can't figure out exactly how to do that. i tried:

Local $winAW = WinWait("[W:506;H:288]", "", 30);

That didn't work. I couldn't find an example of the specific format I need to use. Can someone provide a proven working example? Maybe that example can be added to the documentation? :) Thanks!

Your WinWait statement looks correct to me. Did you check with the AutoIt Window Info Tool that the window has the size you specify?

Please post a screenshot of the AutoIt Window Info Tool for your window.

Thanks sorry I didn't reply sooner. Here's the screen capture:

 

I can't find it via Class because all of the Spruce POS Windows have the same class of RAIL_WINDOW. And the title is blank :(. So I figured Size would do it. There's no Visible Text when I click on that tab. I tried typing in some text, and it appeared to work at first, but then autoit starting find my AUTOIT script editor Window because it found the text that I was looking for. very meta...

Anyhow, it seems to work when I have JUST that code standalone:

Local $winAW = WinWait("[W:506;H:288]", "", 30);
winActivate($winAW);
msgBox('','Found it','Found window!');

It just seems to fail with my larger script:

Ok.... I figured it out.. Sorry guys. The height of the error window is 269 for the SKU in my script. The random sku I picked to get the window size was 288 :P. I didn't think the height of that error window changed. So far width is consistent though so I'll just use that.

Thanks for making me think and double-check everything, appreciate it!
