Detect window until it closes in a loop, if it terminates then do

$CitrixWindowExists = "?"
    While 1
        If WinExists($CitrixWindowExists) Then
            $CitrixExists = 1
        Else
                MsgBox(0, "Ruh Roh", "Citrix Window Closed.", 30)
                Shutdown(0) ;logoff here
                Exit
        Sleep(200)
    WEnd

 

This is something simple, but me being a newbie to AutoIT, I'd REALLY appreciate some help..

I really just need to monitor for a Citrix Window that closes, I know I can target that window title when it's active, but in my testing I am having trouble making it consistent and I am sure it's something I am doing wrong, in addition to this being a learning process for me.

Any clarification or wisdom is appreciated. I just need to actively and continuously monitor when the window closes and then perform the logoff..as long s the window is active, nothing needs to be done.

Hello

 

$CitrixTitle="TextOfCitrixWindowTitle"

while WinExists($CitrixTitle)

MsgBox(64,"Citrix Window closed","Going to logoff",30)
Shutdown(0)

If I may ask, MsgBox(64"blahblah"m30)

 

what does the 64 mean?

[OJBakker]

64 is the value of the flag-parameter of the MsgBox function. Meaning and possible values are very well explained in the manual.

 

[rudi]

64 is the info symbol, one of a few values I know by heart.

30 is the timout value for the MsgBox()

As @OJBakker mentioned already, pls have a look at the documentation for MsgBox()

 

A very nice tool is the Message Box Code Wizzard, available by pressing  [alt]+[w] from SciTE editor. There you can set a lot of things to design your message boxes. Many things are done through this numeric, fist value to be passed to the MsgBox() function. The wizzard will calculate the value as needed to match your selections.

 

And finally a suggestion:

 

MsgBox(64"blahblah"m30) is messed up, broken sample code. Pls. try to be precisely!

This is not consistent enough, sometimes it detects when the window closes, often times not..

I've been reading the below, so we'll see if I can find a way to always target the window and perform the logoff when it closes..we'll see how it goes lol

$CitrixWindowTitle = "Something - More Something Stuffs"
While WinExists("[TITLE:$CitrixWindowTitle; CLASS:Transparent Windows Client; INSTANCE:1]", "")
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Are there escape characters I need to use a variable in the advanced window titles thingy? Or do I need to use plain text?

$CitrixWindowTitle = "Something - Something Else"
While WinExists("[TITLE:" & $CitrixWindowTitle & "; CLASS:Transparent Windows Client; INSTANCE:1]", "")
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Replying to this topic instead making new one, I'd like to ask you:

How to wait untill the window with permanent removing files disappears (and than continue the loop)? I don't know if it's related with DirectUIHWND or more with msctls_progress32 or anything.

Can you give me the exact code fragment to paste?

this is a 2 years old topic.

Pls. start a new one describing your full problem, and provide some code.
