Wait until a window is a specified size?

[emendelson]

I'm writing a script that uses DOSBox-X to run Windows 98 in a DOSBox-X window, and I want to be able to send a key to the Windows 98 desktop when it opens. If I use WinWait to wait until the DOSBox-X window opens, it detects the window while the Windows 98 system is still starting up. After the Windows 98 system starts up, the window size increases from 640x480 to 1024x768, and that is when I want to send a keystroke. Is it possible to wait until a window is a specified size? Or is there some other way to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: I think the way to do this may be to repeat WinGetPos until the width and height match what I'm looking for, but if there's a more efficient way, I'll be grateful to know about it.

It would be fairly simple:

Local $hWin = WinGetHandle('Title of your window')
Local $aPos
Local $iWidth = 1024
Local $iHeight = 768

Do
    $aPos = WinGetPos($hWin)
    Sleep(10)
Until $aPos[2] = $iWidth And $aPos[3] = $iHeight

; Do your other stuff
; Send your keystroke

@Andreik That works perfectly. Thank you.

You can also do it in a single line :

WinWait("[TITLE:window title here;W:1024;H:768]", "", 30)  ; timeout of 30 secs

Totally forgot about title special definitions. Nicely done.
