using the idea of looping while IE is busy, how would I use the VB SET statement to definite IE as a window that is already open as opposed to creating a new instance of IE?

thanks a bunch!

WaitWindowChanged waits for a change in foreground window. It won't help you wait for a web page to load. Instead use VBScript and IE's busy function: http://www.mjtnet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1511 Just a suggestion, it may be helpful for beginners to clarify that the WaitWindowChanged waits for ...

wow! thank you for the lightning fast response! I'll try it tonight.

thanks again,

thanks for the help Support. that insight should help a bit. I was had some other questions if you have a second. What's the difference between Waitready>1 and Waitready>%1% ? Is the latter merely a variable named "1"? I got my macro to work for 1 iteration. however, when I add a line "MessageModal>...

nice script! I wonder if you could answer a question for me. several of my macros require a short wait (e.g. 0.05 s) AFTER I set focus on a window. why's that? so if I REM the "Wait>0.05" out after the SetFocus> command, then my macro(s) won't work.... is it due to the speed of the computer? just cu...

I think you need to have:

Though more info about why it's not working wouldn't hurt.

Thanks Me_again and ArmSys for the "Ascii>32" bit. Now I won't get warnings upon closing my macros.

I'm trying to rename folders on my hard drive to reflect the name of pictures but I can't get the timing right using WaitReady commands. I'm using the popular software ACDSee v2.41. I want the folder name to be the same as the pics so if the pics are named abc01.jpg, abc02.jpg, etc., then I want the...

"foreground window"? I still don't understand what WaitWindowChanged does, but that script you linked to sure is beautiful!

THANKS!

Thanks for the awesome support!

It has been always like this. Not all users are annoyed.

I was experiencing this issue too.

It is a bit annoyng. If a program isn't in the taskbar (which MS isn't) then it shouldn't be in the ALT+Tab menu either.

I'm using WaitWindowChanged>5 to wait for a webpage to load. The webpage easily loads within that amount of time, however my next statement: MessageModal>WWC_RESULT always returns "FALSE". So WaitWindowChanged is useless for my purposes in this situation. I don't think this command is doing what I t...

I'm sure I'm missing something in the code above. So after I pounded a small crater in the wall w/my head, I changed the loop from a Repeat/Until structure to a ...structure. Seems to be workin fine!

Any suggestions? I removed trailing spaces. TIA! :D SetFocus>Turbo Lister Let>k=1 Repeat>k Let>k=k+1 // EVALUATE k VARIABLE IF>k<10 Let>MyStr=0%k% ELSE Let>MyStr=%k% ENDIF // CREATE NEW ITEM.
