Need the opposite of WaitScreenImage

Post by kevinkalexander » Fri Oct 14, 2016 2:57 pm

I need a function that essentially does the opposite of WaitScreenImage. I need to know when the screen image is no longer on the screen. Is there any such function? Because they can land on any number of other pages I don't want to have to wait for any one of those pages to come up. It's an exhaustive list. I just need to know that they've navigated away from the screen I was looking for.

It's easy enough to create a loop and use WSI_TIMEOUT=1 and check WSI_TIMEDOUT, but I was just curious if there was something like a WaitScreenImageGone function.

WaitScreenImage is just FindImagePos in a loop. All we need to do is reverse the criteria.

Code: Select all

Let>NumFound=1
While>NumFound>0
  FindImagePos>%BMP_DIR%\needle.bmp,SCREEN,0.7,XArr,YArr,NumFound
  Wait>0.02
EndWhile
