Why doesn't my IfWindowOpen command work?

[RixsterFL]

I have tested the below script without the IF command and the process works as I was hoping. Now I want to ensure that I do not open a duplicate window, however when debugging I get an error. "The 'true' label can not be found.

What am I missing or doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rick,

Please try:

1. IfWindowOpen>Microsoft Word*,true
2. Make sure no trailing space(s)

Happy scripting.

You were right on the money... It seems that I had a space after the lable's name.

Thanks again for the swift reply.

I am new to MS, but have a fairly good understanding of basic scripting (I think). No matter what I do, my IfWindowOpen statement always runs as if the statement was true. What am I doing wrong? Here's a snipit of code:

Press Enter
Wait>2.00
Let>WF_TYPE=2
IfWindowOpen>KCX\Manager,NoData
Label>Data
GoSub>PrintReport
GoSub>CloseReport
Goto>Return Report
Label>NoData
GoSub>NoDataWindow
Goto>Return Report
Label>Return Report

SRT>CloseReport
Press CTRL
Wait>0.10
Press F4
Wait>0.10
Release CTRL
Wait>0.10
MouseMove>238,57
End>CloseReport
.
SRT>NoDataWindow
Wait>0.10
Press Enter
WaitWindowOpen>xStore Manager 2.72 - [Work With Reports]
MoveWindow>xStore Manager 2.72 - [Work With Reports],-4,-4
ResizeWindow>xStore Manager 2.72 - [Work With Reports],1032,748
Wait>0.10
End>NoDataWindow
.
SRT>PrintReport
MouseMove>350,224
LClick
Wait>10.00
MouseMove>220,27
LClick
MouseMove>233,72
Wait>2.00
LClick
Wait>5.00
End>PrintReport

I unfortunatly have to use mouse movements and clicks because the program doesn't support keyboard use in all situations.
Any ideas on what I've done wrong?

There is nothing wrong with your script so if it resolves true then there *IS* a window present on the system at that time matching that string. Has to be. What do you see in Tools/View System Windows?

Hi Toastie,

When pasting your script into Macro Scheduler's Editor, I found that nearly all lines include one or more trailing spaces!

Please switch the value of WF_TYPE to 0, 1, and 2 to see any difference.

Armsys - the spaces were added when you copied the code from the forum, I can see that the original script had no spaces.

That was it. It turns out that whenever the parent application is running there is a hidden window with that name. I turned my script around so that it looked for the other window (when there is data in the report) and it takes the appropriate action. Here is a snipit of the changed and correct code:


Press Enter
Wait>2.00
Let>WF_TYPE=2
IfWindowOpen>xStore Manager 2.72 - [Form1],DefData,DefNoData
Label>DefData
GoSub>PrintReport
GoSub>CloseReport
Goto>Return Report

Label>DefNoData
GoSub>NoDataWindow
Goto>Return Report

Label>Return Report


Thanks again for the help.
