Branch Point - WaitWindowOpen

Rory · Post by **Rory** » Mon May 08, 2006 6:26 pm

I have an application where I need to run a report and I am using MS to automate filling in the fields where needed by reading a text file (ReadLn).
Once the report is generating, I need to wait for one of two windows to open. One is a print window and the other tells me that there was no data available.
How can I have MS wait for one or the other window to open.
If I use "WaitWindowpen>Print", and the other one appears titled "Continue", MS sits and waits for the "Print" window.

Use a loop (include a short wait) with two IfWindowOpen> statements to check for both window titles and branch as appropriate. You probably want to set a max number for passes round the loop as a timeout in case neither window ever appears.

I created a loop with a timer and counter. If neither window opens in the allotted amount of time, then the script quits runing.

Thanks for your help.

Good job!

You don't need the ELSE because if the condition isn't satisfied it will just drop to the next line anyway.
