UDF - WinWaitListExist
This UDF will wait for any of a list of windows to show up. Similar to WinWaitExist, but with multiple target windows.
#DefineFunction WinWaitListExist(List, Timeout, Delimiter)
NumOfElements = ItemCount(List, Delimiter)
TimeAtInit=TimeYmdHms( )
While @TRUE
For i=1 To NumOfElements
CurrentWin = ItemExtract(i, List, Delimiter)
If WinExist(CurrentWin) Then Return i ;returns item number in delimited list
Next
If Timeout >= 0 ;Assume Negative Timeout means 'wait forever'
TimeNow = TimeYmdHms()
TimePassed=TimeDiffSecs(TimeNow, TimeAtInit)
If TimePassed > Timeout Then Return @FALSE
EndIf
TimeDelay(1) ;Sleep for one second the check windows again
EndWhile
#EndFunction
;---------------------------------------------
;Test Program
Timeout = 3
Delimiter = @TAB
List = StrCat("Some App", @TAB, "Untitled - Notepad", @TAB, "Some Other App")
;run without notepad being opened
result = WInWaitListExist(List, Timeout, Delimiter)
Message("Result", result)
;now open Notepad
Run("notepad.exe", "")
result = WInWaitListExist(List, Timeout, Delimiter)
Message("Result", result)
