Hi, is there a preferred method to detect a window and take an action on it?

Code:

Loop
{
   WinWait, Microsoft Office OneNote Security Notice,
   IfWinNotActive, Microsoft Office OneNote Security Notice, , WinActivate, Microsoft Office OneNote Security Notice, 
   WinWaitActive, Microsoft Office OneNote Security Notice, 
   Send, y   
}

Code:

SetTimer, OneNoteNotice, 100
OneNoteNotice:
{
IfWinExist, Microsoft Office OneNote Security Notice, 
Send, y
Return
}

RTFM

Would you mind sharing why?

I assumed that Loop would take too much CPU time, but it is not detectable. Process Lasso reports an average load of 0.02% for AHK with the Loop method.

I also assume that with the Loop method the window will be closed faster, vs SetTimer having a worst time of 100 ms
