WaitReady = 1



HotTopic !
I'm currently running a script on an VB application which is connected to a DB via a network. Its performance varies badly so sending strings to forms which haven't been finished to appear ...

I think even if you send keyboard and mouse events to a busy window, they will be buffered in that window's thread msg queue. Therefore, they won't be lost. So I don't see much use for such a feature unless there are specific examples you can list.

Well there's no WinWaitOpen (aka "Window has finished to appear"), and you're right a WinWaitActive won't stop the script to send data into the memory (a black box).

So entering data on seperate moving forms of a Billing plattform without the necessary visibility (for security reasons) isn't something which I can explain to my boss, or even colleagues, as an alternative

Cause that process is running 24/7 I need to have a slight chance to recognize if something is going wrong. Visibilty isn't something to ignore - but maybe I'm wrong and should ask Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles what they think about it

It's an interesting idea. There is an API function WaitForInputIdle() which "waits until the given process is waiting for user input with no input pending, or until the time-out interval has elapsed".

Do you think this item has enough usefulness and mass appeal to add to the to-do list?
