AHK won't detect "Confirm Save As" button Topic is solved

[t4akawolf]

Part of a script I'm working on appends a prefix to an automated saved-file's name. Here's the relevant code:

Code: Select all

WinWaitActive, Save As, , 20
if ErrorLevel
{
	MsgBox, Try saving manually please.
}
else
{
	Send {Home}
	Send CNM
	Send {Space} {Enter}
	WinWaitActive, Confirm Save As, , 20
	if ErrorLevel
		{
			Send {Tab}
			Send {Enter}
		}
	else
		{
			Sleep 300
		}
	Send ^w
}
return

If no file pre-exists with the new filename, the script works fine. Otherwise, it gets stuck on the Confirm Save As dialog box, instead of Tabbing to "Yes" and hitting Enter.

Can someone tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

try putting some sleep after win Activate

and I swap Confirm Save As Activatation

Code: Select all

WinWaitActive, Save As,, 20
if ErrorLevel
{
	MsgBox, Try saving manually please.
}
else
{
	Sleep, 250  ;added Sleep
	Send {Home}
	Send CNM
	Send {Space}{Enter}
	WinWaitActive, Confirm Save As, , 20
	if ErrorLevel
	{
		Sleep 300
	}
	else
	{
		Sleep, 250  ;added Sleep
		Send {Tab}
		Send {Enter}
	}
	Send ^w
}
return

I don't understand. Why swap the two?

Isn't {Tab} {Enter} supposed to happen IF there is an Error (which in this case is the Confirm Save As box opening)?

ErrorLevel mean done waiting for the window

Code: Select all

	WinWaitActive, Confirm Save As, , 20
	if ErrorLevel
	{
		msgbox, I waited 20 second and the window didn't Activated
	}
	else
	{
		msgbox, I found the window send your keys now
	}

. . . I feel stupid.

I clearly used it the right way the first time. Not sure how I misunderstood the function immediately after

Thank you. It worked.
