WinWaitActive with number in WinTitle error Topic is solved

[Albert Schenning]

Need help with following problem :

WinWaitActive("Program_name", , 5) ; this will work

but if the WinTitle contains a number i get an error

WinWaitActive("Program_name 100", , 5) ; gives an error on 100

any ideas ??

What does “error on 100” mean? Is it showing an error message? What does it say? Something else must be going on. If it is showing an error message, hit Ctrl+C when the error message window is active to copy its contents to the clipboard, then paste them in a post here.

it says : Missing parameter name

As I said before, something else is going on. The difference between it not giving an error and it giving an error is not that you added the number. It's because you have something else in how you structured your script (like the next line being a {) that makes it think it's a function definition, not a function call. If you don't believe me, remove the number from the exact same script and you'll see you get the same error.
