How to check if a program has a sub window open

[europa]

I am making a script that
1) Opens X-Ways Forensics
2) Creates a new case
3) Adds a forensic image to the case
4) Runs the task "Refine Volume Snapshot"

The task Refine Volume Snapshot takes random amount of time, depending of the size and complexity of the forensic image.
How can I check if this task is done or not?
After it is done I want to do other things.

That didnt work.
I tried to get more information from the Window.
It seems to be named "X-Ways_Operation_Complete2.exe".
Can that help?

Hallo,
"X-Ways_Operation_Complete2.exe" seems to be the name of your debug script!
With ahk_class #32770 windows sometimes the wintext parameter does not work as expected.
Perhaps?:

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
WinWait, X-Ways Forensics ahk_class #32770

Rohwedder : That worked.
But the ahk_class changes every time i run the program.
Can it be dynamic?

[Rohwedder]

#32770 is the default class for a dialog box.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/about-window-classes.
I've never seen the class of a dialog box change before. But if it does, maybe SetTitleMatchMode, Regex helps.

Ok thanks for the help!
