SetFocus on a hidden window

Post by MacschedStudent » Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:47 pm

Hi guys I'm trying to use SetFocus on a window but the window does not show up in task manager. It's a file - browser window that pops up when you select a folder. The Top Title says "Please select folder" - but there is no reference to it in Task Manger (Applications or Processes) window. I tried using :

Code: Select all


Label>retry
SetFocus>Please*


IfFileExists>done.txt,end,retry
..
..
Label>end
Exit>0
But no luck - any ideas..??

Have you tried Macro Scheduler's built in utility - Tool/View System Windows?
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
