My script thinks a window is open when it's not?

What MDL are you guys receiving when running this?

Code: Select all

CloseWindow>Details
Wait 1
IfWindowOpen>Details
MDL>Details open
Else
MDL>Details not open
endif
exit

Do i have some hidden window running called Details? Doesn't show up with getwindowlist

For me I get an error on the CloseWindow line because there is no window that matches.

So it then gives "Details not open"

If your CloseWindow is not giving an error then you must have a window present that matches.

And if that window hasn't quite finished closing in the millisecond or two it takes for the macro to get to the IfWindowOpen line then you're going to see "Details is open"

I see. Well even if the window is closed from the beginning, the script still sees it.

I wonder how that is possible when it doesn't show up with getwindowlist.

Try limiting to visible windows only by adding this at the top of your script:

Let>WF_TYPE=2

Works like a charm! Thank you very much!

Some web systems have hidden windows in the background which could cause this, especially Siebel based systems.
