May I suggest, that you use Autorun list instead of HookWinodwsEvents.
HWE has more overhead compared to Autorun and increases CPU usage. I'd
use HWE only sparingly.
Anyway, if you can't address a window because it uses generic class
names or titles (DirOpus is a king here), I'd suggest you use
Miscplugin. Define an entry with your caption list, the more specified
the better.
Target:
c=XPCOM:EventWindow
Action1:
Script
If
(win.caption("autorun") eq "Prompt" and
miscplugin.Is_TextInWin("autorun",?"Please enter your password*") > 0)
Action2 (more action textbox):
win.sendkeys(?"{to autorun}min1girl{en}")
You get the idea, just adapt it to your case. Note that the captions in
Autorun lists are bound with OR, not AND. So you can't use:
c=XPCOM:EventWindow && "Prompt"
or alike as target, and that's why you move one of conditions into the
action part. The rest is the magic of Miscplugin. Note if you don't use
the exact title in Is_TextInWin, put * (asterisks) as necessary.
@Bruce: Would it be possible to get AND-binding in caption lists, like
above? Say, c=MyClass&&MyTitle would check BOTH conditions, and
c=MyClass\&\&Mytitle (c=MyClass?=&&=MyTitle) would search for a
classname "MyClass&&MyTitle".

As far as I've seen, PP runs HWE sequentially. IMO it's not a good idea
to use wait's in HWE since especially Firefox does open lots lots of
hidden windows and closes them. So if even more hooked events occur
during the wait, PP may eventually run out of buffer and crash.
Of course, Bruce has definitive insight into it and has the final word.
