Hi Paul,
Thanks for that. I have found a second way to do the same thing. I
wrote an AutoIt script to check for the window and to click the No
button. The only thing is that I don't want the script to be running
all the time, only when the window actually pops up. So, I thought of
using PowerPro to detect the window, and then to run the script. The
only problem is that when I put an entry in the HookWindowEvents
group, PowerPro and AutoIt went crazy. I'm pretty sure it was due to
the command I used:
Wait in the Command field, and
until (activewindow("Sygate*")) in the Command Parameters field.
Anyway, the AutoIt script began opening tens of different instances of
it, and PowerPro crashed (couldn't handle the load I guess)
I then tried:
Wait in the Command field, and
for (activewindow("Sygate*")) in the Command Parameters field.
Exact same thing. What would be the correct command to use within
PowerPro to wait for a window titled "Sygate Personal Firewall Pro"?
The script I wrote will actually check the text of the window, so if
it isn't exactly what I want, the script will do nothing and exit. I
just need to work out how to get PowerPro to run it when that window
pops up.
