New topic in General: Help with timer/while to wait until window exists
Maggot2duhmax - Mon Mar 31, 2008 7:35 pm <http://forums.realsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=21564> Hi. I am new to RB (but have some exp. w/ scripting) and I am building off the URL manager in the getting started section of the help in RB. Basically, I want to add a process wheel to run until the browser comes up. I tried two ways of doing this: 1. Use a while with 2 if statements to check if firefox or internet explorer is running (if it isn't, process wheel is visible; if process exists, process wheel isn't visible) -PROBLEM: The while caused the program to crash. 2. After the fail with the while, I resorted to a timer. Bascially I want the timer to check every second to see if the window exists. Here is my code (it goes with the connect to site button): Code:dim w as new window1 dim timer1 As new timer timer1.period = (1000) timer1.mode = (2) ShowURL LIstURL.Text if w.visible Then  ProgressWheel1.Visible = True end if timer1.Enabled = true if not w.visible then  progresswheel1.Visible = False end if What am I doing wrong? Also, can I make the while work?
