Script-Problem: Waiting for Window

Dear Friends,

the following script-part should be responsible for waiting until a window with the caption "xxx" is shown and closes the splashscreen with a call on newadvsplash::stop then.


NSIS-CODE:
"
[...]

TheEnd:
Call func

SectionEnd

Function func
loop:
sleep 10
FindWindow $0 "" "xxx"
IsWindow $0 0 loop
System::Call 'user32::SetForegroundWindow(i r0)'
newadvsplash::stop
FunctionEnd
"


But it doesnt work:
The splash is closed before the window is shown.

Please help me!

Thank you very much
With best regards!

Perhaps it would be better to compare the FindWindow value with 0 with StrCmp instead. Also the Sleep should probably be increased to 500ms at least (otherwise your code is being executed 100 times a second).

Well, could you show me how to do that here:
IsWindow $0 0 loop

Thank you very much!

Also, what if the program launch fails? You will have an infinite loop on your hands.

StrCpy $1 0

loop:

  StrCmp $1 10000 exit

  IntOp $1 $1 + 1

  Sleep 500

  FindWindow $0 "" "xxx"

StrCmp $0 0 loop

exit:



System::Call 'user32::SetForegroundWindow(i r0)'

newadvsplash::stop
