Triggering Events - check windows existl

[Boris]

Tell, how it is possible to make in Triggering Events start if there is window exist (or not) or not no such started process (with a full patch to exe file)?

[Oleg]

You can do such functionality. Create the task with Cyclic trigger.
Suppose it fired every 2 seconds.
Algorithm of the task is simple:

Check existence of window //Check for window action
If true
   do something
else
   do something else
endif

Also see the example below.
You can use similar algorithm for checking of some process existence. See {IsProcessExists()} variable.

Code: Select all

This method works, but unfortunately, I can't add simultaneously in a condition of operation of the task any additional condition (for example, at file creation that too this condition worked).in rus: Ìåòîä ðàáîòàåò, íî íåëüçÿ äîáàâèòü äîïîëíèòåëüíîå óñëîâèå ñðàáàòûâàíèÿ, íàïðèìåð, ïî ïîÿâëåíèþ íîâîãî ôàéëà (óñëîâèå íå èìååò ñìûñëà, ò.ê â ñàìîé çàäà÷å òîæå ñîäåðæèòñÿ óñëîâèå).

[Oleg]

Why not?

see such algorithm:

Task1 (with cyclic event):
Check existence of window
If true
   start task2
end if

Task2 (with file monitor trigger and other events):
...
do something
...


Also, pay attention, that you can start another task with parameters.
