GET STATUS of a TASK or RUNNING APPLICATION

[ronwilliams]

My first question did not get any response, so I thought I would rephrase the question.


If an launched application crashed the STATUS under Windows Task Manager turns from Running to Aborted. Is there any way I can have AMS see this?

Hope this is clearer.


Thanks

you mean the one you asked 2 hours before this one ?

anyways, a simple soultion to your problem would be to use AMSWaves super AutoIT plugin

Test

On Show
result = File.Run(_WindowsFolder.."\\notepad.exe", "", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);

AutoIt.WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad", "", 10)

if AutoIt.WinActive("Untitled - Notepad","") == 0 then
Dialog.Message("Error","Window Not Active")
else
Page.StartTimer(500)
end

On Timer
if AutoIt.WinActive("Untitled - Notepad","") == 0 then
Page.StopTimer()
Dialog.Message("Error","Window Not Active")
end

not very pretty but it works

Sorry for posting the same question twice in such a short period! I was just in such a hurry, because I had to deliver a presentation today and I was completely freaked out at the idea that the application launched from AMS would crash while presenting!!

Thank God it went smoothly.....

Thanks for the great reply, I will try and add it to my program to be safe for the next presentation.


Thanks again!
