terrypin Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Is there some neat way to detect if an application X is already loaded (but not activated)? If it's already loaded I want to Activate it, and take various steps. Otherwise I want to Launch it, wait for a longish time, and then take those same steps. For my intended macro I can't just use Activate/Launch followed by a Wait for Window Title command. I want to paste some data to the program, and that is possible almost immediately if I just have to activate it, but it needs 15-20 secs if I have to load the program first. However, the title comes up fast in a second or so, with the long wait after that. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunkel321 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi Terry, There is an "If program not running" command. Maybe that is what you need? It is in with the 'Logic' commands. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Have you tried the 'Delay in Seconds' option in the Advanced tab of the Activate or Launch: command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypin Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Steve: Thanks, exactly what I need - somehow overlooked that! Kevin: Yes, thanks, experimenting with that this afternoon and it gave me a much-improved macro. But next I'll try the If Program commands Steve suggested which look as if they might completely meet my requirement. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
