Default is blank (empty), which means to wait for the status bar to become blank. The text is case sensitive and the matching behavior is determined by <a href="SetTitleMatchMode.htm">SetTitleMatchMode</a>, similar to <em>WinTitle</em> below.</p> <p>To instead wait for the bar's text to <em>change</em>, either use <a href="StatusBarGetText.htm">StatusBarGetText</a> in a loop, or use the RegEx example at the bottom of this page.</p></dd> <dt>Timeout</dt> <dd><p>The number of seconds (can contain a decimal point or be an <a href="../Variables.htm#Expressions">expression</a>) to wait before timing out, in which case <a href="../misc/ErrorLevel.htm">ErrorLevel</a> will be set to 1. Default is blank, which means the command will wait indefinitely. Specifying 0 is the same as specifying 0.5.</p></dd> <dt>Part#</dt> <dd><p>Which part number of the bar to retrieve, which can be an <a href="../Variables.htm#Expressions">expression</a>. Default 1, which is usually the part that contains the text of interest.</p></dd> <dt>WinTitle</dt> <dd><p>A window title or other criteria identifying the target window. See <a href="../misc/WinTitle.htm">WinTitle</a>.</p></dd> <dt>WinText</dt> <dd><p>If present, this parameter must be a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility). Hidden text elements are detected if <a href="DetectHiddenText.htm">DetectHiddenText</a> is ON.</p></dd> <dt>Interval</dt> <dd><p>How often the status bar should be checked while the command is waiting (in milliseconds), which can be an <a href="../Variables.htm#Expressions">expression</a>. Default is 50. </p></dd> <dt>ExcludeTitle</dt> <dd><p>Windows whose titles include this value will not be considered.</p></dd> <dt>ExcludeText</dt> <dd><p>Windows whose text include this value will not be considered.</p></dd> </dl> <h2 id="Error_Handling">Error Handling</h2> <p><span class="ver">[v1.1.04+]</span>: This command is able to throw an exception if the status bar couldn't be accessed. For more information, see <a href="Catch.htm#RuntimeErrors">Runtime Errors</a>.</p> <p><a href="../misc/ErrorLevel.htm">ErrorLevel</a> is set to 1 if the command times out before a match could be found in the status bar. It is set to 2 if the status bar could not be accessed. It is set to 0 if a match is found.</p> <h2 id="Remarks">Remarks</h2> <p>StatusBarWait attempts to read the first <em>standard</em> status bar on a window (class msctls_statusbar32). Some programs use their own status bars or special versions of the MS common control. Such bars are not supported.</p> <p>Rather than using <a href="StatusBarGetText.htm">StatusBarGetText</a> in a loop, it is usually more efficient to use StatusBarWait because it contains optimizations that avoid the overhead that repeated calls to <a href="StatusBarGetText.htm">StatusBarGetText</a> would incur.</p> <p>StatusBarWait determines its target window before it begins waiting for a match. If that target window is closed, the command will stop waiting even if there is another window matching the specified <em>WinTitle</em> and <em>WinText</em>.</p> <p>While the command is in a waiting state, new <a href="../misc/Threads.htm">threads</a> can be launched via <a href="../Hotkeys.htm">hotkey</a>, <a href="Menu.htm">custom menu item</a>, or <a href="SetTimer.htm">timer</a>.</p> <p>Window titles and text are case sensitive. Hidden windows are not detected unless <a href="DetectHiddenWindows.htm">DetectHiddenWindows</a> has been turned on.</p> <h2 id="Related">Tópicos relacionados</h2> <p><a href="StatusBarGetText.htm">StatusBarGetText</a>, <a href="WinGetTitle.htm">WinGetTitle</a>, <a href="WinGetText.htm">WinGetText</a>, <a href="ControlGetText.htm">ControlGetText</a></p> <h2 id="Examples">Exemplos</h2> <div class="ex" id="ExSearch"> <p><a class="ex_number" href="#ExSearch"></a> Enters a new search pattern into an existing Explorer/Search window.</p> <pre>if WinExist("Search Results") <em>; Sets the Last Found window to simplify the below.</em> { WinActivate Send, {tab 2}!o*.txt{enter} <em>; In the Search window, enter the pattern to search for.</em> Sleep, 400 <em>; Give the status bar time to change to "Searching".</em> StatusBarWait, found, 30 if ErrorLevel MsgBox, The command timed out or there was a problem. else MsgBox, The search successfully completed. }</pre> </div> <div class="ex" id="ExChange"> <p><a class="ex_number" href="#ExChange"></a> Waits for the status bar of the active window to <strong>change</strong>.
