How do I find a "Save As" window with AutoHotkey? - autohotkey

Question

I'm trying to find out if there is a "Save As" box open with this WinExist script
if WinExist,Save As,Save As
MsgBox, is there
else
MsgBox, is not there

Answer 1

Your original code is almost correct:
The space between if and WinExist must be removed.
The second parameter of ifWinExist is WinTitle. If the Save As dialog does not contain the text "Save As", you must remove that second parameter. This is the case on my Windows 7 system with English (Australia) regional settings.
Working examples:
; ifWinExist command
ifWinExist, Save As
MsgBox, is there
else
MsgBox, is not there
; if(expression) and WinExist() function
if WinExist("Save As")
MsgBox, is there
else
MsgBox, is not there
You can also combine criteria:
ifWinExist, Save As ahk_class #32770

Assuming it is an OSs' window, I would do something like,
^F1:: ;press Control + F1 to serch the window.
if FindWindow()
msgbox Found
else
msgbox Not Found
Return
FindWindow(strPartOfTitle="Save", strClass="#32770") {
if (hWnd := WinExist("ahk_class " . strClass))
{
WinGetTitle, strWinTitle, ahk_id %hWnd%
if InStr(strWinTitle, strPartOfTitle)
return true
else
return false
}
}
