Hi,

I use invoke-expression to call a command to extract a big file, which will take about 30 seconds to complete. When the extraction completed, a window will pop up, and I need to click the OK button in it in order to close the window and let me script going on. Currently what I did is, use invoke-expression to extract the file, sleep 60 second, then I suppose the pop up window has been shown on the screen, so I use kill command to kill the process. My question is, how can I check the existence of the window with a specified window title (or windows class)? If I can check the existence of the window, then I will don't need to wait 60 seconds, i just need to continuously check the existence of the window, if it appear(which mean the extraction completed), then I can kill the process safely. Hope you guys can give some suggestions.

Thank you!
