Subject: if expression within a thread

Hi,

I am using  Watir and Autoit (win32 test tool)

Here is my code


      autoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
      t = Thread.new(autoit) {
      if autoit.WinWait("Authentication Required", "", 5) ==
1
         autoit.Send(username)
         autoit.Send("{TAB}")
         autoit.Send(password)
         autoit.Send("{ENTER}")
      end
      }
      m = Thread.new(self) {self.goto(url)}
      m.join; t.join


  When a user navigates to a url, an authentication dialog may appear.

  If this appears I would like to enter a username and password

  If I manually type the url and run this

     require 'win32ole'
     autoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
     autoit.WinWait("Authentication Required", "", 5)

  A success of 1 is returned.

  I wonder if I can use if expressions in Ruby threads, as the if
block is never executed. Maybe the   winwait function in autoit is not
able to thread.

 Any ideas, please?

  Thanks

  Aidy
