yt0k 0 Posted November 29, 2010 Hello everyone, I am pretty new to AutoIt script writing. I am having a bit of trouble with closing programs that use the Alt key. For example, running the script that is provided in AutoIt Help: Run("notepad.exe") WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad") Send("This is some text.") WinClose("Untitled - Notepad") WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Do you want to save") Send("!n") When the script finishes, and the "Do you want to save?" box appears, nothing happens. I've tried uppercase N and lowercase n. I can get Window key commands "#" to work but nothing with the Alt key. I am running Windows 7 64 Bit Edition and using autoit-v3.3.5.6-beta. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any advice. Please do not flame me if I clearly overlooked something. -yt0k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melba23 3,455 Posted November 29, 2010 yt0k,MS have changed the text of the dialog in Vista and Win7 since the Help file was created. Just change the WinWaitActive line to read:WinWaitActive("Notepad")and it should work.

iamtheky 927 Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) how about some sleep instead of winwaitactive. (on my slow box it was closing anyway tho) Run("notepad.exe") WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad") Send("This is some text.") sleep(1000) WinClose("Untitled - Notepad") sleep (1000) Send("!n") Edited November 29, 2010 by iamtheky ,-. .--. ________ .-. .-. ,---. ,-. .-. .-. .-. |(| / /\ \ |\ /| |__ __||| | | || .-' | |/ / \ \_/ )/ (_) / /__\ \ |(\ / | )| | | `-' | | `-. | | / __ \ (_) | | | __ | (_)\/ | (_) | | .-. | | .-' | | \ |__| ) ( | | | | |)| | \ / | | | | | |)| | `--. | |) \ | | `-' |_| (_) | |\/| | `-' /( (_)/( __.' |((_)-' /(_| '-' '-' (__) (__) (_) (__) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
