FileFindNextFile can I stop 'OK' Popup?

[jaycee]

I need to put all filenames from a directory into an array but without intervention. The FileFindNextFile popup window named 'File:' stops execution and waits for input to 'OK' button after each file is found.

I have tried WinClose,WinKill,ControlSend and ControlCommand but the window will not respond to any of these even though the control ID and name are used.

Is there a way to get around this or a better way to read all the file names into the array?

Thanks for any suggestions.

FileFindNextFile does not cause any windows to popup. It only returns a filename. Please post some code so we can see what you're doing.

if i had to guess.... i'd say his code is this:

; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory
$search = FileFindFirstFile("*.*")  

; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    
    MsgBox(4096, "File:", $file)
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)

that's what's in the help file for example. remove the following line and you should be fine.

MsgBox(4096, "File:", $file)

...that was my guess too (that the code was from the help file)... but you beat me to the post.

...but where is the array that jaycee asked for? :-)

I cannot test right now - so don't want to post code.........later

edit:typos and add smilie to indicate that I did not expected cameronsdad to write all of the code for jaycee :-)

Thanks for the replies.

It was past midnight when I posted message and was too tired to see the obvious.

Looked at code 6am today and reason was obvious....had left in a msgbox from an earlier testing session....just couldn't see it for looking!!

It is part of a subroutine in a set of progs which enables WindowsXP printing using a touchscreen (without mouse or keyboard).

Have been using AutIt for just a few days but it is a great tool.

Thanks again.
