How to close Windows Systems PopUp MsgBox

[jasochen]

Hi,

I'm newbie of Autoit, and trying to develop an automation tool on Windows.

Now the problem is, When I trying to do some operation on an Windows application, message box popup with error info, and it block the autoit script.

Is there any ways to close the popup msgbox within the script?

I tried many ways including the Timer, like:

Func MsgBoxDemo()
    $infoWnd = SplashTextOn("splash", "message", -1, -1, -1, -1, $DLG_TEXTVCENTER, "", 24)
    _Timer_SetTimer($infoWnd,3000,"FireMsg")
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "test", "demo1")
EndFunc

Func FireMsg($hWnd, $iMsg, $iIDTimer, $iTime)
    $errorWnd = WinActive("test")
    If $errorWnd <> 0 Then
        Send("{ENTER 1}")
    EndIf
EndFunc

 

It works for above example, but not in the real case,  it seems the MsgBox block the timer too.

I'm not sure whether it's about the MsgBox modal type..

 

Can any experts help on this?

 

Thanks
