Handle Notepad Message Box

[Dinakaran]

Hi Team,

I am new to AutoIT and I am trying to do my first script. What I am trying to do it open a notepad and type some thing and closing the notepad. The problem I am facing unable to handle the "Do you want to save changes to Untitled?" message box

Please find my code below

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("HelloWorld.")
//Handle Save message box
WinWaitActive("Notepad")
WinActivate("Notepad")
ControlClick("Notepad","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:3]")

When I execute the script I am getting the error in expression.

Please help me on this.

Dinakaran,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

I am delighted that you found the solution, but I find your implied criticism ("thanks for the help") a little rich given that you only had only posted the original plea 5 minutes previously.

Remember this is not a 24/7 support forum - those who answer are only here because they like helping others and have some time to spare.  You just have to wait until someone who knows something about your particular problem, and is willing to help, comes online.  Be patient and someone will answer eventually - or you may even find the answer yourself while waiting!

P.S. When you post code in future please use Code tags - see here how to do it.  Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags.

Hi Melba,

Sorry for that statement. I didn't actually said that for criticise. Actually I thanked the AutoIT team members because i found solution only though AutoIT forums. 

Sorry If that statement hurted anyone.

Notepad is good for gui practice.  But there is no need to ever automate that app.  Just use filewrite.
