Script hangs after application pops up modal dialog of application not responding - (Moved)

[deepSeeker]

Hello,

I am trying to automate an application, and when I send a ControlCommand to change the value of a ComboBox the application pops up a modal dialog "Application not responding" and that I want to close through script to resume another testcase execution. 

However after doing the ControlCommand the script seems to hang and control is not executing my code.

To check application not responding/hang issue, I am using AdlibRegister, which checks for such popup at 1sec.

But as script hangs at ControlCommand, adlibregister is not getting executed.

The piece of code that is having problems is something like:

AutoItSetOption ("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

...

    ControlCommand("program", "", 1000, "SetCurrentSelection", 1); this is executed
; AutoIt hangs here
    If WinWait("Error", "Error Message", 0.5) = 1 Then
      Send("{ENTER}")
    EndIf

Can someone please help.

How can i reproduce this? I find it weird that it crashes for a simple combobox action.

Hi,

It is not Combobox or Controlcommand issue. 

My app is having some defect which is crashing during combo box selection and script hangs.

Put some error checking in place. Show us the code.

[deepSeeker]

Local $hndCombo = ControlGetHandle($hWindow, "", "[CLASS:ComboBox; INSTANCE:2]")

$index = ControlCommand("[TITLE:MyApp]","", "[CLASS:ComboBox; INSTANCE:2]","FindString","100%")

ConsoleWrite (" Error while selecting 2" & $index &@CRLF)

;Application hangs at below statement and control doesnt come until pressed "Close Program" manually.
ControlCommand("[TITLE:MyApp]","", "[CLASS:ComboBox; INSTANCE:2]", "SetCurrentSelection", $index)

I found related post which was posted long back. My problem is exactly this, but I couldn't understand how it has been solved by person who posted it.

Any suggestion would help a lot.

Thank you.

Sry, Can't help. You shouldn't use 0.5 as timeout, use whole numbers, like was also stated in that post.

You can execute the controlcommand via run.  then that new process is deadlocked while your script may proceed.   there are examples in the help file under 'command line arguments': something like autoitexcecuteline or something similar.  formatting the quotes can be a bit tricky, but easy to test via command line.  I'll add an example when I get home.
