Can't kill error message


Recommended Posts

OK, after days looking at my code, the help file and forums I come (again) for help on message windows.

I'm having trouble trying to close window messages that appear. This is the code I'm using

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $obs_handler = 0
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

While 1
    $obs_handler = WinWait("C:\Users\", "", 1)
    If IsHWnd($obs_handler) then
        MsgBox($MB_OK, "Message", "handler: "&$obs_handler, 1)
        ;Sleep(100)
        $obs_handler = HWND($obs_handler)
        WinKill($obs_handler, "") ;<<<<< PROBLEM!!!!!
    Else
        MsgBox($MB_OK, "Message", "No handler", 1)
    EndIf
    Send("{ESC}")
    Sleep(2000)
    $obs_handler = 0
WEnd

The problem is on the Winkill command, it won't just close the window! 

Winwait is capturing the handler, it checks as handler. Ii'm using the HWND() command just to be sure it is the correct variable type.  I've also checked the message box info with the autoit window info tool and the handle value matches the one captured by the code. 

I've tried winkill, winclose, using wingethandle, moving the winkill command to Before the message box so it is not converted to a string, and now using the hwnd function to force the variable type of the handler. The use of the sleep command does not make any diference.

As a side quest, I'd like to use classes to capture the windows instead of titles, just to keep things cleaner, but using the [CLASS:...] value for winwait is not working. I have the class name and number, am I missing something? 

 

Thanks!

Can you please post the information you get from the AutoIt Window Info Tool? Since this is generated by your redacted application it is a bit difficult to make guesses as to what information is available to you.

According to the help file: Some windows (notably explorer windows) can only be terminated using WinClose().

So you might be forced to click the OK button or send Enter to the window.

 I did try Winclose to no avail... you are saying that I have to specifically send the OK command instead of using the function?

In my OutlookEX UDF you will find a function (used with _OL_Open) to click away security warnings 😃

Which one is? 

I tried ControlClick to send a click to the OK button, again is not working. 

I read in some thread that using Opt to gives windows inmunity to winkill, is that bug still there?

Ok, Just to leave it on record, it looks like the Opt function is still bugged! And it is not only with the GUI option, but also affected by the Title Match option

Out of curiosity I took off that line and the script is now working flawlessly.

 

Thanks for the help and advice
