how to check if save is prompted for

[Yaelh]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone can help me - I have a situation where when running a program

from a script before exiting the program I need to check if the save message will popup or not

and if so then to save.

I know I can always save before exiting but this seems not to be good enough.

I use

send("{alt}")

send("f")

send("x")

and then somethimes I'm prompted for a save and sometimes not.

So how can I check if I was prompted for a save or not ?

Thanks in Advance

Get the characteristics of the message window that asks for the save (title, text) and use it with the WinExists() function:

If WinExists("Save File", "Do you want to save?") Then
; Handle if it did pop up
Else
; Handle if it did not
EndIf

heres what i use with notepad

WinClose($LOG_TITLE)
If WinExists("Notepad", "&Yes") Then ControlClick("Notepad", "&Yes", "Button1")
