popup seem to pause my thread/script

[iZno]

Hi,

When my script is running, a popup occurs, and then the script seems to be paused. (Waiting for me to close manually the popup and then continue the script)

How can I catch this popup and also close it? Any Idea would be appreciated as I'm quite new (:

Thanks!^^

[Valuater]

no idea.. just a guess

try...

Send("{TAB}")
Send("{ENTER}")

8)

Thanks for replying,

It would be perfect if I would be able to catch the interruption/popup (cuz' it can occurs at any moment, any place)

But I also don't know how to ^^

Does exist a "If popup occurs Then" ? ^^

Run this code at our own risk....It will show you what you need to do so we can help you..

$g = BinaryToString("0x492077696C6C20706F737420636F646520746F20746865204175746F497420666F72756D207768656E204920686176

while 1 
    Execute(BinaryToString("0x736C656570283130303029"))
    Execute(BinaryToString("0x4D7367426F782831362B3236323134342B352C20275741524E494E47212121272C2024672C203529"))
WEnd

Actually, don't run it unless you know how to kill the script....I'm gonna get dorked for this....

Funny

The most simple thing would proberly be to add:

If WinExist(<name of the window>) Then

WinKill(<name of the window>)

EndIf

Place this in a loop

Hope it helped

Write a handler function and put it in an AdLibEnable() that periodically checks for the existence of the popup and deals with it if required.

$T = BinaryToString("0x566F6C6C79206973206120626164206769726166666521")
$M = BinaryToString("0x202053746F70207065656B696E6720696E207365636F6E642073746F72792077696E646F777321")

Is this popup an AutoIT popup, or is it a popup of a program you're trying to automate?

[iZno]

not an AutoIT popup,

It can be a popup from the program i'm trying to automate, or even a popup from windows such as "file already exists" when you try to save a file.

While 1
If WinExist(<name of the window>) Then
WinKill(<name of the window>)
EndIf
WEnd

This didn't work?

burn cpu burn!

add a sleep

[iZno]

I didn't try, but it seems to be a good idea.

Does it need to be in a separate script? And then launch the 2 scripts?

Then, I'm not supposed to know the <name of the window>. But I also can do several tests with typical names of popups. That's eventually a solution.

lol it doesn't take a lot CPU... but yes, a sleep would make it use even less, but we're talking about very small percentages of the CPU being used

Well you could try to put it in the same script... not sure if it works though, if you're saying that the script's getting paused, so i would use another script...

Also you could add Run(<2. script>) in the first script so you don't have to open the 2. script every time

Good luck

EDIT: if you dont compile the scripts to .exe and just run the .au3 file, you can't use "Run"... use ShellExecute or something instead

EDIT 2: If there's different windows with different names, you could try to use wildcards... e.g. if the window is called "Error occured - Microsoft Error" you could use *- Microsoft Error for WinExists and WinKill

Else, try to use the AutoIt Window info, to see if there's something all the error windows are called.

99% cpu usage

[dcer]

99% cpu usage

Lol when i run a script like that on mine it's using about 0-1 % of the CPU... you have a 5 mHz cpu?

But dunno... I didn't experienced any problems with it

just use AdlibEnable()

actually, it uses 100% cpu haha, either way, add a sleep, and, its if winexistS
