A very simple problem. D:

When I first ran the script the message box that I had it open telling the user Bye closed via the Send("OK") function, but after that first time I have to manually click the OK button. Did I do something wrong that's causing it to not work?

I just starting using AutoIt so it's a pretty simple script. D:

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

Sleep(500)

Send("I made this program using AutoIt as well as its' example scripts that came with it.")

Sleep(1000)

Send("{ENTER}I think it's pretty cool.")

MsgBox(0,"Attention.", "Good Bye!")

WinWaitActive("Attention.")

Send("OK")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

Sleep(1000)

Send("!f")
Send("x")

WinWaitActive("Notepad")
Send("y")

WinWaitActive("Save As")

Send("I made this.{ENTER}")

The message "Attention" box gets clicked by the user and goes away. Then this line

WinWaitActive("Attention.")

is waiting and waiting for that title that will never show

I think that I might be understanding what you're saying. =(

But, once I start the script even if I don't even move the cursor or push any keys the OK command still fails to close the message box, and I know that it's used, because when it gets stuck on the message box and I hit the OK button the text OK isn't sent to the notepad that's open. D:

If the O is underlined then its &OK but why not judt get the control ID and do it that way? Use the AutoIt window Spy to get the control information
