[automagician]

WinActivate("iScope v2.24.3")
WinWaitActive("iScope v2.24.3")
ControlClick("iScope v2.24.3", "", 29799)

ControlClick looks for the Control ID, which in this case is 29799

well, Ive tried that and it seems to send the buttton press but to soon as the main application is also labled iscope v2.24.3

so

WinWaitActive("iScope v2.24.3")

is always active this is a popup with the same title.

I am very new to autoit, and Im sure there is a simply solution But I dont know it.

any thoughts?

Why not use WinClose() ?

[automagician]

WinWaitActive ( "title", ["text"], [timeout] )

Try adding text to WinWaitActive that is specific to the box with the close button that you are trying to click.

or WinClose() if the button click isn't important.

Let me know if that helps...

Method 1

ControlClick("iScope v2.24.3", "", "Button1")

Method 2

ControlClick("iScope v2.24.3", "", "Close")

As MHz suggested, WinClose

Method 3

WinClose("iScope v2.24.3")

Why not use WinClose() ?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That may be an option, I need to wait till this popup is active to ensure the process the script started is complete, but perhaps I can simply use some sort of time function to wait 2 min the use winclose()

[automagician]

You shouldn't have to wait 2 minutes, one of the above methods should work. Typically it's not good automation practice to use a wait statement in this case, becasue if the popup comes up in 20secs, you are wasting 1m 40s of time....

Did you try using text that is specific to the popup window? I believe you will still run into the same problem using the suggestions from Slim, because the main window has the same title....right Slim?

Slim, Did you see the post about the popup having the same window title as the main window? Won't this cause the same problem if sent too early?

[MHz]

WinWait('iScope', 'Selected Tasks Finished')
WinClose('iScope', 'Selected Tasks Finished')

WinWait should pause the script, til it arrives.

Edit: It has different text, right?

[mattfaust]

the popup itself has "selected tasks finished"

and a button that says "close"

when i use

WinWait('iScope v2.24.3', 'Selected Tasks Finished')

WinClose('iScope v2.24.3', 'Selected Tasks Finished')

the program closes too early.

I cant find "Selected Tasks Finished" anywhere else on the previos screens.

cant I identify this popup by:

Control ID: 1001

ClassNameNN: MDIdialogCL293840241

[MHz]

Opt("WinSearchChildren", 1)
WinWait('iScope', 'Selected Tasks Finished')
ControlClick('iScope', 'Selected Tasks Finished', 'Button1')

Another similar option. Try this.
