Simple Scripting Problem 1

[jomtones3]

Writing a little command prompt script to 'politely' close a bunch of programs, using the excellent 'process' command

Trouble is one program pops up an 'are you sure' dialog. Any easy way to say 'yes' to this in a script?

Cheers!

This is a bit messy. You need to know the title of the dialog that pops up. Add the following VBScript after the process command. Put it in a .vbs file and run it using cscript You will need to change the window title.

const WINDOW_TITLE = "Confirm"
Dim WSHShell
Dim success
Dim activated

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
waiting = vbTrue

While waiting
   WScript.Sleep 50
   activated = WSHShell.AppActivate(WINDOW_TITLE)

   While Not activated
      Wscript.Sleep 10
      activated = WSHShell.AppActivate(WINDOW_TITLE)
   Wend

   WSHShell.SendKeys(KEYS_TO_SEND)
   WScript.Sleep 50
   waiting = WSHShell.AppActivate(WINDOW_TITLE)
Wend
Set WshShell = Nothing
