Hello -

I need to be able to automatically click the OK button everytime a certian message box shows up in a given windows application.

I've been reading a few articles about using the Windows API to automatically do stuff like this, but I was wondering what the best way to go about it is. Should I use the mouse_event message to move the mouse over the button and click it? Or should I send tabs and enters via the keyboard to hit the button? Or is there a way to trigger the click event on the button directly?

Also most of the API commands require the hWnd of the given window or control, how can I find that? Will it always be the same for a given button in one application (I would assume not)?

Any input would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Does this do the trick?

Yes Greg is right but .....
Why not this... :)

DoCmd.SetWarnings 0 or 1

I know both are the same but SetWarnings save space ... and easy ..too

If you are using messagebox in your code then the answer is NO. The reason is messagebox is a modal form. APIs will not work unless they are in another process.

If you want to write another program to close messagebox of a different program then start with FindWindow API call.
