How to tell if a window is a response dialog
Keywords: modal response dialog modeless
Question:
Is there any way for WinBatch to determine whether a given window is a modal response dialog, as
opposed to a modeless "main" window? My goal is to automatically close any response windows that may
open while running batch jobs unattended.
Answer:
The Control Manager Extender might help you out here. It can be downloaded from
the WIL Add-Ons section of our download page.
Question (thread continued):
I have the Control Manager and have checked but so far been unable to find any way to tell if a window is
a modal "response" dialog. Any other ideas?
By the way, thanks for quick response time.
Answer:
Hmmm. Is the window "modal". I know of no good way of checking. Perhaps if you hit the parent window
with a cEnableState from the Control Manager extender. If the current window is modal, the parent should
be disabled...
