1) Hi, below is my skript, which executes .bat file.
when dos window is up and running, i am trying to execute dos commands
to stop the execution.
the command prompt does not respond, even when i am entering commands my self.
the title of the window does not red: c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe.
instead i found that scheduler runs it in it own dos environment some kind.
title of the window reads 24x7.....
what am i doing wrong? script below.
2) secondly i could not get to work windowclickbutton. i did try it on a different windows, never got it to click a button. please help.

the script:
Dim(w_handle,number)
dim(title,string,"24x7 -> P:\LAUNCHENGINE.BAT")
dim(p_id,number)
dim(w_handle_1,number)

windowfind(title,w_handle)
windowgetprocess(w_handle,p_id)
processkill(p_id)
//sendkeys("{CTRL}C")
//wait(2)
//sendkeys("{y}")
//wait(2)
//sendkeys("{ENTER}")
windowclose(w_handle)
wait(1)
windowgetactive(w_handle_1)
windowclickbutton(w_handle_1,"End Task")

0) SendKeys does not work with DOS box on NT. This is not supported by Windows NT.

1) Turn off the tracing and then it will work as normal
2) "End Task" button does not belong to the DOS window, it belongs to the Message box window. That's why the WindowClickButton statement does not work in this case as the specified window handle is not good.

thanks, but could you tell me where do i turn the traicing off, please.
and you are right. "end task was a button of the message box window, which usually appears when you try to end the task, that is why i did that, as you could see, script was closing the dos window. so windowclickbutton still did not work.
please help.

Tracing is controlled in the options, Click Tools/Options menu then go to Log
tab page of the options dialog.

Use WindowFind to find the handle of the message box, and then try your windowclickbutton

By the way, if instead of killing the DOS box you kill the instance of the DOS virtual machine, which is running your DOS box, you don't need to deal with all these "End process" messages. If you start the DOS program yourself using plain JAL Run or other Run.. statement you have the process id returned as a result. You can use it to kill the process. Here is an example:

// Run the DOS command interpreter
Dim process_id, number
Run "cmd.exe", "", process_id
// Let's wait 3 seconds so you have a chance to see the DOS box
Wait 3
// Kill it
ProcessKill process_id

Is that simple?
