Automatic Button Click - (Moved)

[DWoods]

I am wanting to create a script that once running it will continue to run until forcibly stopped or the server is restarted.

where it will look for particular dialog boxes that contain specific text and select the option of Yes each time.

I am new to using AutoIT and been trying to get my head round how everything works so if a script is available already that would be perfect.

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

There is certainly an already written script that is performing what you want, but you will need to search for it.

But since it is quite an easy script to write, I would suggest you take a look at WinExists using special definition [CLASS:#32770].  If you find one then ControlSend a "^y" to it.  Loop forever with a small Sleep(100) to give some air to the CPU.

I have searched for scripts that have already been made and have found very little, from what I have found I have put together something but it is not working at all. here is the script I have so far.

$Title = "Lexis Visualfiles (Press HELP to view stack trace)"

If WinExists("[TITLE:$Title; CLASS:#32770;]") Then
ControlClick("[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1; "^y"]")
EndIf
While 1
Sleep(100)
Wend

Any help at all would be perfect, and I will apologies in advance if I do not understand aspects that provided in comments, I am a novice to autoit so trying to learn bits as I go along and from what I read.

I'll give you a hand on this, try :

Opt ("MustDeclareVars", 1)

HotKeySet ("{ESC}", _Exit)
Const $sTitle = "Lexis Visualfiles (Press HELP to view stack trace)"

While True
  If WinExists("[TITLE:$sTitle; CLASS:#32770]") Then
    ControlSend("[TITLE:$sTitle; CLASS:#32770]", "", "", "!y")
  EndIf
  Sleep(100)
Wend

Func _Exit ()
  Exit
EndFunc

Made I dyslexic typo, it should be "!y" (alt-y) instead of "^y" (ctrl-y).  Read carefully help file about those functions that I used.

If you still have problem, try practicing with an app that I can run (e.g. Notepad or Paint).

And please use this tool, when you post code.
