close msgbox() with hotkey

[Negative1]

Is it possible to close a msgbox with a hotkey? I used winclose in a function however it seams the function does not get called until the user closes the msgbox.

why would you want to close you own created msgbox.??

I want to put some troubleshooting hotkeys into my program. EG: press control + ~ and it closes the normal "user" screens and goes into troubleshooting mode.

It appears autoit msgbox always has a class of #32770

This works for me

#Include <Misc.au3>

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

MsgBox(0,"","I LOVE AUTOIT")

While 1

; esc

if _IsPressed("1B", $dll) then winclose("[class:#32770]","")

sleep(100)

WEnd

That Hotkey doesn't do didly.

try this one liner script: MsgBox(0, "", "I LOVE AUTOIT")

run it and hit ESC. same result.

MsgBox() is a blocking Function so cannot be closed with a hotkey. Build your own GUI msgbox if anything like this is required.

Alternatively you could compile the script as a console app, then spew output to the console window using consolewrite()
