Checking to see if there is an active Pop up window/Error window?

[garrettfulghum]

Is there a way to check if there is a window that has popped up when running a program? My current application is an external program sending code to inventor. In common cases, pop windows have occurred when opening\saving\changing LOD, etc...

I have tried doing some of the 'Quiet Saves' and 'Quiet Opens' but I would like to know if there is a sure fire way of checking to see if there is an active window that requires user input. Mainly because the program/operation takes a bit and I find myself walking away from my keyboard and coming back to an inventor message/popup that has prevented the program from continuing.

Since I'm using a 3rd party program, would it be possible to access the computers processes and see if there is an active window???

Any help/Advice would greatly be appreciated!

Hi,

Kill the running process?

with:

Try
            For Each p In Process.GetProcesses

                If p.ProcessName = "YOUR PROCESS NAME" Then

                        p.Kill()
                   
                End If
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

So I tried what you said and cant seem to find the certain process correlating to the popup-save window.

Wait a minute, there is a [skipDocumentSave] in part with the activating the LOD! Didn't even cross my mind! Sorry for the confusion!
