Interacting with a dialog started with a QProcess

[craven]

Good Morning,

The problem is as follows, I am writing a batch converter that uses external programs to convert the files. Converting office binary files to the office xml files. I am converting a lot of excel files that have illegal formulas in them. This causes an assertion dialog to pop up. The assert dialog contains debug information and is modeless.

I want to be able get my program to automatically press/activate the ignore button.


I start the program using qprocess. I have tried the Write(), putChar(), and they successfully send the data, but this doesn't affect the assert dialog.

Any help or direction would be great.

Thanks!

The only solution I can think of and only on Windows is to use the native WinAPI calls - FindWindow() and PostMessage().

Just about noon here. :-) The land of Canada.

Don't have access to those. all I have is the QT tool kits.

It is a bit of a pain. Thanks though.

You don't have access to WinAPI on Windows? Hmm... how come?

[craven]

Rather, I haven't installed it. I am good with QT on linux, but this is my first foray into programming on a windows platform.

I am not even sure how I would go about getting them include.

May fortune favour the foolish.

You don't have to install WinAPI... It's the native programming environment on Windows. Qt uses it as well.

Thanks, I think I got it figured out. I managed to get the findwindow and postmessage to work. we shall see how this all works.

I have to run the test, but it should work now.

Craven.
