  • Disabling All Message Boxes for Automation process

    Posted by Roland Do on August 9, 2024 at 3:29 am

    Hello everyone,

    I’m currently working on an automation project using Omnis, and I’ve run into a bit of a roadblock. During the automation process, various message boxes (e.g., confirmation dialogs, error messages) pop up and interrupt the flow, which is causing issues.

    I wanted to ask if there’s a way to globally turn off all message boxes—either through settings, configuration, or within the method itself—so they don’t interfere with the automation. However, I would still like to keep these message boxes active during normal, manual usage.

    If anyone has experience with this or knows of a workaround, I’d greatly appreciate your guidance!

    Thanks in advance!

    In our framework we use custom windows for messaging. This allows us to disable user interaction during automation.

    As far as I know there isn’t a system-wide way to disable the built-in dialog messages.

    If you don’t want to build your own you could factor the messaging to common code and wrap in conditional checks to bypass during automation.

    Hope that helps!
