How to kill Dialog Box from another app

[rajdodo]

I have developed an application in VB 5.0. This app is user unattened app. In this app a dialog box with a specified title appears at any time. Due to this dialog box the app suspends. Thus i want to kill this dialog box from an another app. The only thing i know about this dialog box is its title.

Note : According to my logic the solution is to create an another app, which will keep an eye on the current active dialog box, and if the dialog box's title matches with the desired one, then kill it.

Could you not avoid showing the dialog box from teh app?

Cheers!

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
 
Private Const WM_CLOSE = &H10
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Dim lngHWND     As Long
Dim strCaption  As String
    strCaption = "The caption of the MsgBox that the app pops up..." 'Change this )
    lngHWND = FindWindow(vbNullString, strCaption)
    If lngHWND <> 0 Then
        PostMessage lngHWND, WM_CLOSE, 0&, 0&
    End If
End Sub

This code will destroy a window as long as your know it's title...
