Macro for "clicking" OK in dialogue

[rustysilo]

What would the macro be (not necessarily lisp) for accepting or otherwise "clicking" the OK button of a dialogue box?

What exactly are you trying to acheive?

[rustysilo]

I'm creating a toolbar which calls a lisp file and at the end the lisp initiates a pop-up dialog. I need the code for my toolbar to accept and dismiss the pop-up dialog so I can add to my macro and run other commands.

I think you'd be best off learning VBA:

Sub YeaNo()
Dim Answer As String
response = MsgBox("What say; YOu or NAy?", vbYesNo)
If response = Yes Then
Answer = Yes
Else
Answer = No
End If
End Sub

[rustysilo]

But all I need to know is how to dismiss this dialogue box. A macro/string of text that would essentially = clicking OK, Esc, or Enter

Oh you mean there is a dialog Yes/No that comes from an AUtoCAD Command that you'd like to by-pass? Try EXPERT?

Well it's simply an alert box with an OK button that's part of a lisp file, but more or less the same sort of deal I guess.
I just removed that part from the lisp file so I don't have to figure this out, although it would still be nice to know for future reference.
Thanks.

insert in your macro file the alert function
ex.

 
^C^C(ALERT "HELLO WORLD")

[rustysilo]

No. I don't want to know how to create the alert box. I want to know how to dismiss one. What is the code to dismiss an alert box that pops up as a result of a previous function within the macro coding? Is there a macro code that will do this?

Take a look at system variable EXPERT

Setting EXPERT can affect scripts, menu macros, AutoLISP, and the command functions.
