Example

This example shows the definition and use of an event handler function, close_unsaved_changes.

When exiting the Microsoft Word application with an open document containing unsaved changes, a Yes-No-Cancel message window with the title "Microsoft Word" appears prompting the user to save the document.

ctrx_execute_on_window specifies that when this dialog appears, the function close_unsaved_changes is invoked. This function tabs through to the dialog's "No" button and hits the "Enter" key, thereby exiting the application without saving.

int close_unsaved_changes(char win_title[]) {     /* Note: the parameter win_title is not used in the handler */
     ctrx_key("TAB_KEY", 0, CTRX_LAST); /* tab through to "No" button */
     ctrx_key("ENTER_KEY", 0, CTRX_LAST); /* hit the "No" button */

     return 0;
}

vuser_init () {

     /* If "Microsoft Word" popup appears then close it*/
     ctrx_execute_on_window("Microsoft Word", close_unsaved_changes);

     ctrx_set_connect_opt(APPLICATION, "#word");
     ctrx_set_connect_opt(NETWORK_PROTOCOL, "TCP/IP");
     ctrx_connect_server("ludens", "test", "test", "ludens");
     ctrx_wait_for_event("LOGON");
     ctrx_set_window("Document1 - Microsoft Word", CTRX_LAST);
     ctrx_type("This is a test", CTRX_LAST);
     lr_think_time(3);

     /* Close MS Word by clicking the X button of the title bar. This will cause 
      * the "Microsoft Word" unsaved changes dialog window to appear */
     ctrx_mouse_click(28, 38, LEFT_BUTTON, 0, "Document1 - Microsoft Word", CTRX_LAST);
     lr_think_time(1);
     ctrx_mouse_click(43, 404, LEFT_BUTTON, 0, "Document1 - Microsoft Word", CTRX_LAST);
     lr_think_time(5);
     ctrx_disconnect_server("ludens", CTRX_LAST);

     return 0;
