onQueryClose / onClose

me again

;D

Having dramas trying to get an app to restart the computer at the end of another (external) apps installation process.

Currently I have an application that will install drivers etc on the users PC, but (for various reasons) will not restart the computer.

What I want is another app that will poll and check to see if the external app has closed, and thus initiate a reboot.

The thing is, the external app uses InstallShield Wizard, which fires off an ungodly amount of windows.... so I can't just poll one specific window.

Currently I am doing:

// look for all active InstallShield Wizard windows
ws = Window.getWindowsByName("InstallShield Wizard");

for (i = 0; i < ws.length; i++) {

// check to see if the window is being closed
// if so pop up a dialog box informing the user that their PC will restart

ws[i].onClose = function () {

// for testing I want to use a Yes / No dialog box
// so that I don't restart my computer accidently....
// the actual code will only use an OK dialog box

var r = Dialogs.msgBox("Your PC will now restart", null, 36);
trace("YOUR PC SHOULD NOW RESTART");
if (r == 6) {
SysInfo.reboot();
}
return false;
}
}

But the dialog box doesn't fire off....

Any ideas?

Cheers,

lol, I think I've figured it out....

I've found the handle of the LAST box, and am using that as a check.

If that handle is found fire off a dialog box, otherwise wait....

Sorry for wasting your time again,
