Automatically close problematic dialog popups in sublime text 3.

gistfile1.txt

This closes the popups instantly so you never see them and they dont effect indenting etc. Works on windows. 

To install 
  1. open sublime
  2. go to tools -> Developer -> New Plugin
  3. paste the code into the document (replacing any existing code sublime includes in the document)
  4. save the file using the default user plugin directory sublime suggests.
  (on windows this is C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages\User) 
  5. Restart.


Now if a popup comes up itll instantly close.

Note: While this plugin does close the sublime and SFTP licence reminder popups, you should consider paying for the licence rather and supporting the developers. However money isnt always an option for some, and the pop-ups cause issues with indenting in sublime so this plugin is useful for people who wish to fix that issue.

                ctypes.windll.user32.SendMessageW(hwnd, 0x0010, 0, 0)  # 0x0010 is WM_CLOSE
            return True

        ctypes.windll.user32.EnumWindows(EnumWindowsProc(enum_windows_callback), 0)
        
    def on_pre_save_async(self, *args):
        time.sleep(0.1)  # Brief delay to ensure dialog has time to appear if it does
        self.close_dialog_boxes()

if ctypes.windll.user32.IsWindowVisible(hwnd): adding that after if class_name == TARGET_CLASS_NAME: removes the Windows error sound

nice! was looking for a way to stop that for a while but gave up lol. Thank you.
