close a dialog box using power shell script

I'm calling a .exe file using powershell script as below.

cmd.exe /c "C:\Users\Desktop\SomeExecutable.exe password:ABCD123"

enter image description here When the password is correct, the executable runs smoothly. When the password is wrong, there will be a popup message, saying the password is wrong.

When the popup message appears, powershell script waiting till user closes the pop message. enter image description here

I want to programatically close this popup message.

Can you throw somelight how to achieve this?

you can use windows API for this purpose as shown here:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/22257/Find-and-Close-the-Window-using-Win-API

You can also use powershell for that purpose:

Add-Type -Name ConsoleUtils -Namespace WPIA -MemberDefinition @'
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
    public static extern int FindWindow(string lpClassName,string lpWindowName);
    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    public static extern int SendMessage(int hWnd, uint Msg, int wParam, int lParam);

    public const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;
    public const int SC_CLOSE = 0xF060;

'@
#find console window with tile "QlikReload" and close it. 

[int]$handle = [WPIA.ConsoleUtils]::FindWindow('ConsoleWindowClass','QlikReload')
if ($handle -gt 0)
{
   [void][WPIA.ConsoleUtils]::SendMessage($handle, [WPIA.ConsoleUtils]::WM_SYSCOMMAND, [WPIA.ConsoleUtils]::SC_CLOSE, 0)
}
