How to Automatically Close 'Alert' after sometime

[bluesapphire]

Hi!
How can an 'Alert' messagebox be closed after specific time, without clicking on 'OK' button.

Thanks in advance

This completely untested =), but you could try something like this.

var alertWindow = Ext.Msg.alert('Alert', 'An alert!');

(function() {
   alertWindow.hide();
}).defer(10000);

Ext.MessageBox.alert('Alert', 'An alert!');

(function() {
   Ext.MessageBox.hide();
}).defer(10000);

Modified to work

Ext.MessageBox is a singleton, thus a ref is not necessary.

Thanks jgarcia, and yes you are correct, a reference is not needed.

Shorter Ext.MessageBox.hide.defer(1500,this); also works

you sure you want the hide method to execute within the scope of window or whatever Object this references?
