Code:
Good evening I have a question, I would like to see if there is any way to eliminate an input (once it was formulated after a certain time.

For example:

var / mob / M = input (usr, "Hello", "What do you want") in list ("A", "B")

I would like that after some time the window of options A and B will be deleted

When you del the src of the proc the input is called in, the input window closes. So, you can create a new datum just for calling the input and then delete it whenever you want to close the window.

Could you cite an example please?

in writing through text can be through a list like the previous case? I decide between "Yes" and "No" and if I do not have time to erase

You'd want to add some other options than a basic input() call, you may want to add more procs to the MyInput datum like InputList() that takes a list as an argument or something along those lines.

I'm not sure i understand what you mean, but here is code. Also this code is just raw concept. This need some debugs like antispam input/alert method, or some default options in case when player don't chose any options from list, etc.
MyInput
    New(time)
        spawn(time) del src

    proc
        Input(caller=usr,caption="",title="",default="", list/L)
            if(L)   return input(caller,caption,title,default) in L as null|anything
            else    return input(caller,caption,title,default)

        Alert(caller=usr,caption="",title="",Button1="Ok",Button2,Button3)
            return alert(caller,caption,title,Button1,Button2,Button3)


mob
    verb/TestInput()
        var/MyInput/I = new(100) // Close after 10 seconds or so.
        //usr << I.Input(usr,"Hello!","Enter some text","Default text")
        //usr << I.Alert(usr,"Hello!","Enter some text","Ok", "No", "Cancel")
        usr << I.Input(usr,"Hello!","Enter some text","Default text", list("Yes","NO", "Duck", "Santa Claus"))

You'd want to add the "as null|anything" bit so you get a cancel button.
