The script that I have been working on is still growing as I take more and more things into consideration. One of those things is making sure the reports That I am running with this script are saved in the correct location.

I have looked through a bunch of different functions and I think the ControlTreeView is my best bet to select the proper network drive and folder to save this out to. My first question is am I right?

If I am correct the question then How would I properly format my item to select a particular folder. I'm not quite following the help file.

sriKnight,

I would take a look at FileSelectFolder if I were you.

all that did was create a popup with the folder name. It didn't select anything from my "save as" window......

sriKnight,

You asked for something "to select the proper network drive and folder" - that is what the FileSelectFolder function does and why I suggested it. Now you speak of a "save as" window" - that is another thing altogether.

What exactly do you want to do and what code do you have so far to do it? Is this "save as" window something you have coded in your script or a dialog in another app? Help us to help you by clearly explaining the problem - I could suggest possible solutions all night, but I get bored quickly when people keep changing the goalposts in mid-thread.

Ok....... Lets try this again.


I am writing a script that will navigate the software that my company uses to run reports every month. Process of my script is to log into the GUI, run a report(Crystal Reports), export to a pdf, and save that pdf to a folder on a network drive.

Here is most of my script( all I need to to is copy and paste 2 times and change some labels)

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

;;This is the window that shows when I elect to export and save my report. 
WinWaitActive("Export Report")
WinActivate("Export Report")
;saves the file
$hWnd = WinWait("Export Report", "")
;sets the file name to the current date.
ControlSetText($hWnd, "", "[CLASSNN:Edit1]", "TJC WIP_" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "-" & @YEAR)
;; Saves the file as a pdf
Sleep(700)
send("{TAB}")
sleep(700)
Send("{DOWN}")
sleep(700)
send("{DOWN}")
sleep(700)
Send("{ENTER}")

ControlClick($hWnd,"","[CLASSNN:Button1]")
WinActivate("Export Report", "Export completed.")
WinWaitActive("Export Report")
ControlClick("Export Report", "OK", 2, "left")

WinActivate("CORRIDOR")

Where I have run into issues is with the window that my software generates to save the file.

Problem #1 - I have having difficulties getting AutoIT to "cleanly" elect to save the file as a .pdf. I currently use keyboard navigation for this process. I have already created a thread for this issue, but I never got it resolved.


Here is the Information for that particular control ....

Problem #2 - While saving the file I would like to specify the folder on a net work drive that this document will be saved to. This is done from the same window that the software we uses generates. Here is the control info for that System Tree.
