A very simple example to show problem that the macro paused after submit clicked

[chenxu]

this is the code:

CODE

#include <IE.au3>

;#include <Misc.au3>

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()

$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()

$guiHandle = GUICreate("MyGUI", 800, 600,1,1, _

$WS_CAPTION + $WS_SYSMENU + $WS_MINIMIZEBOX + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)

$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 0, 0, 800, 600)

_IENavigate ($oIE, @ScriptDir & "\_IE_EXAMPLE_FORM.HTML")

GUISetState()

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "ExampleForm")

$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "submitExample")

;_IEAction($oSubmit, "click")

_IEAction ($oSubmit, "focus")

ControlSend($guiHandle, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}")

ConsoleWrite("This is the message which will not be written to the console until the OK button is clicked")

ConsoleWrite("1")

ConsoleWrite("2")

the html file: _IE_EXAMPLE_FORM.HTML should be put in the same folder of the macro, you can just download the attachment and unzip it to a folder, help me please

Thank-you for the shortened example.

I can reproduce your trouble and unfortunately do not have a workaround for you.

There is something unexpected happening between the embedded control and the GUI stalling the script in the depths of AutoIt when the popup window appears. I say it is in the depths because code execution can actually get past the ControlSend depening on the timing of the appearance of the alert window, so it is not directly tied to your code - code execution stalls when the popup is displayed, not after a predictable line of code in the script.

Hopefully others may have some ideas. Next steps as I see them are to create an even more minimalist example with IE.au3 out of the picture and a very simple HTML page. My guess is that troubleshooting will take running AutoIt in a debugger to see where it is being waited upon.

Since this is something unexpected happening of AutoIt itself, I will try to develop an effective way to do what i need. Actually, I can get the IE object by _IECreate() function just open the page in default web browser, but what worries me is there is to much unexpected would happen to the macro, and I am not willingly to handle this unexpected errors. So, I am gonna split the web browser created by AutoIt GUI to a standing alone macro, and it would be invoked by another macro in a right time. As far as I kown, this is the best way to finish my job, a free macro to my working mates

ps, I am a really newbie of AutoIt, but I am so willingly to become a experenced programmer of AutoIt, Thanks DaleHohm for your helping, thanks very much
