[april]

Hi all,

After I open a notepad, input some text to notepad, then I want to au3 script to click "Save As". I have tried to use AutoIt v3 Window Info to grab information for "Save as", but I could not find any info.

Anyone knows how to do it in au3?

Thanks!

Post what you tried. AU3Info.exe has no trouble with the "Save As" dialog window from Notepad.

My code:

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

Send("This is some text.")

WinMenuSelectItem("Untitled - Notepad", "", "&File", "Save As..." )

My code:

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

Send("This is some text.")

WinMenuSelectItem("Untitled - Notepad", "", "&File", "Save As..." )

What happens next?

That pops the SaveAs dialog, and then you check it out with AU3Info.exe to know what to change, right?

My problem is "Save as" dialog Never popup. So I Can't continue to do other things.

Thanks!

can this help?

WinWaitActive("Untitled")
Send("^s")
WinWaitActive("Save As")

edit: or this

WinMenuSelectItem("Untitled - Notepad", "", "&File", "Save &As..." )

from autoit help file

Thus, the menu item File would actually require the text "&File", and Convert would require "Con&vert"

Oops, I missed that. You need:

"&File", "Save &As..."

Note the 'A' is an accelerator key in 'Save As'.

Thank you for the help. It works.

However, I have one more question. If I directly look at the menu,there is _ under A for "Save As...". Also there is no _ under "File". How could I know there is accelerator key?

Thanks!
