Paste a file path in a form on the Choose file... window

[rafaeltech]

Hello,

I'm new to Autoit and I need some advices. I'm trying to simulate an user choosing a file and clicking at the "Open" button on a "Choose file" window on Windows XP.

I made this code, but I don't know how to include a file path into the text box and click Open.

WinWait("Choose file");

WinActivate("Choose file");

Could you help me plz? By the way, is the default "Choose file" window to upload to a website. I will call this script from java code to test an application.

Cya! Thx!

One way to do it: Use these two functions, FileOpenDialog & GUICtrlSetData, which are explained in the help file. The AutoIt Window Info tool will probably be of some help too.

Close, GUICtrlSetData() is only for native AutoIt GUIs. Use ControlSend() or ControlSetText() to apply the string to an outside GUI.

Ok, thanks PsaltyDS I will try that!

It works! But now I have another problem. Autoit is not clicking on the Open button! Thats my code:

WinWait("Choose file");

WinActivate("Choose file");

ControlSetText("Choose file","",1148,"C:\nnn\nnn");

ControlClick("Choose file","&Open",1,"primary",1);

If I change to "right", Autoit shows the Menu, what's normal. But when I change to "left" or "primary" nothing happens! It doesn't make the upload!

I've tried HotKeySet("{ENTER}") too!

Anything wrong with my code?

Thanks for the help!

UPDATED: I used the function Send() and it works! Thx for the help!! This post is closed!
