right-click with pop-up stucks my autoit script

[hagaizenberg]

Hi all,

I've encountered a strange problem that when i right-click an item on IE and the small menu pops up, my entire script is stuck until i close the pop-up menu.

It's a bit hard to explain so it's best to give u a script that demonstrates this.

This get stuck on line 18 = MouseClick("right",259,206)

When I release the pop-up menu, the scripts continues.

Just run this, and see how it get stuck (check the console for the messages).

Any one has an idea why this happens????

This doesn't happen when I use IE not embedded...

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
$screensizeX=800
$screensizeY=500

_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
GUICreate("test", $screensizeX, $screensizeY, _
        1,1, _
        $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS + $WS_CLIPCHILDREN)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 10, $screensizeX-25, $screensizeY-25)
GUISetState()       ;Show GUI
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://rendezvous-info.com/galleries/bardo-drums-hagai-itai-60.jpg")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)

ConsoleWrite("before right click"&@CRLF)
MouseClick("right",259,206)
ConsoleWrite("after right click"&@CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("before left click"&@CRLF)
MouseClick("left",361,326)
ConsoleWrite("after left click"&@CRLF)

; Waiting for user to close the window
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

Yeah, the problem with embedded IE control is that any blocking dialog box like the alert() is making your script to be blocked. It's like your script is indirectly calling MsgBox() which is also a blocking routine. I don't know a workaround from the same script (even using timers). You can however execute another script before you preform the blocking action to wait for the dialog and close it so your first script can continue to execute.

10x for the reply.

that's really upsetting...! my script is complicated enough without having to run another script to release the jammed script :-)

isn't that considered a bug in autoit?

anyway, i thought about trying this instead of the autoit mouseclick:

DllCall($user32, "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $handle, "int", $ButtonUp, "int", $Button, "long", _MakeLong($X, $Y))

u think it'll work?

i saw that the script it stuck on the mouse-up so i'll try to do it externally.

i'll give it a try and update you.

Sounds like a DaleHohm question. All I can suggest is using #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y "it's magic"
