Recommended Posts

Hi all,

my script works fine, it does some clicks within IE and finally follows a link to a file-download.

But how how to click within the IE-"download"-window on "save" (the default is "Cancel") and how

to give a file-name and directory in the common-dialog?

Im sure that anyody has as little example how to do this?

Any help welcome!

See here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92907&view=findpost&p=746271 and the second example for _IEAction for ideas.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Dale,

just to make clear:

IE opens a "download" popup when following the link, autoIt processing stops until this window is closed.

So how can I get control to this popup window?

And how get conrol to the buttons (which aren't any form elements)

You aparently did not look at the references I gave you.

Dale,

I did look at the references, and a I wrote: I didn't get access to the window.

What solved the problem was a sleep(1200) here:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ; to allow text "ow" for "download"

WinWait("ow")

winactivate("ow") ; to see what happens

sleep(1200)

$hChoose = WinGetHandle("ow")

Without that, button is activated (focus), but not pressed.
