Problem with ControlSend

[AITNewbie]

Hi,

I'm writing a script to install Firefox and then to install the R-Kiosk Addon. So far, it's all good up through the install. I get to the end of the install and the application launches. I then try and open the XPI file for R-Kiosk. I'm trying to use ControlSend but all it does is open the File Open dialogue and sits there with the cursor blinking in the File Name field that I'm trying to pass the file name into.

Here's my script thus far:

Run ("E:\firefox Setup 3.5.8 /s")

WinWaitActive ("Mozilla Firefox Setup")

Send ("!n")

WinWaitActive ("Mozilla Firefox Setup")

Send ("!u")

Send ("!n")

WinWaitActive ("Mozilla Firefox Setup")

Send ("!i")

WinWaitActive("Mozilla Firefox Setup", "Completing the Mozilla")

Send ("!f")

WinWaitActive("Mozilla Firefox Start Page - Mozilla Firefox")

Send ("!fo")

WinActivate("Open File")

ControlSend("Open File", "File Name", "Edit1", "r-kiosk-0.7.2-fx.xpi")

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Try ControlSend("Open File", "", "Edit1", "r-kiosk-0.7.2-fx.xpi") instead of ControlSend("Open File", "File Name", "Edit1", "r-kiosk-0.7.2-fx.xpi")

Thanks for the suggestion Bruce but I had already tried that. I did try it again just to confirm that I hadn't missed something but still get no text to appear in that field. The cursor is flashing in that field but no text.

try it with silent install.

Use Autoit's window identifier app and place the target cross over the textbox and use the ControlID it gives you in your controlsend statement.

After sending ^o or !fo (getting the 'open file' dialog), the cursor is in that field already, so just try it with Send. Of course, this can't be done in the background as with ControlSend..
