Zywl 0 Posted June 1, 2010 I tried to hide the download window that Internet Explorer shows when you click on a download link, something like this:#include <IE.au3> _IELoadWait($oIE) _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE, 0) ; Get links. _IELinkClickByIndex($oIE, 2) ; Click on the second link. ;. ;. A piece of code that sets the path and clicks on "Download" goes here. ;. WinWait("[CLASS:#32770]");<---- This is the Download Window WinSetState("[CLASS:#32770]", "", @SW_HIDE)The problem is, the download window does not hide fast enough to be totally invisible to the user, it just pops up for like 2 seconds before hiding.Is there a way to hide it faster or make it invisible from the beggining or something like that?

jfcby 3 Posted June 1, 2010 You could set window to transparent.

Zywl 0 Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) You could set window to transparent. WinSetTrans("[CLASS:#32770]", "", 0) ;Invisible jfcby I have tried that line "WinSetTrans("[CLASS:#32770]", "", 0) after the code i have, it's now something like this: WinWait("[CLASS:#32770]") WinSetTrans("[CLASS:#32770]", "", 0) ;Invisible But the problem persists, the download window pops up and becomes invisible when the window is fully loaded after 1,2 or 3 seconds; i suspect that AutoIt is unable to hide that window properly.

Juvigy 49 Posted June 2, 2010 How did you create the window ? _IECreate? It has a visibility switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zywl 0 Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Yes, i'm using _IECreate, at the beggining of the script i create a new IE window to start browsing. $site="www.something.com" ;Website to navigate . . $oIE = _IECreate($site,0,0) ;Run IE Hidden. . . ;A bunch of code here navigates the website. . . _IELoadWait($oIE) ;Here i wait the page to be fully loaded, Example: http://www.something.com/pages/pageN.aspx _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE, 0) ;Get the links of the site. _IELinkClickByIndex($oIE, 2) ;Click the second link of the collection. ; After _IELinkClickByIndex simulates a click on the link, the download windows i want to hide appears, but they are not initially hidden. ; Then i use WinSetTrans("Window Title", "", 0) or WinSetState("Window Title", "", @SW_HIDE) WinWait("File Download") WinSetState("File Download", "", @SW_HIDE) ControlSend("File Download","","","s") WinWait("Save As") WinSetState("Save As", "", @SW_HIDE) ControlClick("Save As","","Button2"); Click "Save" WinWait("[CLASS:#32770]") WinSetTrans("[CLASS:#32770]", "", 0) ;This window does not hide fast enough, here is my problem =( Edited June 2, 2010 by Zywl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnselRoe 0 Posted July 24, 2010 I am having exactly the same issue. The only solution that I see is to move the 'File Download' and 'Save As' dialog windows off the screen boundaries. This should keep it from appearing on the visible window area. But I am not sure what command(s) would effect this. Windows is setting the screen position of the 'File Download' and 'Save As' dialog windows. This may entail a reg patch to change the default window position and a re-Patch to return to defaults. Any help in this matter will be appreciated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
