IE focus issue.

[KeeFy 0]

I've been working on this personal project of mine and have come to a brick wall that i've been unable to find the answer for.

Essentially i'm able to click on the link

<a class="bookingsButton" href="javascript:checkAutomaticBook('/members/bookings/open/event.book.form.action.xsp',
1500039744,
1500039764,
4
)">Book&nbsp;<br />
    08:32 AM</a>
</div>

This is part of the code that i'm having problem with.

$sMyString = "08:32"

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink in $oLinks
    $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
    If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then
        _IEAction($oLink, "click")
        WinActivate("Windows Internet Explorer")
        sleep(1000)
        Send("{ENTER}")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next


MsgBox(0,"Finished","Finished",1)

After the _IEAction($oLink, "click") the program comes to a halt state. After the clicking of the link a dialog popup box appears.

The autoit Window Info summary shows the following code from the popup window.

Do you want to automatically book? 



>>>> Hidden Text <<<<

I'm trying to just click the OK button, but the program halts and the IE window minimises. It frezzes until i personally give focus to the window and click the OK button and it'll complete and show the msgbox that it has completed.

I've tried multiple ways but always end up getting a minimized window and frozen program after _IEAction($oLink, "click").

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Winlist then use that to use winactivate

Winlist then use that to use winactivate

It's not an elegant method but i've used a different script in a different file in order to gain focus and click it.

$Clicked = 0
While $Clicked = 0
    If WinExists("Windows Internet Explorer","Do you want to automatically book?") Then
        WinActivate("Windows Internet Explorer","Do you want to automatically book?")
        Send("{ENTER}")
        $Clicked = 1
        MsgBox(0,"Booked","Success!",2)
    EndIf
    sleep(500)
WEnd

Slotting in a fucntion after the "_IEAction($oLink, "click") " code doesn't work no matter what. It goes into a pause state and i would love to have everything in one script. :/

I've tried all the few other methods that i was trying to use to click the ok button and it works as a different script running in the background.

So essentially i guess my question is how do i get the main script to stop pausing @ _IEAction($oLink, "click") ??

Any insights would be nice! Thanks people!
