Realm Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hello omegadave, First, Welcome to the AutoIt Forums dave, it's really difficult to help you if you don't show what code you have written. There could be a multitude of problems that is causing your script to not do what you expect. A general rule of thumb when asking for help in the forums, is to explain what errors or problems you are having, what results you expect from your script, and ultimately show your script, or at the least an example of it. I don't believe in crystal balls, or I'd guess your problem is on line 1,362,412.

Realm Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) omegadave, Try ControlCommand('Title','','ClassnameNN','SelectString', 'string') Just Change 'Title' to the Window Title, 'ClassnameNN' to the control ID, and 'string' to the item you wish to select. Realm Edit: Sorry I just realized your trying to automate a File Dialog. If your going to select everything in the chosen folder you might be better off using FileList() to get all the files into an array, then converting into a single string to input to the edit for files. I have not personally attempted to drop multiple files into the edit but in most cases it can be done. I do believe you will have to seperate each file with a string break '|', before dropping into the the edit control.

Rofellos Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I recomend that you use WinWaitActive() after WinActivate() to avoid problems. I use it everytime because I had many problems with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realm Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) @Rofellos,Here is a little function I like to use:_WinWaitActivate($title,$text="",$timeout=0) ; checks if window is active, if not will activate it. $window_Handle = _WinWaitActivate($title,$text="",$timeout=0) ;This will also return the window handle for later calls or uses. Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text="",$timeout=0) WinWait($title,$text,$timeout) If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text) WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout) Return WinGetHandle($title,$text) EndFunc Just my two cents Realm Edit: Fixed some cut n paste typos Edited November 26, 2010 by Realm My Contributions: Unix Timestamp: Calculate Unix time, or seconds since Epoch, accounting for your local timezone and daylight savings time.
