I am using the latest AutoIt version and Firefox 3.6. The application that I am working on has a dialog to trigger the Firefox download dialog to allow user choose the way to handle files. I tried to use the Finder Tool to locate the controls on this Firefox dialog then select the 'Save File' radio button and save the file from my application. However, the Finder Tool failed to detect the controls on this FireFox dialog. The title is ok, but not the rest.

I have the screenshot attached. Please help.

Thank you very much for your time.

Firstly Welcome to the Forum. There is no Screenshot attached and the reason why you can't interact with Firefox is because it doesn't use the Windows API for GUI creation (I believe) so have a look at FF.au3 (you can find in the Examples Forum)

Thank you guinness for your reply. I attach this screenshot now (I forget pressing the 'Attach This File' button yesterday, sorry...)

I talked to the developer about your comment - doesn't use the Windows API. He said that this Firefox dialog is control by the Firefox browser. When this browser detects a program that be able to open the download file, it will open this dialog. It should be developed by the Windows API.

I'll take a look at the FF.au3 file and see if it can give me some clue.

Thank you very much again for your suggestions.

Hello Amberz,

I am also facing exactly the same issue, AutoIT Info tool doesn't recognize controls on firefox download Pop-up window.

I need to select either 'Save File' or 'Open with' radio button, based upon the information which one is already selected. 

I am using 'ControlCommand' to to get the status of Radio button, but I don't have controlID for them.

Pls. let me know if you are able to resolve this issue & how.

Thanks.
