ControlSend problem

[Silver]

I have a problem with the function ControlSend, here's the code I'm working, I'm trying to interact with a form to pass a value to a file to upload, the form can be found at this address ultrahosting.altervista.org

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://ultrahosting.altervista.org/", 0,1)

; Hide the browser window to demonstrate sending text to invisible window

_IEAction($oIE, "visible")

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "uppa")

$oInputFile = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "miofile")

; Assign input focus to the field and then send the text string

$hIE = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")

_IEAction($oInputFile, "focus")

ControlSend($hIE, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", $orig)

_IEFormSubmit ($oForm, 0)

Unfortunately, the script does not pass any value to the form, you know tell me why not work? thanks...

Why don't you use_IEFormElementSetValue?

You have a form named "uppa" and want to enter some data into the input field "miofile"?

because TYPE=FILE element will not work with _IEFormElementSetValue

and send dont work anymore because it's read only field

Then I would click on the button next to the file element and enter the file there.

and send dont work anymore because it's read only field

I don't understand

The TYPE=FILE element is read-only. Try to type some data into the field and you'll see what we mean.

You have to click on the button to the right, select a file and then this filepath will be displayed in the TYPE=FILE element.

ahhh ok now I understand, As you suggest we do?

Use _IELinkClickByText or _IELinkClickByIndex or whatever is needed to click on the button right to the field. Then the file selection dialog opens.

There you can select the file you need.
