Firefox - File Popup handling using AutoIT


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I need to handle the firefox file popup using AUTO IT. I need your valuable advice to solve this issue. Below is the script code

; set the select mode to select using substring

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode","2")

ControlCommand ( "Opening", "Save", "&Save", "Check" )

; wait until dialog box appears

WinWait($CmdLine[1]) ; match the window with substring

$title = WinGetTitle($CmdLine[1]) ; retrives whole window title

WinActive($title);

; if user choose to save file

If (StringCompare($CmdLine[2],"Save",0) = 0) Then

WinActivate($title)

WinWaitActive($title)

Sleep(10)

; If firefox is set to save the file on some specif location without asking to user.

; It will be save after this point.

Send("{DOWN}")

Send("{ENTER}")

;If Dialog appear prompting for Path to save

WinWait("Enter name")

$title = WinGetTitle("Enter name")

If WinExists($title) Then

;Set path and save file

WinActivate($title)

WinWaitActive($title)

ControlSetText($title, "", "Edit1", $CmdLine[3])

ControlClick($title, "", "Button2")

EndIf

WinWait("Downloads")

If WinExists("Downloads") Then

$title = WinGetTitle("Downloads")

WinActivate($title)

WinWaitActive($title)

Send("{ESCAPE}")

EndIf

Else

;Firefox is configured to save file at specific location

Exit

EndIf

; do not save the file

If (StringCompare("Cancel","Cancel",0) = 0) Then

WinWaitActive($title)

Send("{ESCAPE}")

EndIf

This script finds the window by checking the title "Opening" and then it presses the "DOWN" and "ENTER" key so that it will select the Save option. The problem is, sometimes "Save" radio button is selected by default... when i run the script, it is going to the "Open" radio button.

Is there someway to find the selected radio button before pressing the "Down" key?

Note: i have attached the screen shot also in this thread.

Thanks in advance
