glowfire Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hi Guys, I am prette new to AutoIt and it was my last hope that I can solve my issue. What I need to do: 1. Navigate to a web-site 2. Fill in a simple form (which places a cookie on my system) 3. pars through a list of links and download a specific file with a dynamic URL (download requires this cookie - otherwise I only get the login page) My issue is that the script has to run on a disconnected terminal server session and therefore has no ability to interact with the desktop. I got a script which is doing everything I want but it fails when it runs on that disconnected sesseion. Do you guys have an idea what I can do to get the script running? Thank Glowfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdelaney Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) How do you initiate? You can create a task, and your script will run on session 0(no desktop)...no issues there, but some things will never occur (such as a window being active) Check out the wiki page.http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_my_script_work_on_a_locked_workstation.3FI'd suggest writing the results of all actions to a log file, so you see what step fails, so you can work on a fix. To help move the script along, don't use any interminable function calls...always do finite loop, or add a max wait (generally an optional variable).

BrewManNH Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Also, look at the _IE* functions to do what you're trying to do, this way there's no need for any controlclick or controlsend commands. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

glowfire Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks for your help so far! The _IE* functions doesn't provide any function to handle a file open windows dialog and therefore it doesn't work It seems tat the controlsend() and controlclick() functions will help here. However I don't get them to work as I would expect it. The Button I would like to click has following data: expandcollapse popup>>>> Window <<<< Title: Windows Internet Explorer Class: #32770 Position: 521, 269 Size: 391, 274 Style: 0x96C80284 ExStyle: 0x00010101 Handle: 0x00520982 >>>> Control <<<< Class: Button Instance: 3 ClassnameNN: Button3 Name: Advanced (Class): [CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:3] ID: Text: Save &as Position: 10, 170 Size: 365, 29 ControlClick Coords: 60, 14 Style: 0x5000200E ExStyle: 0x00000000 Handle: 0x0004062E >>>> Mouse <<<< Position: 594, 475 Cursor ID: 0 Color: 0x000000 >>>> StatusBar <<<< >>>> ToolsBar <<<< >>>> Visible Text <<<< &Open &Save Save &as Cancel >>>> Hidden Text <<<< And i try it with this line of code: ControlClick("Windows Internet Eplorer", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Save &as; INSTANCE:3]") But it doesnt work - I guess I have missed something.

Danp2 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Have you tried retrieving the link's href and then downloading the file with InetGet()? Latest Webdriver UDF Release Webdriver Wiki FAQs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdelaney Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Those window popups are modal, and will deadlock your script (it will not start until manual intervention to close the popup). There are ways around it, but InetGet is probably the easier route. The other option is starting a second script to click the link, so it's deadlocked instead. Another way involves focusing on the link, and sending {enter}, rather than _ie click action.
