ecrain Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Local $oIE = _IECreate("mylink...removed for security") _IELinkClickByText($oIE,"FileName",0,0) ; final parameter states to NOT wait for webpage to open WinWaitActive("Open Document") ; Download box Call("_LoopSend",2,"{DOWN}") ; Custom function loops a key press, in this case DOWN twice. Selects Edit Send("{TAB}",0) ; Move to OK/Cancel buttons Send("{ENTER}",0) ; Hit OK Above is an abridged version of my script. After opening IE and correctly opening the download box in SharePoint (download box says "Read," "Edit," "OK," "Cancel"), it gets stuck. The script does not move on to the third line. I know it's in a loop because I can't use my hotkey (not shown) to stop the script. Why is it getting stuck and how do I unfreeze it? Is it because it opens a download box and not a webpage? Thanks for your help, ecrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Are you sure it's not stuck on the third line? Seeing as how that line is going to wait until it finds the correct window, I would verify where you're getting stuck by putting in some error checking and consolewrites. Right now you can't tell anything about what's going on. 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.

ecrain Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the reply. I've checked by including a message box before the WinWaitActive command... it never appeared. If there is a better way to check, let me know. EDIT: I doubt it helps, but I had this same problem with $oExcel = ObjGet("", "Excel.Application"). I solved it by placing this $oExcel = ObjCreate("Excel.Application") further up in the code. Edited March 26, 2014 by ecrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleHohm Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Check out the second example for _IEAction for a workaround.

ecrain Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks for your posts. I now understand why it is happening (the popup). Dale, I've been working on the workaround. I can't figure out how to make the text "FileName" to be recognized by _IEAttach. See below. Can you assist? ; From the example Local $oIE = _IE_Example("form") Local $oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "submitExample") ; <-- I need $oSubmit to somehow equal the object/something for the text "FileName" or something like that. I've tried ByName, ID, ReadText, OptionSelect, etc., to no avail. Local $hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd") _IEAction($oSubmit, "focus") ; So that it can be "focused" here.
