Check for Download dialog in IE 11?

[cyanidemonkey]

Hi guys,

I am writing an automated website test script and have a page with some download links to test.

The site is in ASP.NET MVC, the download link is like this: https://websiteurl.com/services/download?linkAddress=download%2Finteractive-sdk.zip

I can click the link via the DOM and IE11 brings up the download message at the botton of the window.

When I used Au3Info.exe and mouse over the download dialog I see:

>>>> Control <<<<
Class:    DirectUIHWND
Instance:    1
ClassnameNN:    DirectUIHWND1
Name:    
Advanced (Class):    [CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:1]
ID:    
Text:  

etc...

I tried using:

WinGetClassList()

But it showed the class name "DirectUIHWND1" before and after download dialog appeared in browser.

so I thought maybe it was just hidden, so I tried:

ControlCommand( "[CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:1]", "", "", "IsVisible", "")

but is returned 0 both before and after download dialog appeared in browser.

 

So I guess I am going about it the wrong way. Does anyone have an idea, or exampe of checking for the IE11 download dialog or perhaps another method of verifying the file is availble for download?

If you look through the IUIAutomation thread in the Examples forum, I know there is a post in there specifically about clicking the download button in IE (the post # escapes me at the moment).

This dialog is [CLASS:Frame Notification Bar; INSTANCE:1]

Thanks for your help guys.

Got there in the end with:

Local $hWindow
$hWindow = WinGetHandle( "[CLASS:IEFrame]" ) ; Internet Explorer
ControlCommand ( $hWindow, "", "[CLASS:Frame Notification Bar; INSTANCE:1]", "IsVisible", "" )

It at least returns 0 before the download button is clicked and 1 after button clicked, so is enough to verify the dialog showed up at least.
