Open a dowloaded file automatically in Internet Explorer - (Moved)

[TracyC]

Hello!

I found this piece of code on the forum, and it supposedly worked to bypass that pesky download window in IE.  Basically I want to mimic the "alaways download the file" option that IE took away from us.  Currently, when I download a Word file on IE, I get a popup box where I am forced to click 'Open."  

 var winHandle = AutoItX.WinGetHandle("[Class:IEFrame]");
            var ctrlHandle = AutoItX.ControlGetHandle(winHandle, "[Class:DirectUIHWND]");
            var ctrlPos = AutoItX.ControlGetPos(winHandle, ctrlHandle);
            AutoItX.WinActivate(winHandle);
            AutoItX.ControlClick(winHandle, ctrlHandle, "primary", 1, ctrlPos.Width - 160, ctrlPos.Height - 30);
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
            AutoItX.ControlSend(winHandle, ctrlHandle, "{ENTER}");

 

I am getting an error when I run it that says:

Varwinhadle=AtoITX.wingethandle["[Class:IEFrame]"] ^ ERROR

 

Can anyone help me fix it?

There are multiples issues in the code you provided.  Please refer to AutoItX.chm help file located in AutoItX folder.

As described in help file, you cannot use handles in Win* methods nor in Control* methods.  You can use Text special definition though.

Third parameter of Control* methods has also some limitations.  Be careful to check what they are.
