Script paused at Save As window

[myu8171]

After clicking Save button, a Save As window shows up and script is paused; no error, the remaining script simply didn't run.

After closing the Save As window, console output indicates the script didn't find the Save As window object.

If I copy & paste the script snippet that is for the Save As window, and run the snippet in a separate editor window, then that snippet works.

The same issue if I compile the scripts into EXE. Currently, the workaround is to run two scripts one by one.

What editor are you using ?, the one that comes with AutoIt or the full SciTE ?

..now am lost. I'll need more context otherwise I don't know what to guess.

That is the "better than nothing" that come with it but you should -as it is better supported-, use the one from https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit-script-editor/downloads/

Maybe after using the full fledged editor, it will all be better

Thanks. I will see if this editor can help with debugging.

Console print paused after printing $pCondition_SaveAs OK. 

Save As window shows up. Code after the ConsoleWrite doesn't execute, no error either.

If I close the Save As window, or if I close OK, then $oWindow_SaveAs Err printed out.

It seems some sort of process/thread related issue. 

Tried adding delay after mouse click, didn't work. 

The same code, if copy & paste to a new au3 file and run, then it runs as expected.

 

Local $pButton_Save, $oButton_Save
    $oToolBar1.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition9, $pButton_Save)
    $oButton_Save = ObjCreateInterface( $pButton_Save, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtag_IUIAutomationElement )
    If Not IsObj( $oButton_Save ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oButton_Save ERR" & @CRLF )
    ConsoleWrite( "$oButton_Save OK" & @CRLF )
    
    ClickElement($oButton_Save)
     
    ConsoleWrite( "--- Find the Save As dialog ---" & @CRLF )
     Local $pCondition_SaveAs
     $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition($UIA_NamePropertyId, "Save As", $pCondition_SaveAs)
     If Not $pCondition_SaveAs Then Return ConsoleWrite("$pCondition_SaveAs ERR" & @CRLF)
     ConsoleWrite("$pCondition_SaveAs OK" & @CRLF)
     
     $saveAsHandle = WinGetHandle($saveAsTitle)

     Local $pWindow_SaveAs, $oWindow_SaveAs
     ;$oUIAutomation.ElementFromHandle($saveAsHandle, $pWindow_SaveAs)
     $oDesktop.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition_SaveAs, $pWindow_SaveAs )
     $oWindow_SaveAs = ObjCreateInterface($pWindow_SaveAs, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtag_IUIAutomationElement)
     If Not IsObj($oWindow_SaveAs) Then Return ConsoleWrite("$oWindow_SaveAs ERR" & @CRLF)
     ConsoleWrite("$oWindow_SaveAs OK" & @CRLF)

That, as is, did not run at all.

The code targets a very specific program.

The issue is now very clear: the Save As window causes AutoIT to lose focus.
