Open your save as and check it with C:\PROGRA~1\AUTOIT3\AU3INFO.EXE

then

ControlClick

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sends a mouse click command to a given control.

ControlClick ( "title", "text", controlID [, button] [, clicks]] )

Sorry about the stupid question. This is the very first time I am using AutoIT. Was using Perfect Keyboard previously.

How do I Check It?

ControlClick is?

How do I send a mouse click command?

If there is a way I can learn AutoIt please do direct me to it.

This is a generic sample made on a Notepad save as

(It's ITALIAN change CAPTIONS)

while 1

sleep(2500); Added sleep for give the time to watch

   AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
    WinWaitActive( "Salva con nome", "", 5 )
 ControlFocus ( "Salva con nome","" , "Button2" )
 ControlClick ( "Salva con nome", "" , "Button2","left" )
wend

Based off the informaion you provided, you'll use 2 things here: 1.. The title, 2.. The information on >>>> Control Under Mouse <<<<

ControlClick ( "Save Web Page", "&Save", "Button2")

In this case we can use the ClassNameNN instead of the Control ID (More specific in my opinion). Also notice when you are viewing something in help or about a command, anything in brackets "[button], [clicks]" are optional, and don't have to be used.

Edit:

Also, I meant to say this earlier... You should post support questions in the support forum ...

Oops sorry about that. Thought I was supposed to post in the Scripts portion. Should I continue asking there? or can someone move this thread over?

[tradertt]

Sorry just 2 questions for the moment that will be it.

1) if I need it to moniter in the background for any such windows that may pop up in the next 3 hours and do it repeately for the whole of 3 hours for any windows that pop up - Do I use sleep and how do I loop it?

2) What if the window is not the active window? will it be affected? I want ALL Save AS windows to be closed.

NO ... only Notepad and save the script as *.au3 .... open (launch) it with

C:\Programmi\Autoit3\AutoIt3.exe

[SmOke_N]

Wow, you guys are going out in left field I think... You don't have to use the classname= he has the title of the window he needs to work in right from the information he posted from the AutoInfo.exe tool. I gave an 'exact' example of how to use ControlClick() for that specific window, for that specific Control ID I believe.

I have made an quick script and forgot it

[tradertt]

Oh so I can use Notepad only thanks.

Looks like I have to learn about programming language.

do I read up on VBA or C++?

Neither, just read the helpfile. AutoIt is its own language.

[tradertt]

Hehe ... Thanks. I think it works for now. Will start reading the help file and learning more about the language.

By the way, if the file name exists, it will go into an error loop as it will keep asking if I want to overwrite it but it will keep saying NO so it will keep going into a loop. How do I overcome that?
