Marcelão 0 Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) AU3 Friends, I have an AutoIt script that is typing values into a hidden document (a xls file). ... Run("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe", "", @SW_HIDE) WinWait("Microsoft Excel") ... The script runs until a "save as" is requested: ... ControlSend("Microsoft Excel", "", "MsoCommandBar4", "^s") ; ---> "Save as" request WinWait("Save As") ... The first "WinWait" works and the second doesn't. If the parameter @SW_HIDE is changed to @SW_MAXIMIZE, the script runs sucessfully until the end. I think the problem is about working with a hidden window calling a pattern system window. Have you already seen any situation (and a solution) for this? (If it exists) Thanx Edited July 14, 2006 by Marcelão Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcelão 0 Posted July 14, 2006 If you're going to use Excel, why not use the Excel UDF?Hello Manadar,This example I'm programming is just a simulation to how to deal with hidden windows. In fact I have a big AutoIt code working with a lot of maximized windows from Siebel Tools and Siebel Client.If I found the solution for this "save as" window from Excel I'll find the solution for all the "sabe as" and "open" window from Siebel - they are pattern from window.Thanx for your reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jvanegmond 306 Posted July 16, 2006 Sorry mate, i only saw the "Posts: 3" and i figured you had little scripting experience. Can't really help you, so good luck with that. github.com/jvanegmond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
