Child "Save As"

[JohnBailey]

How do you access specific "child Windows" such as that which occurs with Overwrite confirmation?

Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)
Run ("notepad.exe","",@SW_HIDE)
WinWait("Untitled -")
ControlSetText("Untitled -", "", "Edit1", "Saving in the background is cool!" )
ControlSend ( "Untitled - ", "", "Edit1", "{CTRLDOWN}s{CTRLUP}")
WinWait("Save As")
WinSetState("Save As","",@SW_HIDE)
WinWait("Save As")
ControlSend ( "Save As", "", "Edit1", @DesktopDir&"\AUTOIT.txt"&"{ENTER}")
WinWait("Save As")
ControlSend ( "Save As", "", "Edit1", "{ALTDOWN}y{ALTUP}")
Sleep(1000)
;ProcessClose ("notepad.exe")

Valuater,

I can't seem to get altdown s altup to work with ControlSend

$wait = WinWaitActive("File Download","",30)
    If $wait = 1 Then
        $passThrough = 0
        Sleep(500)
        $Win_Title = "File Download"
        $Win_Text = "" 
        $Control_ID = "Edit1"
        $variable = '{altdown}s{altup}'
        ControlSend($Win_Title, $Win_Text, $Control_ID, $variable)
        ;send("{altdown}s{altup}")
        $wait = WinWaitActive("Save As","",25)
        If $wait = 1 Then 
            $Win_Title = "Save As"
            $Win_Text = "" 
            $Control_ID = "Edit1"
            $variable = $accountFileName&'{enter}'
            ControlSend($Win_Title, $Win_Text, $Control_ID, $variable)
            ;send($accountFileName&"{enter}")
        Else
            failed("downloadAccount","Activity File Download for "& $accountFileName,$accountName)
        EndIf

ANSWER:

The first action taking place in my script above is trying to "activate" a button not a text field. As a result, the Control ID must be "Button2" in the above example. It can stay "Edit1" for the second ControlSend because it is "activating" a text field.

It works. I don't know for sure if the reason I explained above is right.
