Warning Dialog - Adobe Reader

[rancar2]

I am fairly new to using AutoIt. I have attempted multiple methods for handling the warning dialog before a file is saved in Adobe Reader.

The following is what is obtained from Window Info:

__________________________________________

>>>> Window <<<<

Title: Adobe Reader

This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard or Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. You will only be saving a copy of the original document. Do you want to continue?

&Do not show this message again

OK

Cancel

__________________________________________

Before I can do anything, I need to be able to detect it before I can proceed.

Method 1:

CODE

WinExists "[Class:#32770]",""

or

CODE

WinActive "[Class:#32770]",""

Method 3:

CODE

WinExists "","Do you want to continue?"

or

CODE

WinActive "","Do you want to continue?"

Nothing I do seems to work. The save dialog box which comes after has the same class information and I am able to handle that. But I would like to be able to automatically handle this dialog box first. Any ideas?

My question is: are you using AutoIt v2 or v3? From your code it looks like v2 and it has it's own forum. If you are using v3, then try using ControlSend().

My question is: are you using AutoIt v2 or v3? From your code it looks like v2 and it has it's own forum. If you are using v3, then try using ControlSend().

I'm actually using Watir (written as Ruby) which uses the COM interface. When I posted the question, I changed the code to look more like what I thought it would if you just used AutoIt by itself. I guess I was wrong, but the syntax I was using for Watir did work.

To solve the issue, I was trying to use the help file included in AutoItX v3. However, it was not as good as your advice. To handle the situation, I was able to implement what you had suggested in Watir. The following is a working snippet of the code:

CODE

require 'win32ole'

$autoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")

$autoit.WinWaitActive("[Class:AdobeAcrobat]","")

$autoit.Send("{SHIFTDOWN}{CTRLDOWN}s{CTRLUP}{SHIFTUP}")

windowHandle=0

while windowHandle==0

warning_adobe=$autoit.ControlSend("[Class:#32770]","Do you want to continue?","[Class:Button;Text:OK]","{ENTER}")

if warning_adobe==1

windowHandle=1

end

end
