Why different syntax for ControlClick while using in c# and au3

[commonjunks]

Hi,

I am trying to click Save button once IE popup window to download a file

Here following code working flawless when using in au3 file

WinWaitActive("File Download")

ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save")

But when i use same code in c#, it is not working as it suppose to

AutoItX3Class AUI = new AutoItX3Class();

AUI.WinWaitActive("File Download", "", 0);

AUI.ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save", "left", 1, 0, 0)

Any help?

I assume the x,y of 0,0 is the problem. On Windows XP, you notice that the buttons have rounded corners. Maybe if you move your click in a bit so it actually touches the button, it might work.

Hello 'commonjunks';

Try this:

AUI.ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save", "left", 1, -1, -1)

@zfisherdrums, your trick did work .

@Richard Robertson Thank you.

Did i mention, I LOVE YOU GUYS (Not a girly love, but other love).

Is there any documentation i refer if i get similar situation?

[Richard Robertson]

Pretty much the AutoIt help files. Also, my comment about the rounded corners was a purely visual aspect.

[zfisherdrums]

Well, there is the AutoItX Help File and the MSDN documentation, although I'm not sure where I read that the use of '-1' implies default parameters. Outside of that, you have us here in the forum. Good luck with whatever you're working on!

Ok, it works once and when today i test it again it get fail .

I have no idea why

AutoItX3Class AUI = new AutoItX3Class();

following code is working when Save As screen appear

AUI.WinWaitActive("Save As", "",0);

AUI.ControlClick("Save As", "", "&Save", "left", 1, 0, 0);

but none of the following work for File Download screen

AUI.WinWaitActive("File Download", "",0);

AUI.ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save", "left", 1, 0, 0);

or

AUI.WinWaitActive("File Download", "",0);

AUI.ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save", "left", 1, -1, -1);

as you can see both button seems same

for your information when either line execute AUI.ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save", "left", 1, -1, -1) or AUI.ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save", "left", 1, 0, 0) focus go to save button but it don't click it.

At end i make some thing which is working but not very clean

AUI.WinActivate("File Download", "");

AUI.WinMove("File Download", "", 0, 0, 404, 273);

AUI.MouseMove(257, 158, 1);

AUI.MouseDown("left");

AUI.Sleep(250);

AUI.MouseUp("left");

AUI.Sleep(250);

AUI.WinActivate("Save As", "");

AUI.ControlClick("Save As", "", "&Save", "left", 1, 0, 0);

Hope someone can help

You used 0, 0 again for your control click. Use -1, -1.

You used 0, 0 again for your control click. Use -1, -1.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for reply, i tried both

1-

AUI.ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save", "left", 1, -1, -1)

2-

AUI.ControlClick("File Download", "", "&Save", "left", 1, 0, 0)

None of these two work.

[Richard Robertson]

Try 5, 5 then. That should hit the button.
