aantix Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I've automated a web page to fill out several form fields and click the submit button. When I do this, the "File Download" dialog appears prompting me to hit the save button and then enter the filename to save the download as. Is there a way via AutoIt that I can tell the system beforehand to hide the "File Download" and "Save As" dialogs? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSThePatriot Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I dont know about before hand, but you can certainly hide the windows as soon as they come up. So it would be a small flash on the screen. There also may be a windows setting to just automatically save the files without prompt.

this-is-me Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I would suggest urldownloadtofile to download the files instead of using IE for them at all. Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some Win* functions...of course. Edited November 4, 2004 by josbe AUTOIT > AutoIt docs / Beta folder - AutoIt latest beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt @ MPCS Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 If the process you are automating requires Internet explorer for some reason (possibly not always downloading the same file) then you could write a real simple download manager (which wraps the URLDownloadFile or InetGet functions). I think there is a way to change the default download manager for internet explorer, you could then temporarily set it as such. *** Matt @ MPCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
