gsprout Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 When I open a browser window, go to an online application, and select "Download a file" - I get a pop-up window asking if I want to save the file. I am trying to write an AutoIT script that checks for that window then closes it. The following autoit code works fine. MouseClick("Left", 221, 345,1,10) MsgBox (4096,"Start","Starting...",3) WinActivate("Opening Full") WinClose("Opening Full") exit That is, it launches the pop-up window, activates it, then closes it. HOWEVER,... This code MouseClick("Left", 221, 345,1,10) $ck = WinActivate("Opening Full",5) If $ck = 1 Then MsgBox (4096,"Check","ck is: " & $ck,5) Else MsgBox (4096,"Check","ck is: " & $ck,5) EndIf $ck = WinExists("Opening Full") If $ck = 1 Then MsgBox (4096,"Check","ck is:" &$ck, 5) Else MsgBox (4096,"Check","ck is:" &$ck, 5) EndIF$ck = WinClose("Opening Full") $ck = WinClose("Opening Full") If $ck = 1 Then MsgBox (4096,"Check","ck is:" &$ck, 5) Else MsgBox (4096,"Check","ck is:" &$ck, 5) EndIF$ck = WinClose("Opening Full") Prints, ck is 0 ck is 0 ck is 0 ... and fails to close the window. Why is that? I was expecting it to print ck is 1! Stumped. It seems to me it should be printing ck is 1. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing?In your first pass, you're using "5" (no quotes) as your second parameter on WinActivate(). The second parameter of the function is for any additional text in the window you're trying to target - I'm assuming you were setting 5 as an assumed timeout value? - MoChr(77)& Chr(97)& Chr(100)& Chr(101)& Chr(32)& Chr(121)& Chr(97)& Chr(32)& Chr(108)& Chr(111)& Chr(111)& Chr(107)-------I've told you 100,000 times not to exaggerate!-------Don't make me hit you with my cigarette hand...-------My scripts:Random Episode Selector, Keyboard MouseMover, CopyPath v2.1, SmartRename for XP,Window Tracer[sup]New![/sup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
