WinWaitActive IE's download window

[ToyBoi]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to have Autoit to wait for the download window to pop up and then click save

but the problem is when i use WinWaitActive("[TITLE:File Download]") or WinWaitActive("File Download") it does not recognize the pop up download window. Also when I used alt tab to check for the window name, the pop up isn't showing as it's own window.

Does anyone have any ideas?

try

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)  
WinWaitActive("Download")
send("!s")

try

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)  
WinWaitActive("Download")
send("!s")

thanks but it didn't work, i think it either doesn't recognize it or it just sit s there and does not send anything

i tried something like sleep(5000)

send("s") and it didn't work

i also tried

WinWaitActive("Download")

msgbox(1,"1","1")

and also I didn't get any message box

Maybe the window is losing focus.

Try using

WinActivate("Download")

WinWaitActive("Download")

msgbox(1,"1","1")

If you see the message box, then you should be able to hit save. Otherwise my advice doesn't work.

Also you might want to try using the Window Info tool that comes with AutoIt to make sure AutoIt can identify the text in the window.

The code I posted worked fine for me but anyhow I dont think the code posted above will work because it will try to activate a window before it exist then waits for it to exist.

So you can do something like

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)  
while 1
if winexists("Download") Then
WinActivate("Download")
sleep(1000)
send("!s")
endif
wend

Ah yes, that's what I meant to say =), I was jumping ahead.

Always use Au3Info.exe to get the correct info about a window. and

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) is quick and can match very easily.
