Script Pauses when IE Popup Opens

[DaleHohm]

Changes to new versions of IE do seem to require an update to the example. On my system, the popup title is now "Message from webpage" and the instance of the browser control is 2 for some reason instead of 1. The following works for me:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Example("form")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "submitExample")
Local $hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")
_IEAction($oSubmit, "focus")
;ControlSend($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}")
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "", "{Enter}")
; Wait for Alert window, then click on OK
WinWait("Message from webpage", "ExampleFormSubmitted")
ControlClick("Message from webpage", "ExampleFormSubmitted", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:OK; Instance:1;]")
_IELoadWait($oIE)

Dale,

This works for me. thank you. I will explore further.

This does not work for me. The error code returns 1 which indicates that it did work, but nothing happens and I also tried the space instead of enter. It appears IE9 is the issue. Also, my instance is 4. WinWait stops script because the box never appears. I have to use the WinActive and then Send("{ENTER}") and this works but is risky.

Any ideas?

Dale,

Thanks. Your suggestion of looking at the second example worked perfectly for me. I did realize the example needs to be updated for IE9. So I did that as well.

I also know this post is a bit old, but I wanted to let folks know that if you have that issue, Dales suggestion does solve it.

Thanks!

Hi, Dale

To the same question, how to deal with a "File open" dialog, like this:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Example("form")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "fileExample")
_IEAction($oSubmit, "click")
MsgBox(262144,'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber,'Selection:' & @lf & '$oSubmit' & @lf & @lf & 'Return:' & @lf & $oSubmit) ;### Debug MSGBOX

when the file windows is open, the script is paused too.

when i use

_IEAction($oSubmit, "focus")
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}")

it doesn't work too.

If the script isn't paused, i think i can WinActivate(), ControlSetText() and ControlClick() to deal with that window.

so i can't figure out a method, can you help to check?

Thanks.

It's not the same question. See my sig for suggestions for input type=file

Hi Dale,

I wanna echo the same question again.

"my problem is that my code actually stops while the window is open, so anything that is being coded haults."

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "owner.iolWebServiceSubmitAction")
    $oStatus = _IEGetObjById($oForm, "statuselect")
    _IEFormElementOptionSelect($oStatus, "DISABLED", 1, "byText")

 When the above code is executed, an IE popup message appears and the script halts there unless I click on "Ok" or "Cancel" manually. Not able to automate this. I tried the 2 part of _IEAction example but of no luck. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
