ControlSetText doesn't work in wp image uploading dialog!!!

[AlienStar]

hello everybody 

I need to automate uploading image via Autoit to my wordpress blog 

here is my code 

$url = "https://engnajjar.wordpress.com/wp-admin/media-new.php?browser-uploader"
Local $oIE =_IECreate($url)
Local $async_upload = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "async-upload")
Local $upload_btn = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "html-upload")
_IEAction($async_upload, "click")
Sleep(1000)
$hChoose = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32770]")
WinWaitActive($hChoose, "Choose File to Upload", 10)
ControlFocus($hChoose,"","Edit1")
Sleep(1000)
ControlSetText($hChoose, "", "Edit1", "C:\Users\administrator\Pictures\image.jpg")
ControlClick($hChoose, "", "Button1")

when the code open popup upload dialog it can't set image location text in edit box to select image 

the code still wait popup upload dialog although the dialog is active.

when I close the dialog, the code back to work then exit without detect the dialog.

 would you provide me the example please?

because I didn't know where it is. 

[TheXman]

He is referring to example 2 in the help file for the _IEAction function.  Just click the link in the quote that he provided.

[AlienStar]

I've edited the code according to example 2 but also not working 

Local $oIE =_IECreate($url)
Local $async_upload = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "async-upload")
Local $hWnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")
_IEAction($async_upload, "focus")
ControlSend($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}") 
WinWait("Choose File to Upload", "")
Sleep(2000)
ControlSend("Choose File to Upload", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "C:\Users\administrator\Pictures\image.jpg")

 I've replace ControlSend($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}") with _IEAction($async_upload, "click") to open upload dialog 

but entire my problem is I can't set file link in edit box

"Doesn't work" isn't enough details to allow us to help you further.

You don't want to do that because the clicking from _IEAction is the source of your problem. The _IEAction(Focus) / ControlSend combo is designed to trigger the button without the side effect of pausing the script.

How is this different from your other thread? Also, probably not the gonna get much response on an 8 year old thread.

my friend I put all code I made and don't know more info to provide 

when I use 

ControlSend($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}")

it clicks on upload button not browse button because when I use "Autoit windows information tool" to get the class, it showed me that the upload button and browse button have the same class name which is CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server

both buttons have the same class thats why I use _IEAction($async_upload, "click")

after all that help me please

The Enter key is sent to the element with focus. So perhaps your earlier code where you were clicking on $async_upload element was incorrect. <shrug>

Change the prior _IEAction line to focus the correct element and then it should work.

[AlienStar]

$async_upload is the element I have to focus on.

because when I do "inspect element" via browser on "browse button" it shows me this ID "$async_upload".

I found no problem in this step to popup upload dialog .

all what I need is to set the file location in edit box after the dialog popup

So now your issue is clicking the correct button in the upload dialog? Post your code so that we can take a look and give feedback.

here is the same code I put first 

when the code open popup upload dialog it can't set image location text in edit box to select image 

the code still wait popup upload dialog although the dialog is active.

when I close the dialog, the code back to work then exit without detect the dialog.

 

[Danp2]

So then your WinWaitActive is wrong. Are you sure the phrase "Choose File to Upload" appears in body of the dialog?

here is the dialog and its window info

Right... that text is found in the window's title, so instead of this --

$hChoose = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32770]")
WinWaitActive($hChoose, "Choose File to Upload", 10)

have you tried this?

WinWaitActive("Choose File to Upload", "", 10)
