the html code:

<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /><p>3. Click 'upload file'.</p>
<input type="submit" value=" UPLOAD " class="submit" id="submit" /></div>
</form></div></body></html>

my code:

#include <IE.au3>
$path = "example.html"
$oIE = _IECreate (path)
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE,0)
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "file")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, "AutoIt IE.au3")

but it returns:"--> IE.au3 Error from function _IEFormElementSetValue, $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType (Browser securuty prevents SetValue of TYPE=FILE)"

is there any solution?

There is an example in the help file of how to accomplish this (_IEFormElementSetValue).

I use a slightly modified version of that one.

; *******************************************************
; Example 4 - Set the value of an INPUT TYPE=FILE element
;               (security restrictions prevent using _IEFormElementSetValue)
; *******************************************************
;
#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IE_Example("form")
$hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "ExampleForm")
$oInputFile = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "fileExample")

; Assign input focus to the field and then send the text string
_IEAction($oInputFile, "focus")
Sleep(250)
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "Internet Explorer_Server1", "C:\myfile.txt")

Please, answer me guys.

I use the WebBrowser conrol in my VB6 project.

I can set value for any form element by my VB6 code except of the "input type=file" control.

Can the code above help me to solve my problem?

big_daddy, what is the language of your code is?

Thanks.

This method seems to break starting with Internet Explorer 7.

IE will not change focus to the FILE type form field.

My code works fine in Internet Explorer 6.

Does anyone have an alternative to the _IEAction($oInputFile, "focus") part of this?

IE 7 and 8 do allow setting focus on other field types, just not the FILE type.

Did you read the reply directly above what you typed? See my sig.
