MáriaBojová — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 18:59:00 GMT

Is there any way how to realiably spy SAVE AS window in Internet Explorer while saving a document? Or any ideas how to SAVE something under specific name? I want to avoid renaming the file. Many thanks Maria

Hi, Click on down arrow from your image, and then send ""Global send keys"" - ""{RIGHT}"", ""{DOWN}"" and ""{ENTER}"". It will click on ""save as"" option. Good Luck.

Hi, Click on Down Arrow button, and Spy small Pop up(Save, Save As & Save and open) in Win32 Mode. Give the attribute values for that element as Visible: True Enabled: True Class Name: #32768 Match Index: 1 Pass this element into Navigate stage and select action as ""Global Mouse Click Center"". This clicks exactly on the center of the popup i.e, ""Save As"" :)

Hi, I'm using BP version 6.3 and I'm having trouble spying the save dialog box itself, the box cannot be spied at all no matter what spying mode I'm using, I can't spy the dialog box, save button or any element within the box. I've used BP 5 previously and was able to interact with this box and save button no problem. Any ideas as to why this might be? Is this a 6.3 quirk? Kind Regards, Paul.

A trick that can sometimes help is to make sure the main IE window is not maximised, then manually position the popup so that it's not fully contained within the main window. Then try and spy it. Don't ask me why, but sometimes the spying doesn't 'see' a child window that's contained within the parent. Fortunately, once you've spied the pop up, it can be found whether it's inside or outside.

The box itself is located…

The box itself is located within the IE window and I can't position it anywhere other than within that window. See screenshot.

OK, didn't realise it was that one. Try attaching to the other iexplore.exe (using Child Index) and you should be able to get at that popup with a mix of Win32 and AA.

I can't attach using child…

Paul.Curran — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 18:12:00 GMT

I can't attach using child index without getting already connected message, even if I detach then reattach using child index I can't interact with that popup no matter what I try.

Launch IE manually and bring it to the point where the popup is showing. Then attach. It should work - I've automated the same popup previously.

Yeah we've previously…

Yeah we've previously developed, tested and moved to production and been able to spy and interact with that dialog box in BP 5 but since the 6.3 upgrade the dev logic the issue has cropped up. What's strange is that we have two dev resources and the logic works fine on one but I'm encountering this problem on the second resource. If I follow the steps above I still can't interact with the dialog box so I'm starting to think this might be an issue with the dev resource itself. I'd like to understand what might be causing this however as my worry is that if we upgrade to 6.3 in our live environment then the issue might persist.

Hmm I see your concern Paul…

John__Carter — Wed, 03 Oct 2018 13:02:00 GMT

Hmm I see your concern Paul. So are you saying that the logic can be developed on machine A but not on machine B? Or that even if the logic is developed on machine A it won't run on B? Or that the logic that ran well in v5 on both machines now won't run in v6 on B? I guess try and find out if there is something different about that machine too, Tabprocgrowth maybe, IE version, OS version?

Yeah, logic developed in 5,…

Paul.Curran — Wed, 03 Oct 2018 13:14:00 GMT

Yeah, logic developed in 5, tested in machines A and B and moved into production and has always worked perfectly. The as-is BP v5 logic still works on machine B (now running v6.3) but doesn't work on machine A (also running v6.3). Additionally I can't re-spy or interact with the dialog box on machine A. I'll take you advice and check for any differences between the dev resources, thanks.

Many thanks for your answers…

Many thanks for your answers. I used the option I wanted to avoid - moving file to another folder. It worked somehow with spying SAVE AS but with full speed BP was not able to identify Save AS options.
