Send a "save file as" by the gold bar IE  Topic is solved

13 Feb 2018, 02:34

Hello, i have this problem:
I have to make a script that, by the COM object, navigate with Internet Explorer to a site, fills out some form, and downloads a file.
I am arrived to click the "download" button, but i can't go forward. When i click the button appears the gold bar on the bottom of the page and i don't know how to send by a "Save file as" command by that point.
To make a more stable code, i would like to fire the "save as" event by the COM, but if it is impossible every other solution is good aswell. I considered even the UrlDownloadToFile command, but i don't know how to retrieve the url of the download page by the gold bar.

Any help will be immensely appreciated

I am pretty sure there is no way to download file though IE COM, because of many security reasons...
UrlDownloadToFile is good way if webpage is not asking for some authentication ...

If i manage to click around the windows it would be good aswell.
Unfortunately i am not able to catch the correct controls to click
