Controlling IE11 "Do you want to Open/Save" dialogue window buttons in VBA
It's solved finally...
Option Explicit
Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" _
(ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, _
ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long
Public Sub AddReference()
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddFromFile "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\UIAutomationCore.dll"
End Sub
'after my original code as posted in question then this below lines
Dim o As IUIAutomation
Dim e As IUIAutomationElement
Set o = New CUIAutomation
Dim h As Long
h = ieApp.hWnd
h = FindWindowEx(h, 0, "Frame Notification Bar", vbNullString)
If h = 0 Then Exit Sub
Set e = o.ElementFromHandle(ByVal h)
Dim iCnd As IUIAutomationCondition
Set iCnd = o.CreatePropertyCondition(UIA_NamePropertyId, "Save")
Dim Button As IUIAutomationElement
Set Button = e.FindFirst(TreeScope_Subtree, iCnd)
Dim InvokePattern As IUIAutomationInvokePattern
Set InvokePattern = Button.GetCurrentPattern(UIA_InvokePatternId)
InvokePattern.Invoke
Another way to do this is to send the keystrokes of the shortcut keys to click the save button in IE11. I should note your IE window will need to be the active window for this to work. Thus, it won't work while in debug mode.
The code below calls the shortcut key. I'm just showing the shortcut key so you have a better idea what's happening.
- Shortcut key:Alt+S
- VBA:
Application.SendKeys "%{S}"
as ieApp.hWnd in a 64bit environment is LongLong, where h is Long this yields a Type Mismatch which can easily been solved by
h = Clng(ieApp.hWnd)
