Opening a file using AutoIt - autoit

I am using an AutoIt script to automate my application. Following is the command which I am running:
FileOpenDialog ("File Upload", "C:\Documents and Settings\abhishek.kumar\Desktop\Quadrillion work", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)", "","WESTF12433.jpg","" )
Send("{ENTER}")
The first command works as it opens up the file open dialog with WESTF12433.jpg file as selected. Now I want to click on open button. How can I do it?
Send("{ENTER}") is not working.

Send is not a good method as it requires the window to be focused, which you can't guarantee. From what you have posted, I would say the best method would be this:
ControlClick("File Upload", "", "Button1")
Edit in response to comments:
Your problem: The fileOpenDialog is blocking execution. You need to think of it as though AutoIt Reads a line, Runs it, then reads the next.
In this case: AutoIt Reads line 1. It creates a FileOpenDialog and WAITS for you to close it. Once it as been closed it reads the next line, and runs that.
Try the following: Create two au3 files, and put the first line in 1.au3 and the second in 2.au3. Run them in that order and see what happens. Send will struggle as the dialog doesn't have focus, but the ControlClick versions should work.

You're not using FileOpenDialog() properly. Its purpose is to interact with the user. If you don't need that, there's no need for it in the first place.
All it does is return the name(s) of the selected files, which you defined already. Can't you just assign the file path to the variable from the start? As per Documentation - Function Reference - FileOpenDialog() :
Success: Returns the full path of the file(s) chosen. Results for
multiple selections are "Directory|file1|file2|..."

This will never work, because AutoIt is not multi-threaded.
Once you open the dialog, it pauses script execution until the user clicks ok, so a Send() function on the next line won't do anything until after.
What you can do is make another script, compile it, and run it just before you open the dialog.
Run("clickOpen.exe")
FileOpenDialog ("File Upload", "C:\Documents and Settings\abhishek.kumar\Desktop\Quadrillion work", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)", "","WESTF12433.jpg","" )
This is what would get executed:
WinWaitActive("File Upload")
Send("{ENTER}")
Simple as that! Hope it helps.

QFileDialog keeps reopening

I wrote a Qt plugin for QGIS, and inside it I have a QPushButton browse_btn to browse for an output folder.
I use the QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory function and it all works fine. However if I close the plugin and open it again, then click the pushbutton to add a path, the opened window for choosing the path will re-open after I choose a path or close it. If I close the plugin a open it again the 'choose path' window will reopen 3 time and so on...
The similar problem is still open here and in comments here and probably solved here, but since there is no code provided I cannot apply it to solve my problem.
The exact code is following:
self.dlg.browse_btn.clicked.connect(self.set_output)
def set_output(self):
folder_path = str(QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(self.dlg, u"Pick a folder"))
if not folder_path:
return None
I think this happens because each time I open-close the plugin the separate connection is created with self.dlg.browse_btn.clicked.connect(self.set_output), and it only disconnects after I relaunch QGIS
Try this - Add a boolean flag isConnected to your class (or dlg) and init this flag to false.
Then change your connection line to this
if (!self.isConnected):
self.dlg.browse_btn.clicked.connect(self.set_output)
self.isConnected = true

Commands not executing on keybind, but are executing from command pallet

Got an issue with keymapping commands:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5nrEO_t7Wo
As you can see in the video, when I call the commands by keyboard shortcut:
On the first attempt - the function isn't called.
On the second attempt - the function is called.
Where as, when I call the commands via the command pallet, the commands are called even on the first attempt. Not shown in the video, I can call the commands from the command pallet more than once without fail.
This leeds me to believe there is something wrong with my keymap.coffee:
'.editor:not(.mini)':
'shift-cmd-h': 'hex:view'
'alt-down':'editor:add-selection-below'
'alt-up':'editor:add-selection-above'
'.editor':
'cmd-k':'jxa:compile'
'shift-cmd-k':'jxa:compileApp'
'cmd-u':'jxa:execute'
However I can see nothing clearly wrong here... So perhaps there's something wrong with my init.js?
https://github.com/sancarn/JXA-Compile/blob/master/src/init.js
Any ideas?
This was solved by DamnedScholar here.
Okay, no. It's because cmd-k is bound to so many things. Go into Settings -> Keybindings and search for it and you'll see a lot of different things attached to it that are all bindings with multiple key presses. So when you press cmd-k, Atom waits to see what your next key press will be. You should consider using something different for jxa:compile.

How do I bypass IsDebuggerPresent this execute?

I'm trying to find ZipCryto Password from this execute, but when I open it in ollydbg and it always return to close programs because IsDebuggerPresent module.
I find the solution on the internet and try to
- Use ollydbg plugins (Hide debugger and IsDebugPresent)
- Try to NOP in IsDebuggerPresent module
- Try to force return 0 in IsDebuggerPresent module
There are not working.
I use signsrch to find where is handled the ZipCrypto password and it say
0041c57c 3052 function where is handled the ZipCrypto password [32.le.12&]
and where is IsDebuggerPresent
00435cd8 2545 anti-debug: IsDebuggerPresent [..17]
Can I bypass IsDebuggerPresent and find ZipCryto password in this execute?

Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks you.
suppose your exe file name is a1.exe
do this:
press Alt+E to go Executable modules window.
Select a1.exe
press Ctrl+N
find IsDebuggerPresent in importes and select it.
right click and click Follow import in Disassembler
press F2 on this opcode.
Run Program and wait for break point.
press some F8 till returning to your code.
search for some thing like je or jnz opcodes and change them.
You should open the file in a dissembler, find where it makes the call to IsDebuggerPresent and then ultimately closes the application (or shows an error or what ever), this piece of code you can NOP in order to disable the check.
You can read the ASM code with dissemblers like IDA, although they don't support editing, you can byte-edit the code (just fill the region you want to patch with NOPS) using CFF Explorer.
/GS- on the cl command line will remove this dependency.

Download file from firefox using autoit

I try to download file using Autoit from Firefox 28.0.
I try to download a exe file,popup flashed but autoit window info tool cannot recognize the save button.
how can i automate this.
My scripts looks like
Local $hWnd=WinActivate("[CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]")
WinWaitActive($hWnd)
;MsgBox(1,$hWnd,$hWnd)
;ControlClick($hWnd,"","Save")
ControlClick($hWnd,"&Save File","")
;WinClose("[CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]")
how can i automate this......
Right now both of your ControlClick attempts are incorrect. The correct syntax is ControlClick(Window title or handle, *window* text, control *id*, ...). Look at the helpfile and examples for it to see what you're not doing right currently.
The firefox download dialog is a little tricky, googling gives a lot of results for people who have tried to do the same thing and struggled.
The easiest method is to click the window at the coordinates of the button. ControlClick can be used for this (simply leave the control id blank). The AutoIt window info tool should give ControlClick coords when you try and select where the button is.
That method does assume that the button is always in the same place, which is not necessarily the case. Alternatives are to use ControlSend to send the Alt+S combination (or whatever it is for that button).
And finally, it's worth mentioning the IUIAutomation framework which has shown to be very reliable for automating windows that aren't using standard winapi controls.
The simplest way to do is as follows on mozilla:
Use the following code on autoit.au3 file
ControlFocus ( "MozillaDialogClass", "", "" )
Sleep(10)
Send("{ENTER}")
Execute the same file in selenium using:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Users\\Balaji\\Desktop\\autoit.exe");
Use the below code to download a file in Firefox using AutoIt.
WinWait("[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]","", 10)
If WinExists("[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]") Then
; Perform keyboard ALT key + s key to select Save File Radio button using keyboard shortcut.
ControlFocus ( "[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]","", "" )
Send("!s")
; Wait for 2 seconds
Sleep(2000)
; Press Keyboard ENTER button.
Send("{ENTER}")
EndIf

How to Right click of File in Windows Explorer by AutoIt

I wish to simulate a right click on a file. This is done by opening a Windows Explorer window and then right clicking on it.
The main issue is finding the location of the file in Windows Explorer. I am currently using Autoit v3.3.8.1.
My code 's first line:
RunWait (EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,/select,<filepath>)
The next step is the problem. Finding the coordinates of the file.
After that, right clicking at that coordinates (it seems to me at this time) is not a problem....
Some background:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Software Languages: C#, Autoit (for scripting)
The Autoit script is called by a code similar to that below:
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "AutoItScript.exe";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.Start();
The code is compiled into a console class file which is run at startup. The autoit script runs as the explorer window opens up.
It seems as though you are taking the wrong approach to the problem, so I'll answer what you are asking and what you should be asking.
First up though, that line of code is not valid, and is not what you want either. You want to automate the explorer window, and RunWait waits for the program to finish. Furthermore you want those items to be strings, that code would never work.
Finding the item in explorer
The explorer window is just a listview, and so you can use normal listview messages to find the coordinates of an item. This is done most simply by AutoIt's GUIListView library:
#include<GUIListView.au3>
Local $filepath = "D:\test.txt"
Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
ProcessWait($iPid)
Sleep(1000)
Local $hList = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[CLASS:SysListView32; INSTANCE:1]")
Local $aClient = WinGetPos($hList)
Local $aPos = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemPosition($hList, _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($hList))
MouseClick("Right", $aClient[0] + $aPos[0] + 4, $aClient[1] + $aPos[1] + 4)
As has already been mentioned, sending the menu key is definitely a better way than having to move the mouse.
Executing a subitem directly
This is how it should be done. Ideally you should never need an explorer window open at all, and everything can be automated in the background. This should always be what you aim to achieve, as AutoIt is more than capable in most cases. It all depends on what item you want to click. If it is one of the first few items for opening the file in various programs, then it is as simple as either:
Using ShellExecute, setting the verb parameter to whatever it is you want to do.
Checking the registry to find the exact command line used by the program. For this you will need to look under HKCR\.ext where ext is the file extension, the default value will be the name of another key in HKCR which has the actions and icon associated with the filetype. This is pretty well documented online, so google it.
If the action is not one of the program actions (so is built into explorer) then it is a little more complex. Usually the best way will be to look at task manager when you start the program and see what it runs. Other things can be found online, for example (un)zipping. Actions like copy, delete, rename, create shortcut, send to... They can all be done directly from AutoIt with the various File* functions.
With more information, it would be possible to give you more specific help.
First, you might want to look at the Microsoft Active Accessibility SDK. In particular look at this interface...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/accessibility.iaccessible.aspx
You can use this to walk the items in the control and find the one with the file name you are looking for and its screen location.
From there, maybe try something like this for simulating the right click.
How can I use automation to right-click with a mouse in Windows 7?
Once you have done the right click, use accessibility again to find the right option on the context menu.
Maybe there's an easier way, you should be able to cobble something together like this if you don't find one. Good luck!
Suppose I have a file named test.txt on D drive. It needs to right click for opening Context Menu. To do this, the following code should work:
Local $filepath = "D:\test.txt"
Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
ProcessWait($iPid)
Sleep(1000)
Send('+{F10}')
