Can a window of ''ahk_class #32770" to be navigated to a spesific folder path by creating a ComObject or using dll? Topic is solved

[Zach47]

Hi,
I know a window of "ahk_class CabinetWClass" can be navigated to a spesific folder path by creating a ComObject.
But I couldn't make a window of ''ahk_class #32770" to be navigated to a spesific folder path by creating a ComObject.
Does anyone know how to do it?

Code: Select all

    path_folder_target := 'C:\'
    explorerHwnd := WinActive("ahk_class CabinetWClass") or WinActive("ahk_class #32770")
    if (explorerHwnd)
    {
        for window in ComObject("Shell.Application").Windows
        {
            if (window.hwnd == explorerHwnd)
            {
                window.navigate(path_folder_target)
            }
        }
    }

If you mean a "Save As", "Open" etcetera window from an external application then I don't know of any COM way to do that.

But you can interact with the window in other ways to set a folder path.

Code: Select all

ControlFocus("Edit1", "A")
ControlSetText("C:\some folder", "Edit1", "A")
ControlSend("{Enter}", "Edit1", "A") ; apply the path to make the Save As window navigate to it

Though in my experience some such windows can vary in subtle ways that might require more conditions and special cases in the code.
