How to Identify the Save Button in the IE Download Dialog box

Hello, 

In my application, there is option to download the file and when I click download option it shows me the Internet Exporer (IE) Download box with Open and Save button. Please see the screenshot.I need to click on Save and then Save As button to save the file. TestComplete recognize the dialog window but it does not recognize Save button,it actually understands through X &Y co-ordinate and clicks on SaveButton. I don't want to do with x & y cordinate as it is not reliable if the machine resolution changes. 

 

Can you let me know how can I recognize the object and click on it?

 

Regards,

    Yes, it's generally a pain to automate that.  What do you need to test that includes an IE download?

        Okay, try using Object Spy on the button and show us the Advanced values from that window.
