Click the save button "File Download Dialog" of the Internet browser through C #

I am working on automation of Internet researchers, and part of it is related to downloading files from a site hosting asp 2.0, and uses forms-based authentication, so I used browser automation to create end-to-end automation.

I was able to get to the point where I can click on the URL that the File Download dialog box displays in the browser, then I tried to use SendKeys to click the Save button, but it didn’t work without it.

Here is the code in which I use the FindWindow method to get the hWnd pointer of the file download dialog, and then using setActiveWindow I make it an active window so that SendKeys commands work on it, and then using SendKeys I tried to send Alt + S, but this did not work. I noticed that Tab, Escape and Enter work, but the Enter on Save button does not work.

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr SetActiveWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    IntPtr hwnd = FindWindow(null, "File Download");
    IntPtr nullptr = (IntPtr)0;
    if (hwnd != nullptr)
    {
        SetActiveWindow(hwnd);
        SendKeys.SendWait("%S");
    }
}

Using the same code, I was able to access the notepad by changing the value in FindWindow to "Untitled - Notepad".

Do I need to do something else, since this is a dialog and now a window? I am using IE8.

This is the alternate code I tried after the answer.

IntPtr hwnd = FindWindow(null, "File Download");
            IntPtr hokBtn = IntPtr.Zero;
            hokBtn = FindWindowEx(hwnd, hokBtn, "Button", IntPtr.Zero);
            hokBtn = FindWindowEx(hwnd, hokBtn, "Button", IntPtr.Zero);
            uint id = GetDlgCtrlID(hokBtn);
            SetActiveWindow(hwnd);
            IntPtr res = SendMessage(hokBtn, (int)0x00F5, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
            if (res.ToInt32() == 1)
                MessageBox.Show("success");

For clarity, I am adding a dialogue screen.
