Automate all windows and browser applications with one UDF function library. Based on the microsoft automation API this library high level supports Recognition of conttrols from EDGE, Chrome, FF, Opera, Safari and Windows native apps Small testing framework to split object repository from coding away Introduction Quickstart - Getting started quickly Simple scripts With this module you can automate all applications/programs that support ui automation and/or accesibility api from microsoft you can recognize more controls than AutoIT can recognize "out of the box" you can use concepts from other testing frameworks like http://download.freedesktop.org/ldtp/doc/ldtp-tutorial.pdf http://safsdev.sourceforge.net/Default.htm coded ui testing from microsoft Some of those controls / applications are chrome browser (partly mainwindow has to be done with MSAA for navigating) chrome://accessibility in the adress bar of chrome or start with "--force-renderer-accessibility" silverlight controls Ribbon control controlbars of Excel/Word IE and FF browsers Windows Media Player Windows clock AFX .. controls (partly) .... Based on the initial AIO Object I now have made the interface file to work with objCreateInterface function which is in the latest beta's automate clicking and querying basic information It gives you a lot of basic information to be able to automate clicking, querying basic information where it goes further in certain situations than AutoIt is identifying Starting threads for background on the ui automation api of microsoft (not for starters) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_UI_Automation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms747327.aspx Previous threads in general help/support Interface AutoItObject IUIAutomation ObjCreateInterface and struct tagPoint in method ElementFromPoint Be aware that API is not allways installed under XP/Vista see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971513 Within Windows 7 and Windows 8 it should be preinstalled by default. Be aware on 32 and 64 bits way of running your script #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y or N Basic example of usage / showing and retrieving the default information, will post multiple examples later Hover your mouse to an area of interest and press ctrl+w and information will be shown in the edit box of the form Simple spy demo (see simplespy.au3 or use latest ZIP attachment for latest version) Main features Recognize windows and html controls for the major browsers Logical and physical description for controls (UI mapping, Application map) Simple repository logic to abstract logical and physical descriptions Store Runtime Type Information in RTI. variables Rubberbanding/highlighting of objects Simple spy to help in making / identifying the physical description Support of regular expression(s) in identifying objects recognize objects on multiple properties supported properties: name ,title, automationid, classname, class, iaccessiblevalue, iaccessiblechildId, controltype, processid, acceleratorkey The actions provided so far "leftclick", "left", "click", "leftdoubleclick", "leftdouble", "doubleclick", _ "rightclick", "right", "rightdoubleclick", "rightdouble", _ "middleclick", "middle", "middledoubleclick", "middledouble", "mousemove", "movemouse" "setvalue","settextvalue" "setvalue using keys" "setValue using clipboard" "getvalue" "sendkeys", "enterstring", "type", "typetext" "invoke" "focus", "setfocus", "activate" "close" "move","setposition" "resize" "minimize", "maximize", "normal", "close", "exist", "exists" "searchcontext", "context" "highlight" "getobject","object" "attach" "capture","screenshot", "takescreenshot" "dump", "dumpthemall" "propertyvalue", "property" match on multiple properties like: name:=((Zoeken.*)|(Find.*)); ControlType:=Button; acceleratorkey:=Ctrl+F Support for 117 different properties see $UIA_propertiesSupportedArray in uiawrappers like for example title, regexptitle, class, regexpclass, iaccessiblevalue, iaccessiblechildid, name, accesskey, automationid, classname IAccessible, IAccessible2, ISimpleDom interfaces debuglogging to a file log.txt (no output in scitewindow) Examples Example 1 Iterating thru the different ways of representing the objects in the tree (#comment-1105548) Example 2 Finding the taskbar and clicking on the start menu button (#comment-1105680) Example 3 Clicking a litlle more and in the end displaying all items from the clock (thats not directly possible with AU3Info) (#comment-1108849) Example 4 that demonstrates the calculator Example 5 Automating chrome Example 6 Demonstrates all stuff within chrome to navigate html pages, find hyperlink, click hyperlink, find picture, click picture, enter data in inputbox Example 7 The chrome example modified to a firefox example Example 8 The other major browser Internet Explorer automated (made on Example 6 and 7) Example 9 Windows media player Example 10 Automating mach 3 (AFX windows and other hard to get recognized by AutoIT) Lot of links are broken due to forum upgrade just search for the text like "Example 11 Demonstrate Word, Notepad and Calculator actions" Example 11 Demonstrate Word, Notepad and Calculator actions ...

TODO Build recorder Enhance the spy with a nicer UI UI for the repository (now in the script with dot notation) Enhance mapping / identifying on multiple properties instead of 1 combined with index If speed becomes an issue use the caching logic of the MS UIA framework Add the other patterns later Generalize the concept of System Under Test of starting the SUT (for testing framework purposes) Remote running of scripts Fix issue on finding within dynamic context ... edit august 18th 2013 initial post Only zip files are needed to download , just unzip in 1 directory edit july 2016 Made V0_63 and examples works with AutoIt v3.3.14 Windows 10 tested Simple spy gives some basic code as a present Chrome latest versions seems to be having issues with IUIAutomation on tabs/buttons of mainwindow use MSAA for accessing tabsheets / buttons more cleanup to be in UDF style More comments in the source see changelog.txt for previous changes edit september 2017 All examples fixed for the IE, Firefox and Chrome browser Some small but essential fixes in UIAWrappers edit april 2018 Enhanced logic on fallback / dynamic search, still not perfect, to slow Retested with latest Chrome, FF, Edge and IE11 and some extensions to show how to get text from the webpage (examples 5,6,7) Some small bugfixes Some comments as given in forum incorporated edit may 2019 Speed enhancements on especially fallback searching UIA.CFG works now in a better way to turn on/off debug, highlighting, debug2file More stable and consistent behavior Internal cleanup and refactoring of bigger functions Checked with W10 (not tested on W7) Added some W10 properties Run with 3.3.14.5 on W10 UIA_V0_51.zip EXAMPLES_V0_5.zip UIA_V0_63.zip EXAMPLES_V0_63.zip UIA_V0_64.zip EXAMPLES_V0_64.zip EXAMPLES_V0_66.zip UIA_V0_66.zip EXAMPLES_V0_70.zip UIA_V0_70.zip

Sup, This isn't really an advanced UDF, but implements a couple of functions and features, with the idea of substituting the original functions like ConsoleWrite() and ConsoleWriteError() and the seriously sketchy ConsoleRead() lol. Public functions: Cout()Cin()Getch()Cerr()system()RegisterConsoleEvent()The motive for writing this was the missing ability to read user input from consoles in AutoIt, known as std::cin >> in C++. The UDF's design allows quick and simple access to the functions, without startup / shutdown and handle passing - all this is automatically taken care of. Some users may have know, that you cannot open a console if the script is running from SciTE - this UDF handles that problem, so you can open an console while running scripts through SciTE. Features: Dynamically opens and closes consolesUse the STDOUT, STDERR and STDIN streams like in other languages.Print coloured/styled textAccess the command interpreter through the console.Uses unicode.Register console events.The UDF is designed to work standalone and to have minimal overhead (> 0.1 ms for writing a coloured string)The UDF supports my style of scripting. I hate long names so standard UDF naming like _Console_WriteConsoleW() is abbreviated to Cout() for now. I also hate having to start up certain UDF's by calling funcs etc., so this is handled first time you call a function. Handles are controlled globally and closed when needed, so you don't need to pass them around lol. Why would anyone need this? Good question. I guess this mainly goes out to people with a bit of nostalgia in them. I personally like the feel of a console. Picture: Changelog: 25-06-2012 Fixed system() to allow case sensitive text.25-06-2012 Fixed typo's.Changed frequent dllcalls to use dllcalladdress for speed.Added RegisterConsoleEvent - functions can be registrered to be called on certain events, like closure of console. This can be used to mimic OnAutoItExit behaviour, that wont be called in case of bad closure.Various optimizations.09-07-2011 Added Getch() function.Better error handling all around.Put back color attribute constants as they are more symbolic imo.Decreased the standard size of Cin allocation (bit harsh to allocate 2 kb memory each time) - it's now changed to 128 chars.05-06-2011 Added color constants thanks to Warmonger.16-03-2011 Fixed Cin() bug.Cin() isn't returning a trailing CRLF anymore.Fixed startup function, so it should run from SciTE now.15-03-2011 - Initial release.NotesI know Matt Diesel was/is working on large, similar UDF, however i wanted something simpler and easier to use. This is the result. Thoughts? Console.au3

Already decided a while back to stop the support of the Obfuscation process and it is just a matter of putting in the time to make the changes to the AutoIt3Wrapper directives and GUI. Planning to do this for the next version of SciTE4AutoIt3. I've found the regression in the mean time and also implemented some speed improvements (10-20%) for /StripOnly. Uploaded Obfuscator v 1.1.0.3 to Beta. Jos

The environment of execution is scope in which the code is run. BrewManNH's bifurcation is correct but full definition of the term knows for another sub-context which then fully determines the environment of code execution. You can see it explained through means of code in this small example: Func ABC($bSomething = 0) Switch $bSomething Case 0 Local Static $vSomething = "2014" & @CRLF Case 1 Local Static $vSomething = "Happy New Year" & @CRLF Case 2 Local Static $vSomething = "Happy New Year " EndSwitch ConsoleWrite($vSomething) EndFunc ABC(0) ABC(1) ABC(2) ABC(0) ...The code is purely theoretrical.
