This example is about using Microsoft UI Automation APIs in AutoIt. Ie. it's about using interfaces, objects, methods, properties and constants as they are defined directly by Microsoft. In AutoIt, the definitions are contained in CUIAutomation2.au3 by junkew. The definitions are copied from corresponding C/C++ header files and customized the AutoIt language. This example is not about the functions in UIAWrappers.au3 by junkew. The purpose of the example is to show how to use Microsoft UI Automation APIs directly without any intermediate AutoIt functions. A major advantage of this approach is that the Microsoft documentation directly can be used as AutoIt documentation. Other major advantages are that there is no need for documenting and maintaining a set of intermediate AutoIt functions. Without intermediate AutoIt functions the code will be very fast. All Microsoft functions can be used this way eg. functions for event handling. New interfaces, objects, methods, properties and constants can easily be added simply by adding the definitions to CUIAutomation2.au3. Is this approach difficult? Not at all as the examples will show. The example is inspired by this comment of mLipok. Including documentation and pictures, even a simple Notepad automation can be somewhat comprehensive. Therefore a new example. First post will be a list of examples. The examples themselves are reviewed in the following posts. In all examples UIASpy is used to get element information.

I searched around on here for some SQL stuff to use with an MSDE database and I ended up getting confused so I tried to simplfy it a bit, there are only a couple of functions so far but I guess someone may find it usefull. I have a database called test and a table called BBKS This has been totally revamped now and it uses very similar syntax to the SQLITE3 functions included with Autoit3 It will break any scripts that used the previous _SQL.au3 file but the new file is much more user friendly See the example below #include <_sql.au3> #include <array.au3> Opt ("trayIconDebug",1) Msgbox(0,"","Start the Script and load the error handler") _SQL_RegisterErrorHandler();register the error handler to prevent hard crash on COM error $oADODB = _SQL_Startup() If $oADODB = $SQL_ERROR then Msgbox(0 + 16 +262144,"Error",_SQL_GetErrMsg()) If _sql_Connect(-1,"localhost","","sa","Superartcore") = $SQL_ERROR then Msgbox(0 + 16 +262144,"Error",_SQL_GetErrMsg()) _SQL_Close() Exit EndIf If _SQL_Execute(-1,"Create database My_SQL_Test;") = $SQL_ERROR then Msgbox(0 + 16 +262144,"Error",_SQL_GetErrMsg()) _SQL_Close() Msgbox(0,"","Created datatbase logging out and back in again") $oADODB = _SQL_Startup() If _SQL_Connect(-1,"localhost","My_SQL_Test","sa","Superartcore") = $SQL_ERROR then Msgbox(0 + 16 +262144,"Error",_SQL_GetErrMsg()) If _SQL_Execute(-1, "CREATE TABLE BBKS (ID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),ComputerName VARCHAR(20) UNIQUE,Status VARCHAR(10),Error VARCHAR(10)Primary Key (ID));") = $SQL_ERROR then Msgbox(0 + 16 +262144,"Error",_SQL_GetErrMsg()) If _SQL_Execute(-1,"INSERT INTO BBKS (ComputerName,Status,Error) VALUES ('"& @computername & "','On;li''ne','None');") = $SQL_ERROR then Msgbox(0 + 16 +262144,"Error",_SQL_GetErrMsg()) If _SQL_Execute(-1,"INSERT INTO BBKS (ComputerName,Status,Error) VALUES ('1"& @computername & "','On;li''ne','None');") = $SQL_ERROR then Msgbox(0 + 16 +262144,"Error",_SQL_GetErrMsg()) If _SQL_Execute(-1,"INSERT INTO BBKS (ComputerName,Status,Error) VALUES ('2"& @computername & "','Online','None');") = $SQL_ERROR then Msgbox(0 + 16 +262144,"Error",_SQL_GetErrMsg()) ; this one will cause an error because the computername is not unique!

Automating Notepad This example is a response to a request by mLipok for a simple Notepad automation. Task: Create a simple script to fill up "Edit1" with HelloWorld, click "Save As...", enter filename and finally save it to disc. This involves automating Notepad or more generally an Edit control, it involves automating a menu and a Save As dialog. Note that "Edit1" (from AutoIt Window Info tool) is not a valid control identification in UI Automation code. Do not open Notepad in advance. This will be done in the code. Start the code by opening Notepad and create the UI Automation object through IUIAutomation interface. I almost always create the Desktop element. Note how you first get a pointer to the element (GetRootElement method of $oUIAutomation object), and then creates the object that represents the element through IUIAutomationElement interface. UI Automation elements are nearly always created this way through a pointer. #include "..\..\Includes\CUIAutomation2.au3" Example() Func Example() ; Open Notepad Run( "Notepad" ) Sleep( 1000 ) ; Create UI Automation object Local $oUIAutomation = ObjCreateInterface( $sCLSID_CUIAutomation, $sIID_IUIAutomation, $dtagIUIAutomation ) If Not IsObj( $oUIAutomation ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oUIAutomation ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oUIAutomation OK" & @CRLF ) ; Get Desktop element Local $pDesktop, $oDesktop $oUIAutomation.GetRootElement( $pDesktop ) $oDesktop = ObjCreateInterface( $pDesktop, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oDesktop ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oDesktop ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oDesktop OK" & @CRLF ) EndFunc Open Examples\Notepad\Notepad.au3 (empty) in SciTE. Add the code, run the code with F5 and leave Notepad open. Check that SciTE output is OK. Next step is to get the Notepad window as an UI Automation element. Open UIASpy (included in zip-file, keep UIASpy open throughout the entire example), place mouse cursor over Notepad title bar and press F2: (You can delete other windows in UIASpy by right-clicking treeview top windows (level one items).) $UIA_ClassNamePropertyId = "Notepad" is used to create a property condition to identify Notepad. Note that you can copy this line in UIASpy listview: Select the line in the listview, click "Right pane" item in main menu, click "Copy all or selected items to clipboard", paste the line into your code editor. Add this code to the existing code: ; --- Notepad window --- ConsoleWrite( "--- Notepad window ---" & @CRLF ) Local $pCondition ; Note that $UIA_ClassNamePropertyId maybe ia a CASE SENSITIVE condition $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_ClassNamePropertyId, "Notepad", $pCondition ) If Not $pCondition Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition OK" & @CRLF ) Local $pNotepad, $oNotepad $oDesktop.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition, $pNotepad ) $oNotepad = ObjCreateInterface( $pNotepad, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oNotepad ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oNotepad ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oNotepad OK" & @CRLF ) EndFunc Note again how we first get a pointer to Notepad (FindFirst method of $oDesktop object, $oDesktop because the Desktop is the parent element of Notepad) and then creates the object. Also note that $oDesktop and $oNotepad are created in exactly the same way. Close the previous Notepad, run the code and leave Notepad open. Check that SciTE output is OK. Now, the actual automation starts: Fill up "Edit1" with HelloWorld. An automation task is almost always done in two or three steps: 1. Create condition to find element 2. Find the UI Automation element 3. Extract info or perform action Each of these steps can usually be done in 1 - 3 lines of UI Automation code. All three steps can usually be done in less that 10 lines of UI Automation code (common AutoIt debug/info code not included). To get the Notepad window above we only used two steps. The first automation task is to perform an action to fill out the Edit control with "HelloWorld". Place mouse cursor in the Edit control and press F1: (If there are two or more Notepad windows in UIASpy, you can delete the old windows (red) by right-clicking the treeview.) This time we can use $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId = "15" to create a property condition to identify the Edit control. Add this code: ; --- Fill Edit element --- ConsoleWrite( "--- Fill Edit element ---" & @CRLF ) ; Note that $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId is a STRING and maybe a CASE SENSITIVE condition $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId, "15", $pCondition ) If Not $pCondition Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition OK" & @CRLF ) Local $pEdit, $oEdit $oNotepad.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition, $pEdit ) $oEdit = ObjCreateInterface( $pEdit, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oEdit ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oEdit ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oEdit OK" & @CRLF ) EndFunc $oNotepad.FindFirst means that the search for the Edit control starts in the Notepad window. $oEdit reprecents the Edit control. Close the previous Notepad, run the code and leave Notepad open. Check that SciTE output is OK. The Edit control must be filled with "HelloWorld". This is an action that has to be performed on the Edit control. The following actions are available: (Scroll down UIASpy listview to see Control Patterns (actions).) The interesting action or pattern here is the ValuePattern. The action is created and performed this way: Local $pValue, $oValue $oEdit.GetCurrentPattern( $UIA_ValuePatternId, $pValue ) $oValue = ObjCreateInterface( $pValue, $sIID_IUIAutomationValuePattern, $dtagIUIAutomationValuePattern ) If Not IsObj( $oValue ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oValue ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oValue OK" & @CRLF ) $oValue.SetValue( "HelloWorld" ) EndFunc $oEdit.GetCurrentPattern means that a pattern is created that performs actions on the Edit control. GetCurrentPattern method returns a pointer where from the ValuePattern object ($oValue) can be created. $UIA_ValuePatternId and the ValuePattern interface is defined in CUIAutomation2.au3. The $oValue object represents the ValuePattern interface for the Edit control. $oValue.SetValue( "HelloWorld" ) sets the text in the Edit control. An action or pattern is almost always created and performed this way. Add the code, close the previous Notepad, run the code and leave Notepad open. Open File menu. Place mouse cursor over the File menu and press F1: (Scroll down UIASpy listview to see Control Patterns (actions) in bottom of image.) ; --- Open File menu --- ConsoleWrite( "--- Open File menu ---" & @CRLF ) Local $pCondition1 $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_ControlTypePropertyId, $UIA_MenuItemControlTypeId, $pCondition1 ) If Not $pCondition1 Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition1 ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition1 OK" & @CRLF ) Local $pCondition2 ; $UIA_NamePropertyId is LOCALIZED and maybe CASE SENSITIVE $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_NamePropertyId, "File", $pCondition2 ) ; File <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< If Not $pCondition2 Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition2 ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition2 OK" & @CRLF ) ; And condition $oUIAutomation.CreateAndCondition( $pCondition1, $pCondition2, $pCondition ) If Not $pCondition Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition OK" & @CRLF ) Local $pFile, $oFile $oNotepad.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition, $pFile ) $oFile = ObjCreateInterface( $pFile, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oFile ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oFile ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oFile OK" & @CRLF ) Local $pInvoke, $oInvoke $oFile.GetCurrentPattern( $UIA_InvokePatternId, $pInvoke ) $oInvoke = ObjCreateInterface( $pInvoke, $sIID_IUIAutomationInvokePattern, $dtagIUIAutomationInvokePattern ) If Not IsObj( $oInvoke ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke OK" & @CRLF ) $oInvoke.Invoke() Sleep( 100 ) EndFunc The Invoke action or pattern is used to click and open the File menu. Note the similarity between the code for InvokePattern and ValuePattern above. When a menu, dialog box or child window is opened it need some time to open. You must add a Sleep statement. Add the code, change "File" to the corresponding word in your own language (copy the word from the listview), close the previous Notepad (don't save), run the code and leave Notepad open. Click "Save As..." menu. If the File menu that was opened above is closed, then open it manually with a mouse click. Place mouse cursor over the "Save As..." menu and press F1: ; --- Click "Save As..." menu --- ConsoleWrite( "--- Click ""Save As..."" menu ---" & @CRLF ) ; Reuse $pCondition1 above ; Note that $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId is a STRING and maybe a CASE SENSITIVE condition $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId, "4", $pCondition2 ) If Not $pCondition2 Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition2 ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition2 OK" & @CRLF ) ; And condition $oUIAutomation.CreateAndCondition( $pCondition1, $pCondition2, $pCondition ) If Not $pCondition Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition OK" & @CRLF ) Local $pSaveAs, $oSaveAs $oNotepad.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition, $pSaveAs ) $oSaveAs = ObjCreateInterface( $pSaveAs, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oSaveAs ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oSaveAs ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oSaveAs OK" & @CRLF ) $oSaveAs.GetCurrentPattern( $UIA_InvokePatternId, $pInvoke ) $oInvoke = ObjCreateInterface( $pInvoke, $sIID_IUIAutomationInvokePattern, $dtagIUIAutomationInvokePattern ) If Not IsObj( $oInvoke ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke OK" & @CRLF ) $oInvoke.Invoke() Sleep( 1000 ) EndFunc Note how similar the "Open File menu" code and the "Click Save As... menu" code is. Note also the long Sleep because it's a "Save As" dialog with a large number of elements. Add the code, close the previous Notepad (don't save), run the code and leave Notepad and Save As open. Save As window. Place mouse cursor over Save As title bar and press F2: ; --- Save As window --- ConsoleWrite( "--- Save As window ---" & @CRLF ) ; Note that $UIA_ClassNamePropertyId maybe ia a CASE SENSITIVE condition $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_ClassNamePropertyId, "#32770", $pCondition ) If Not $pCondition Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition OK" & @CRLF ) Local $pSaveAsWin, $oSaveAsWin $oNotepad.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition, $pSaveAsWin ) $oSaveAsWin = ObjCreateInterface( $pSaveAsWin, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oSaveAsWin ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oSaveAsWin ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oSaveAsWin OK" & @CRLF ) EndFunc The rest of the automation tasks is about the Save As window. Therefore we want to use the Save As window as the starting point. Not Notepad. Add the code, close the previous Save As and Notepad (don't save), run the code and leave Notepad and Save As open. Set File name. Place mouse cursor over File name Edit control and press F1: ; --- Set File name --- ConsoleWrite( "--- Set File name ---" & @CRLF ) ; Note that $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId is a STRING and maybe a CASE SENSITIVE condition $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId, "1001", $pCondition ) If Not $pCondition Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition OK" & @CRLF ) $oSaveAsWin.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition, $pEdit ) $oEdit = ObjCreateInterface( $pEdit, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oEdit ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oEdit ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oEdit OK" & @CRLF ) $oEdit.GetCurrentPattern( $UIA_ValuePatternId, $pValue ) $oValue = ObjCreateInterface( $pValue, $sIID_IUIAutomationValuePattern, $dtagIUIAutomationValuePattern ) If Not IsObj( $oValue ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oValue ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oValue OK" & @CRLF ) $oValue.SetValue( "HelloWorld.txt" ) EndFunc $oSaveAsWin.FindFirst searches in the Save As window. $oEdit is now the File name Edit control in the Save As window. The file name is set to "HelloWorld.txt". Add the code, close the previous Save As and Notepad (don't save), run the code and leave Notepad and Save As open. Click Save button. Place mouse cursor over Save button and press F1: ; --- Click Save button --- ConsoleWrite( "--- Click Save button ---" & @CRLF ) $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_ControlTypePropertyId, $UIA_ButtonControlTypeId, $pCondition1 ) If Not $pCondition1 Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition1 ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition1 OK" & @CRLF ) ; Note that $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId is a STRING and maybe a CASE SENSITIVE condition $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition( $UIA_AutomationIdPropertyId, "1", $pCondition2 ) If Not $pCondition2 Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition2 ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition2 OK" & @CRLF ) ; And condition $oUIAutomation.CreateAndCondition( $pCondition1, $pCondition2, $pCondition ) If Not $pCondition Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$pCondition OK" & @CRLF ) Local $pSave, $oSave $oSaveAsWin.FindFirst( $TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition, $pSave ) $oSave = ObjCreateInterface( $pSave, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) If Not IsObj( $oSave ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oSave ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oSave OK" & @CRLF ) $oSave.GetCurrentPattern( $UIA_InvokePatternId, $pInvoke ) $oInvoke = ObjCreateInterface( $pInvoke, $sIID_IUIAutomationInvokePattern, $dtagIUIAutomationInvokePattern ) If Not IsObj( $oInvoke ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke OK" & @CRLF ) $oInvoke.Invoke() EndFunc Add the code, close the previous Save As and Notepad (don't save) and run the code.

Summary The two most important objects in UI Automation code are the $oUIAutomation and $oUIElement objects created from IUIAutomation and IUIAutomationElement interfaces. An UI Automation element object that represents a window or control is always created with the IUIAutomationElement interface through a pointer to the element object: $oDesktop = ObjCreateInterface( $pDesktop, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) $oNotepad = ObjCreateInterface( $pNotepad, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) $oEdit = ObjCreateInterface( $pEdit, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement ) An UI Automation task is almost always done in two or three steps: 1. Create condition to find element 2. Find the UI Automation element 3. Extract info or perform action Each of these steps can usually be done in 1 - 3 lines of UI Automation code. All three steps can usually be done in less that 10 lines of UI Automation code (common AutoIt debug/info code not included). UI Automation actions (patterns) are performed through pattern interfaces, objects and methods. The code is nearly always implemented this way: Fill an Edit control: Local $pValue, $oValue $oEdit.GetCurrentPattern( $UIA_ValuePatternId, $pValue ) $oValue = ObjCreateInterface( $pValue, $sIID_IUIAutomationValuePattern, $dtagIUIAutomationValuePattern ) If Not IsObj( $oValue ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oValue ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oValue OK" & @CRLF ) $oValue.SetValue( "HelloWorld" ) $oEdit is an Edit control. The $oValue object represents the ValuePattern interface for the Edit control. $oValue.SetValue() sets the text in the Edit control. Click a menu item: Local $pInvoke, $oInvoke $oFile.GetCurrentPattern( $UIA_InvokePatternId, $pInvoke ) $oInvoke = ObjCreateInterface( $pInvoke, $sIID_IUIAutomationInvokePattern, $dtagIUIAutomationInvokePattern ) If Not IsObj( $oInvoke ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke OK" & @CRLF ) $oInvoke.Invoke() Sleep( 100 ) $oFile is a File menu. The $oInvoke object represents the InvokePattern interface for the File menu. $oInvoke.Invoke() clicks the File menu. Sleep( 100 ) gives the File menu time to open. Click a button control: $oSave.GetCurrentPattern( $UIA_InvokePatternId, $pInvoke ) $oInvoke = ObjCreateInterface( $pInvoke, $sIID_IUIAutomationInvokePattern, $dtagIUIAutomationInvokePattern ) If Not IsObj( $oInvoke ) Then Return ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke ERR" & @CRLF ) ConsoleWrite( "$oInvoke OK" & @CRLF ) $oInvoke.Invoke() $oSave is a Save button. The $oInvoke object represents the InvokePattern interface for the Save button. $oInvoke.Invoke() clicks the Save button. When writing UI Automation code, it's easiest to write the code in small steps and test the code after each step. Error management based on checking objects with IsObj() and ConsoleWrite() is required and sufficient. It's very rare necessary to use an actual object (COM) error handler. Too small Sleep times after a menu, dialog or window is opened is a common error.

Took me a while but I figured this out for my own use, hope it helps you out as well! Also remember to switch out the Discord webhook URL for your own.

'quantum level' Time control is control (e.g. label) showing current time. Depending on your project theme it's sometimes good to have that control in your GUI. This is fairly simple task to build an maintain. Only thing that's not good is that you have either adlib it or add part of the code in script's main loop. Actually that's not bad thing . The bad thing is blocking effect of things that blocks, lol. Dialogs blocks. Other time consuming stuff blocks too. Solution could be to write main script in assembly and part that deals with time in plain AutoiIt. That way the main script could be pushed to some other thread and there would be no interference with our clock and the main script that would cause it to lag. That idea is totally and unbelievable stupid! Much smarter would be generate assembly on the fly to deal with clock/time and to push that to another thread.

A bug has been discovered, affecting the function _WholeNumberDivision(), which caused division by 1 to return incorrect results. A patch has been added. After looking again at this, for a moment, I wondered why I had excluded the input value 0x8000000000000000. If anyone else wondered about this, here is the answer: you cannot change the sign of that number without invoking integer overflow. Error return values may also be added to this function at some point in the future. Testing reveals further serious bugs. Pity I had no time to test this until now.
