Hello All, I request your guidance approach for the following problem. I need to automate a desktop application which has settings window with multiple Tab Page control windows. Viz Dot.Net : System.Windows.Forms.TabControls. On popup there will be first Tab Page and its child contols are seen on the desktop and their handles are retreivable but the second Tab Page (hidden behind) is not identifiable by the AutoIt. I can work on the visible Tab Page window through the wise post avilable below but I can not look for the hidden Tab windows and controls unless make it visible by autromated mouse clicks identifying the coordinates (Which is a work around). Kindly let me know the approach as you are the best of knowledgable expertise. 1. For simplification Assume Tab Window similer to the - "LAN area connection Properties" window for understanding which has 2 tabs pages 1. Networking 2, Sharing. 2. On bringing up the LAN properties only Networking tab is visible but sharing tab is hidden behind. 3. Need is to automate a checkbox in sharing Tab Page hidden behind the Networking window with AutoIt. Please let me know if you need more information in this regards. Thanks and Best Regards.
