I have tried at least dozen of solutions I have found on this forum but nothing seems to be working. I used AU3 Info to get window/button info but I must be putting it together in wrong way.

WinActivate ("Windows Remote Assistance", "")

ControlClick("Windows Remote Assistance", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:4]") <- this doesn't work.

I think just about everybody have seen Windows Remote Assistance window. I want this script to click Invite someone you trust to help you. Image bellow represent that button.

Run just this (Make sure I have the title right):

#include <Array.au3>
Global $ga_hWnds = WinList("Windows Remote Assistant")
_ArrayDisplay($ga_hWnds)

And provide us with how many window handles it returns ( or provide a screen shot ).

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

[0]|1|

[1]|Windows Remote Assistance|0x00840232

This is what returned.

Also,

WinActivate("Windows Remote Assistance", "")

$Check = ControlClick("Windows Remote Assistance", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:4]")

If $Check = 1 Then

MsgBox(0, "", "Success")

Else

MsgBox(0, "", "Error")

EndIf

Returns: Success box.

Well, it's true that some windows resist automation.

Before we get into that, let me know if this works:

Global $gs_WinTitle = "Windows Remote Assistant"
Global $gh_Win = WinGetHandle($gs_WinTitle)
If Not IsHWnd($gh_Win) Then
    MsgBox(16 + 262144, "Error", "Window title doesn't exist")
    Exit 1
EndIf
Global $gh_CtrlHandle = ControlGetHandle($gh_Win, "", "Button4")
If Not IsHWnd($gh_CtrlHandle) Then
    MsgBox(16 + 262144, "Error", "Could not get handle for ""Button4""")
    $gh_CtrlHandle = ControlGetHandle($gh_Win, "", "[CLASS:BUTTON;INSTANCE:4]")
    If Not IsHWnd($gh_CtrlHandle) Then
        MsgBox(16 + 262144, "Error", "Could not get handle for ""[CLASS:BUTTON;INSTANCE:4]""")
        Exit 2
    EndIf
EndIf
WinActivate($gh_Win)
ControlFocus($gh_Win, "", $gh_CtrlHandle); Some controls require focus
ControlClick($gh_Win, "", $gh_CtrlHandle, "PRIMARY")
Exit 0 ; should be success
Or what you get from the debug info.

I have a ControlClick function i posted once in example scripts.

It is called MsClick i think.

What i do when i face windows that resists automatation is this:

I get position of the window, i get windows h/w, get the desktop h/w get the position of the button, calculate the maths for 100% accurate click and then i use MsClick witch is something similar to controllclick.

Edit: and btw try it like this...

WinActivate ("Windows Remote Assistance", "")
ControlClick("Windows Remote Assistance", "", "248")

Didn't work. Sadly I don't know nothing about debugging. :( However, another info: MouseClick("left", X, Y, 1, 10), where x,y is center of the button doesn't work as well. Cursor moves to the location but nothing else happens. Edited by crisu

Sounds like you need something like _MouseClickPlus() or something.

Which uses Client Coords I believe.

You'll have to find the udf or maybe ileandros's udf up there he mentions does it.

You'll need to make sure you set infotool -> Options -> Coord Mode to client

Then you'll need to make sure you're using Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2) in your script ( you can actually set that then try your mouseclick again if you think you already got client coords.

An xpos of 1 and a ypos of 10 kind of sounds like you're using the x and y of the control though, you need the client x and y of the control when using Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2).

Sorry I'm not much help here, I don't have that app that I'm aware of ( remote desktop didn't pop it up ), and I'm actually working on something for myself at the moment.

Edit:

If all else fails, Xandy has a decent suggestion ( using maybe ControlSend() to the window, or just Send() if you're sure it's active ). I'm not a fan of magic tabs/enter myself though.

Hope it works out.

wrong ypos originally

Intrigued... Tried it for myself (I'm running W7 x64 Pro English, by the way) and I think I got it.

The assistance thingy indeed denies automation because your user doesn't have enough elevation. Put #RequireAdmin on top of your script (and allow it to elevate when asked at the start obviously) and it works just fine.

Good luck!

Excellent! I can work with that. Thank you so much!
