new to autoit, need help selecting radio button


Recommended Posts

I’m very new to AutoIt and I need help clicking a radio button in Windows.
 
Basically i'm going to create script (compiled to an exe) to do some stuff on first logon for new users.
 
I want to open the performance settings and click the adjust for best performance radio button.
 
I managed to put together the following bit of code to open the dialog box (first 3 lines are needed for something like XP, the last run last will open it directly if I’m running vista or later which is the preferred method apparently). I can’t figure out how to click the adjust for best performance and then click the OK button to dismiss the dialog box (2 Oks needed for win xp, only 1 for the others). Can anyone help? (There might be more than just English involved so I don’t know if trying to find that radio button by name or position is best)

In the code below, i don't even fully understand how the control click line is able to call up the correct dialog box. when i test on 2K8R2 for example, it works but I'm not even sure how it's clicking the right thing.

#include <GUITreeView.au3>

If @OSVersion = 'WIN_XP' Then
   Run('control sysdm.cpl,,3')
   WinWaitActive('System Properties')
   ControlClick('System Properties', '', 'Button2')
Else
   Run('SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe')
   WinWaitActive('Performance Options')
EndIf

Thanks

Hi, Welcome to Autoit Forum.

 

Use somethin like this.   

#include <GUITreeView.au3>

If @OSVersion = 'WIN_XP' Then
   Run('control sysdm.cpl,,3')
WinWaitActive('Propiedades del sistema')
ControlClick("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "Button2")
WinWaitActive('Opciones de rendimiento')
ControlClick("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "Button3")
Else
   Run('SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe')
   WinWaitActive('Performance Options')
EndIf

change the titles for English Version.

saludos

@ksdjh - You need to investigate the Window Title commands in the Help file, and the Window Info Tool that was installed with AutoIt. They should give you a clearer understanding, but don't hesitate to ask here if you aren't clear on what they tell you or can't figure how to implement what you want.
