Selecting a context menu item

[dushkin]

Hi,
 
 Following my question >here, how do I select a menu item according to its text?
 
 I tried the following (please see also comments embedded):

 

If WinExists("[CLASS:#32768") Then

    $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32768") ;ContextMenu
    $hMenu = _SendMessage($hWnd, $MN_GETHMENU, 0, 0)

    If _GUICtrlMenu_IsMenu($hMenu) Then
        ConsoleWrite("$menuItemText = " & $menuItemText & @CRLF) ;That is the text I am searching in the menu..

        $menuItemsCount = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemCount($hMenu)
        ConsoleWrite("$menuItemsCount = " & $menuItemsCount & @CRLF)

        For $i = 0 To $menuItemsCount - 1 ;By the way I tried with FindItem and failed..
            $itemText = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($hMenu, $i)
            ConsoleWrite("$itemText = " & $itemText & @CRLF)

            If $itemText = $menuItemText Then

                Sleep(1000)
                ConsoleWrite("{ENTER}")
                Send("{ENTER}") ;Well, this wouldn't work of course because I didn't select an item. I think I could use here something like "selectItem (text) " before the "ENTER"
                Return True
            EndIf
        Next

        ConsoleWrite("Didn't find " & $menuItemText & " in menu" & @CRLF)
        Return False
    EndIf
EndIf

 

 
Thanks!

dushkin,

The only way I can get it to fire is like this:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include "SendMessage.au3"
#Include <GuiMenu.au3>

Global $sRequired_Text = "Select All"

While 1

    If WinExists("[CLASS:#32768]") Then
        $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32768]")
        $hMenu = _SendMessage($hWnd, $MN_GETHMENU, 0, 0)
        If _GUICtrlMenu_IsMenu($hMenu) Then
            $iCount = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemCount($hMenu)
            For $iIndex = 0 To $iCount - 1
                Local $sText = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($hMenu, $iIndex)
                If $sText = $sRequired_Text Then
                    $aPos = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemRect($hWnd, $hMenu, $iIndex)
                    $iOldOpt = Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
                    MouseClick("primary", $aPos[0], $aPos[1], 1, 20) ; Adjust the speed to suit
                    Opt("MouseCoordMode", $iOldOpt)
                EndIf
            Next
        EndIf
    EndIf

    Sleep(10)

WEnd

But there must be something more elegant. I will keep looking - or maybe someone else will put us both right!

P.S. When you post code please use Code tags - see here how to do it. Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags.

Thanks Mel.

 Well, your code really helped me, but I had to modify the Mosue click position.

 With your code, it try to click one item above the desired and left of it, meaning it didn't really clicked the Item.

 So I modified the line to 

MouseClick("primary", $aPos[0] + 100, $aPos[1] + 20, 1, 20) 

 and then it was ok, but the question is if this is the correct way? (and it is not!)

 How to perorm this task without manualy modifying the position values?

 Thanks!

dushkin,

I have no idea why it does not click in the correct place for you - as you can see I changed the MouseCoordMode mode to the current window, which should be the popup holding the context menu. It certainly worked for me when I tried it within SciTE. What you have done is the logical way to correct the position, but I am afraid I cannot explain why it is not moving to the right place automatically.

i think it should be:

MouseClick("primary", $aPos[0] + ($aPos[2] - $aPos[0]) / 10, $aPos[1] + ($aPos[3] - $aPos[1]) / 2, 1, 20)
