Queener Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I tried multiple ways, but it doesn't click the button: Here's what I tried: ControlClick("[Title:Alarm]","[CLASS:Button]", "[INSTANCE:2]") ControlClick("[Title:Alarm]","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]") ControlClick("[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]", "") ControlClick("[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]", "Primary") Here's the detail from WindowsInfo >>>> Window <<<< Title: Alarm Class: #32770 Position: -273, 143 Size: 874, 344 Style: 0x94CC0044 ExStyle: 0x00010104 Handle: 0x00140A70 >>>> Control <<<< Class: Button Instance: 2 ClassnameNN: Button2 Name: Advanced (Class): [CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2] ID: 1008 Text: Stop and Exit Position: 635, 270 Size: 137, 25 ControlClick Coords: 92, 11 Style: 0x50010000 ExStyle: 0x00020004 Handle: 0x00140B8C >>>> Mouse <<<< Position: 462, 454 Cursor ID: 0 Color: 0xCEF0F0 The winactivate works and I know that part already; just the controlclick. Sometimes the alarm windows popup elsewhere if I use coordinates so it won't work. any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Moderators Melba23 Posted July 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2013 asianqueen,Open the Help file page for ControlClick and compare those snippets to the required syntax. You will see that none of them match - so it js hardly surprising that none of them work. You need 3 obligatory parameters: title, text, ControlID - you have a title, the Advanced CLASS information you have will act as a ControlID, and you can leave the text parameter as an empty string (""). So why not put those parameters into the correct places in the function call and see if it works then.

BrewManNH Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Your button information is in the "text" parameter in your first 2 tries, put "", before the button information and use the second example you posted. The help file is the best place to find out how to use a function, optional parameters aren't optional if you use one of the other optional parameters that come after it Left to Right.

Queener Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) will give it a try. I don't like the help file as it's using a notepad as an example which doesn't help at all. EDIT: Works great. Just missed the position Both of you guys give good details to get it right. Don't know to select which one as the person who resolved my issue. Just mark as resolved.

BrewManNH Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Well, if you used the help file to find out how this stuff actually works, you'd stop making posts like this all of the time....I'm just sayin' If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

You are mistaken in what you need to look at - the examples are just that: examples. Look at the full syntax explanation in the top part of the page - that is the important stuff.
