Hi all,

I need to automate some mouse clicks in a GUI. It is an audio editor. Name is Steinberg Nuendo. My problem is, it doesn't have any controlIDs. So i did the automation with MouseClick() function. My question is, Is there any better ways to deal these kind of GUIs ?

I can't depend mouse click function. Especially when we need to change the mouse cord mode frequently.

You need to always know the size of the window and its position and the relative positions of the controls fro the windows position. I just maximize the window to solve this. You'll probably need to check the desktop resolution if its for other computers too. You can imgsearch and pixelgetcolor OCR and pixelchecksums to do most of the rest.

Get Scite to add a popup when you use a 3rd party UDF -> http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/docs/SciTE4AutoIt3/user-calltip-manager.html

@computergroove Thank you  . :) 

Edit - I did a speed search on help file about "Imgsearch". But didn't get any results
