SAN123SAD Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi All, I am quite an intermediate in using AUTOIT and i am using it to automate one of our application. From past two months i am working on AUTOIT, Right now i am using the mouse coordinates to move to the certain point in the GUI and then click on the same. The question i am stuck with is, Instead of using mouse coordinates I want store all the coordinates and calculate based on the requirements and then click on the same. Kindly, help me if there is any where i can get all the coordinates like $left, $right, $top, $bottom and perform calculations on the same. helenmichell4U 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted February 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2017 @SAN123SAD first off, is this a GUI you created, or a third-party application? Have you tried using the Control* methods to interact with the GUI, so you don't have to bother with MouseMove and MouseClick? How about posting your code so we can see what you're trying to do, rather than having us guess? "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

I tried using Control Methods, By using control methods i was not able to click on the desired point. ControlMove("Subex ROC Partner Settlement 9.7 Client - ConciliaCore","","1706590",521,22,1280,69) ControlClick("Subex ROC Partner Settlement 9.7 Client - ConciliaCore","Billing","1706590","LEFT",1,521,22) These are the control methods lines i am trying to use. I have a doubt here, Control methods also use coordinates ryt? Let me know if there is any way of moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted February 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2017 You can use WinGetPos as J1 suggests if you want to stick with mouse manipulation. There is also a Java UDF, or the IUIAutomation thread in our examples forum. I believe both could be of use to you. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

JohnOne Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Also for reference look up MouseCoordMode AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnOne Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Any coordinate parameters you pass tp MouseClick function can be made relative to your active java window, so 0, 0 would be corner of the window.

JohnOne, I have set the Mousecoordmode to 0 so it will always try to pick up the relative position in the active java window. But i see sometimes it acts abruptly and clicks in the wrong points and opens other window which were not supposed to be clicked on. I was thinking since i am using mousecoordinates so it is happening like this and started to explore on how it can pick up the mouse coordinates for every window and calculate. Based on calculation which ever the desired point it can reach on. Since i will be creating an automation suite for the same i cannot monitor as to it will hit right spot everytime.

JohnOne Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 You are not wrong, if you script is to be distributed then UIAutomation is the way to go, because even if you get the mouseclicks right on your system, the window might be resized on another.

JohnOne Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 There is a udf in example scripts, I do not belive the actual ms code is open source.

How is the UIAutomation different from what we are using in AUTOIT. Any info how to start working on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It uses different tech than AutoIt, the udf just utilizes it. I personally have not used it, but it is specifically created to handle controls which AutoIt (windows api) cannot natively handle. There are many examples in the thread which is stickied, and is much more complicated than Mouse* and Control* functions.
