Hello its me again,

i want to start a Adware-remover (adw-cleaner) and do a scan with the command Command click. 

#RequireAdmin
adw ()
Func adw ()
Run("C:\adwcleaner_7.0.5.0.exe","" ,@SW_MAXIMIZE )
;Activate Window
 WinActivate ( "Malwarebytes AdwCleaner 7" , "" )

 ; Wait 5 seconds for the  window to appear.
    Local $hWnd = WinWait("CLASS:wxWindowNR", "", 5)
ControlClick("Malwarebytes AdwCleaner 7","","CLASS:Button; TEXT:Scan; INSTANCE:4","","","","")


EndFunc

This is my code right now.

ADW-Cleaner is starting, but it is not clicking anywhere, where is my mistake? :) (or mistakes as i believe :D)

Sorry, this isn't really something I know much about, but I'll keep stabbing in the dark until someone more knowledgeable turns up...

I see in your inspector window Text: Actions, but you have TEXT: Scan....

Problem solving step 1: Write a simple, self-contained, running, replicator of your problem.

Here you go buddy. Works on win7

Edit: The ID changes when the application is opened.. does someone know why the ID changes? 

#RequireAdmin ; must include when installing

Example()

Func Example()

    Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:TWizardForm]", "", 10) ; use AutoIt v3 Window Info tool
    ; located in the AutoIt folder.

    WinActivate($hWnd) ; WinActivate sets Setup - FreeOCR as an active screen

    ;Notes:
    ;ControlClick("title", "text", controlID[, button = "left"[, clicks = 1[, x[, y]]]])
            ;  title =>> $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:TWizardForm]
            ; "text" =>> "&Next >"
            ; controlID =>> 329210

    ControlClick($hWnd, "&Next >", 329210) ;

EndFunc   ;==>Example

Sadly changing it into Actions or deleting it did not change anything.. :)

I just tried this on the file open dialogue from Notepad++ to cancel the dialogue, and it worked 

test()

Func test()
  ControlClick("Open","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")
EndFunc

So it seems if you have the window name correct, you just need the class and instance.

Have you tried swapping your code around to read: 

#RequireAdmin
adw ()

Func adw ()
  Run("C:\adwcleaner_7.0.5.0.exe","" ,@SW_MAXIMIZE )

  ; Wait 5 seconds for the  window to appear.
  Local $hWnd = WinWait("CLASS:wxWindowNR", "", 5)

  ;Activate Window
  WinActivate ($hWnd)

  ControlClick($hWnd,"","CLASS:Button; TEXT:Scan; INSTANCE:4","","","","")
EndFunc

I'm wondering if the winactivate is activating that application. Can u place a folder on top of the application, run the script and see if it's pushing the folder behind it? 

  Local $hWnd = WinWait("CLASS:wxWindowNR", "", 5)

  ;Activate Window
  WinActivate ($hWnd)

Hi,

its not pushing the folder behind.

Does that mean WinActivate is not working? :)

Have you put in some error checking to confirm $hWnd is getting to set and is the window you think it is? e.g. msgbox yourself the title of that window from the handle.

I did not work with msgbox before, how can i link it to the handle? :)  

MsgBox ( 0, "error", "?" , timeout = 0 , CLASS:wxWindowNR )

should it be like that? :)

Bingo! I would possibly look at troubleshooting with the winactivate function and once it works I would imagine the control click should be a walk in the park ;).

 

1) Winactivate - Set the Application Window above the folder. 

ActiveWindow()


Func ActiveWindow()
    $hWnd1 = WinGetHandle("[CLASS: PUT CLASS ID HERE ]")
    If IsHWnd($hWnd1) Then
        WinActivate($hWnd1)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>ActiveWindow

2) Once the application is activated and it's above every window a controlclick to press the btn should work.

ControlClick

Sends a mouse click command to a given control.

ControlClick ( "title", "text", controlID [, button = "left" [, clicks = 1 [, x [, y]]]] )

Parameters

title The title/hWnd/class of the window to access. See Title special definition.
text The text of the window to access. See Text special definition.
controlID The control to interact with. See Controls.
button [optional] The button to click, "left", "right", "middle", "main", "menu", "primary", "secondary". Default is the left button.
clicks [optional] The number of times to click the mouse. Default is 1.
x [optional] The x position to click within the control. Default is center.
y [optional] The y position to click within the control. Default is center.

I can only suggest you build that into your script, sending msgbox's to yourself as you go, using the same handle for your control sends, so you know the target is there and correct.... and active. Sorry out of ideas after that.

malwarebytes really cheeses me off now. it used to be good, now it sucks all the life out of even the fastest computers... sigh

Hi,

there is no more command line for the newest adwcleaner version :S

Thank you all for your ideas! :)
