Recommended Posts

Hi, I have a software which has a 'run file'-ie; when i double click on that file, the input file of the software is run by the software. I wish to double click/execute this run file using autoit. how do i achieve this. i opened the software and it shows the input file and run file in same folder, i will put my autoitscript file too in same location. how do i simulate double clicking the run file (using its file name, say - abc.run ). I entered the following lines to make software window active - it became active, dont know how to go forward

Winactivate("program title")

winwaitactivate("program title")

controlclick("program title","abc.run",1000,"primary",2) ; 1000 is ctrl id

@rkr dog ate your help file? Look at Run in the help file if you just need to run the application, or ShellExecute if you need to run it with parameters.
