Controlsend and ControlClick doesnt work

[JonnyBr]

Hi all,

I am just trying to open a software (a small window titled "Welcome") and click in a button or send a "Shift+r", but this is not working..

I've send ControlSend("+r") in Notepad, and this is working, but not working in the "Welcome window"..

I tried ControlSend and ControlClick and nothing is working..

I've attached the code here..

 

Sorry, I'm new in programming.. What am I doing wrong ?

Am I forget something ?

 

Thanks,

For the run button, why not this?

WinActivate('Welcome')
ControlClick('Welcome', '', 1)

is this like a brute force approach?

How is this helpful to a person who begins by admitting he is new to scripting? How about providing alternatives for the OP, or simply letting others do so if you are not of a mind to help.

ok, 

so how about just waiting until the form is active and sending an CTRL-r. Either CTRL or ALT, one or the other that activates it. can;t check right now

WaitWinActive("Welcome")
Send("^r")

No, its not a brutal force approach.

Ive just writted all this code to show you that no alternative worked..

I really thought that ControlClick or ControlSend should works, but its not.. Thats why I came to the forum asked if I am forgetting something..

Take a look below again...

Ah, WinActivate ("Welcome") is working.  But nothing can click on "Run" button yet..  =/

Huh, i have that program, and the code i posted was tested, and it worked here.

I can't figure out why it wouldn't work there.

Any antivirus that may be blocking the script?

Really weird
