WindowInfo - control ID

[Earthshine]

please insert code between code tags <>

like so

;~ *** Standard code maintainable ***
#include "UIAWrappers.au3"
AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)

_UIA_setVar("oP1","Title:=Innovaya Studio;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.1e84ccb_r16_ad1")    ;Innovaya Studio
_UIA_setVar("oP2","Title:=panelMRF;controltype:=UIA_PaneControlTypeId;class:=WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.1e84ccb_r16_ad1")    ;panelMRF
_UIA_setVar("oP3","Title:=panelOpenExit;controltype:=UIA_PaneControlTypeId;class:=WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.1e84ccb_r16_ad1")    ;panelOpenExit

_UIA_setVar("Open.mainwindow","title:=Open;classname:=WindowsForms10.Window.b.app.0.1e84ccb_r16_ad1")

;~ Actions split away from logical/technical definition above can come from configfiles 

;~_UIA_Action("oP1","highlight")
_UIA_Action("oP1","setfocus")
;~_UIA_Action("oP2","highlight")
_UIA_Action("oP2","setfocus")
;~_UIA_Action("oP3","highlight")
_UIA_Action("oP3","setfocus")

_UIA_action("Open.mainwindow","setfocus")

see if that code sets focus on the element you care about. Once you get your setVar right you can use a variety of Actions on it. Look at the functions in the UIAWrappers.au3 for methods you can use to get/set text and whatnot.

Thanks.  Are you saying to insert this code in my original script?  And then if it sets the focus on the element to  use functions in UIAWrappers? 

I probably need to understand/learn more about what simplyspy is doing.

Just use that code in a test file and run it. Tell us what happens 

[JNutt]

Whats the purpose of the <> tags?  If I wrap the code in '<>' I get an error. 

If i run the code without '<>' the only thing that happens is a red box is around the Scite editor.  The output pane shows this:

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\autoit3\other.au3"    
  deep find in subtree oP1;Desktop
  deep find in subtree oP2;Desktop
  deep find in subtree oP3;Desktop

When I run the code nothing happens.  I assume if it worked the button I was after would hightlight?

When I use simplyspy.au3I on different buttons (one app) I get same exact info.  Can simplyspy give me details about a specific button?

It gets every element it can see. It should have setFocus in it. Uncomment out the highlight action and see if it highlights

I really appreciate your help Earthshine. 

When I run it the code the different options will hightlighte the Scite editor and part of the taskbar, but not the app I want it to.  Should the Output panel show me anthing?  Below is the what I see in the output:

you don't need to quote all our posts mate. we know what we've said. so, you run simplespy.au3, then, go clickk on the app you care about. THEN press CTRL-W keys and the code should go right to the simplespy... example I just captured VMware

;~ *** Standard code Flexible***
#include "UIAWrappers.au3"
AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Local $oP1=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($UIA_oDesktop, "Title:=2008r2 - VMware Workstation;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=VMUIFrame", $treescope_children)  
_UIA_Action($oP1,"setfocus")
Local $oP0=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP1, "Title:=;controltype:=UIA_PaneControlTypeId;class:=vmware.fullScreenToolbar", $treescope_children) 
_UIA_Action($oP0,"setfocus")
_UIA_setVar("vmFullScreenUnibar.mainwindow","title:=vmFullScreenUnibar;classname:=wui.unibar.Bar")
_UIA_action("vmFullScreenUnibar.mainwindow","setfocus")

so run simplespy, then click on your app, bring it to front and focus, then press the CTRL-W keys together to capture your code. then, in the UIAWrappers.au3 you can see all the things you can do with the _UIA_Action method including 'getValue' 'setValue' (several of those, different types) and 'click'

Thanks.  I get the code from simplyspy,  but when I put it in an editor, uncomment out the different _UIA_Action highlight and run it it never highlights the button I'm trying to click. 

Also, I'm a little confused.  When I look at the first line I see info about the Open button I want to click.  but the _UIA_Actions for oP1-oP3 are for the parent page. 

My original issue is that if I run the script I get the first line to run which starts the app, but the next line doesn't run (which is code to click a button).  But if I first start the app manually, without the 'Run' command to start app, and then run controlclick I works with no issues.

 

Heres the code form simplyspy:

<Having the following values for all properties:
Title is: <Open>    Class   := <WindowsForms10.Window.b.app.0.1e84ccb_r16_ad1>    controltype:= <UIA_ButtonControlTypeId>    ,<50000>    , (0000C350)    9;65;131;63

Here is the script I'm trying to run:

<

AutoItSetOption('MouseCoordMode', 0)
AutoItSetOption('SendKeyDelay', 10)

;Start Innovaya Studio
Run("c:\Program Files\Innovaya\R4\inv5d.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

WinWaitActive('Innovaya Studio')
ControlClick('Innovaya Studio', '', "[NAME:butOpenInv]")

[Bilgus]

There is probably another window that has the name prior to it being fully started what about adding a Sleep(10000)  between run and winwait?

 

[JNutt]

That was it!  There was a splash screen.

Side note.  The autoIT forum has been great and the help docs also, but its hard to get an abstract understanding of whats going on.  I have no windows programming knowledge.  Its hard to get a mental picture of whats going on.

Anyway, Thanks for the help!
