how can i open exe and click one button when minimized[suggestion]

[atanik]

Hello, My name is Adnan.  I am trying to do some small program for helping my process. i have one exe file. and inside of this exe file there is a button which is download some date from server. But program has no automatically bringing data. so i should click every minute or less then minute. When i am researching i meet with autoit. it is really great and user interface. 

But i want some specially things which need to work when minimized. so no need to see any data and program. cos when i clicked update data it is taking some data and saving in harddisk folder. i am using these data from another programs.  Finallay i want program work at minimized and clicked to just one button. 

Is that easy to do that? if it is very easy can anoyone help me with this topics. 

Note: i need to "verileri yükle" button (verileri yükle=update data)

Regards,

Adnan

@atanik welcome to the forum. Please see this post, which has suggestions on requesting help, and the information we need. A couple of things, if we are to help you:

• Please ensure you have a detailed description. You state "I have one exe" - is this a compiled script of your own, or a third party tool? Is it a exe that is commonly available so those trying to help you can troubleshoot?
• Also, you attached a .jpg that is not coming through in your post. Please fix so those trying to assist can see what you're seeing.

Well since you just want a controlclick it will be easy for you. 

You need to do that after a keystroke or after a delay ? 

Give me the logic you want and i ll give you all needed command so you will have to read without search

[atanik]

thank you @caramen yes i will wait around 40-50 second. sometimes i will need to delay time. But for me most importnat thing is work in minimized. 

otherwise MSDownloader.exe window becomes active and not allow to do anything. even i can not type.. i hope i explain well. 

[caramen]

You mean you can only click ? 

[atanik]

all these for i dont want to click every 50-60 second  that button. i want to program click for me each 50-60 seconds when minimized position.

[caramen]

Ok watch this:

WinGetState ;This one is optional for you and this script

ControlClick ; Not optional

AdlibRegister ; Optional but best for you

Sleep ; Optional

It would probably take you less time to try it for yourself than it did to post the question.

Step by step mate

Try to make it work, first.

Then after you try multiple things.

Minimise and check if it worked too. Move window, or try to make it bug. By anyway you can try. But not all at same time.

And also if you make a code and post it here with questions. We will be able to help you a lot more.

 

And show you diferent way to do what you did.
