MouseClick not working with run as administrator application - (Moved)

[VanessaWen]

Hi experts!

I am still a newbie in AUTOIT. I intend to automate a 15 mins burn in test application to test on industrial PC. The application is limited to 15 mins due to free evaluation mode. 

Problem: Mouseclick is unable to function in this application. However, when I test it on Notepad, it works. I believe it is due to "run as administrator " limitation. I tried implementing the RunAs command, however the error says "unknown function name".

Could somebody kindly help to point out what has gone wrong?

Below is the script I used. 

expandcollapse popup

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
Dim $ChipRunFileName


AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode",1)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)

;$maincycles = 3
$trailingchipnumber = 0

; Change the username and password to the appropriate values for your system.
Local $sUserName = "Chewy"
Local $sPassword = "12345678"

; Run Notepad with the window maximized. Notepad is run under the user previously specified.
Local $iPID = RunAs($sUserName, Chewy, $sPassword, $RUN_LOGON_PROFILE, "bit.exe")

RunTestCycle(100)


Func RunTestCycle($noOfTimes)

    For $i = 1 to $noOfTimes Step 1

        Sleep(4000)

        MouseClick("left",771,10)

        Sleep(1000)

        ;click Go
        MouseClick("left",40,135)


          Sleep(1000)

        ;wait 15.5 mins
        Sleep(930000)

        ; Click save
        MouseClick("left",1398,93)

        ; select text box
        MouseClick("left", 854, 353)

        ControlSetText ( "Save results report", "", 1000, "")

         ; select text box
        MouseClick("left", 854, 353)

        ;put manual barcode
        $trailingchipnumber = $trailingchipnumber + 1
        Send("D:\Programs\BurnInTest\BurnInTestLog" & $trailingchipnumber)
        MouseClick("left", 839, 406)     ; select log
        Sleep(1000)

        ; select Save
        MouseClick("left", 688, 502)

        Sleep(1000)

        ; select Reset
        MouseClick("left", 52, 129)

        Sleep(1000)

        ; select OK
        MouseClick("left", 765, 494)

        Sleep(1000)

    Next

    ; Quit Application
    MouseClick("left",1514,16)

    Sleep(1000)

    ProcessClose($iPID)


EndFunc

VanessaWen,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums. I have moved your thread to the appropriate forum.

When you post code in future please use Code tags - see here how to do it.  Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Make sure you run the script with the same credentials at the same level as the shelled program or else it will be hard to automate that shelled script.
Normally added @requireAdmin at the top will do the job as your script is then (re)shelled as Administrator after you clicked the UAC prompt.

Hi Jos,

Hmm, it is not I am looking for. What I meant is, the BurnInTest Application is run with administrator right. The Autoit script mouse click is not working with BurnInTest app. 

 

requireAdmin is meant for allowing only administrator to run the script right? 

I dont need administrator right to run the script, but letting the script to have the administrator right to run the BurnInTest.

No ....  it will force the script to be run with Administration rights...  Maybe reread my previous post which does explain why I proposed it?
