ControlClick doesn't work

[Trevons]

Hello
I have a question. The ControlClick command does not work for me. If it is used, nothing happens. Could someone help me?

ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "", "[Class:Button;Instance:1]")

 

[Zedna]

Try to add WinActivate() and/or ControlFocus() before ControlClick()

[Trevons]

I did add WinActive() but it still doesn't work

 

WinActivate("Installer Language","Please select a language.")
ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "", "[Class:Button;Instance:1]")

What is the application ?  Show a runable script, so we can test it on our side.  Unless someone is a diviner, debugging a single line of code is kind of impossible.

[Trevons]

the script should install a program automatically, mouse movements and clicks should happen automatically

Did you read my reply ?  Post all your code and tell us what is the application your are trying to automate !

this should press the first button from an installation

Please use this tool when you post code.

You can do a silent install of Notepad++ by using /S.  See other switches for a complete run command.

Now I have another problem.
I have three buttons and I have to press the one in the middle but it doesn't work

#RequireAdmin


ShellExecute("C:\Users\Mitarbeiter\Desktop\AutoIT\npp.7.8.9.Installer.x64.exe")
WinWait("Installer Language","Please select a language.")
WinActivate("Installer Language","Please select a language.")
ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "", "[Class:Button;Instance:1]")
WinWait("Installation von Notepad++ v7.8.9","Willkommen beim ")
WinActivate("Installation von Notepad++ v7.8.9","Willkommen beim ")
ControlClick("Installation von Notepad++ v7.8.9","Willkommen beim ", "&Weiter >", "left")
WinWait("Installation von Notepad++ v7.8.9","Lizenzabkommen ")
WinActivate("Installation von Notepad++ v7.8.9","Lizenzabkommen ")
ControlClick("Installation von Notepad++ v7.8.9","Willkommen beim ", "&Annehmen", "middle")
WinWait("Installation von Notepad++ v7.8.9","Zielverzeichnis auswählen ")

"middle" is a mouse button, not a setup button

ControlClick("Installation von Notepad++ v7.8.9", "Willkommen beim ", "&Annehmen")

ok thank you

[Trevons]

I removed it but it still doesn't work

you have to wait for stuff to actually happen. you should wait to do the control click until the control is actually in memory and available

you should just do as advised and silent install it using a command line, super easy to implement and more reliable as well.

I also advise to use the command line option, as already suggested by @Nine and @Earthshine .

/S for Silent Install

/D= for the desired installation directory

Example :  npp.7.8.9.Installer.x64.exe /S /D=%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\

Unfortunately I could not find a switch for the language selection (if this switch exists at all). It seems that the local setting is used automatically.

[Earthshine]

if you MUST do it manually, I will have to look at the Notepad++ installer, which one you installing? I have a handy little udf for waiting dynamically for the control to be actually loaded and ready to respond. it's made for automating installers.

lol, use the information tool

the control you want to manipulate is a COMBO BOX

[CLASS:ComboBox; INSTANCE:1]

 

not the way you are trying to use it, it's a combo box, not a button. unless you need to select a different language you would just press the OK button. the installer sets your language to your local anyway as mentioned above.

[Class:Button;Instance:1]
