Newbie - Buttons and Edit

[JJJAuto]

I'm very new to Autoit and the samples are just showing Notepad and Wordpad. 

I'm trying to do some automation and would be grateful if somebody could show me the way. 

I'm trying to use Autoit to automate a software, Basically I need to enter

1. Enter a Start Page NO

2. Enter a end page number

3. Click on DOWNLOAD button,

4. Wait 60 seconds

5.  increment the start number by 10 and then click "DOWNLOAD" again until a specific number, say Page 180. 

THANKS !!

$title = "VitalSource Downloader"
$start = 10
$end = 19

While 1
    If $end > 180 Then ExitLoop
    ControlSetText($title, "", "TEdit3", $start)
    ControlSetText($title, "", "TEdit1", $end)
    ControlClick($title, "", "TButton1")
    Sleep(60000)
    $start += 10
    $end += 10
WEnd

Thanks !! That works great !! 

The sleep was a bit of a hit and miss as I misunderstood how the app timeout works.  It still seems to works even when the button was not seen, so that's a bit surprising. 

I'm assuming that's because the Tbutton has a ClassnameNN of Tbutton2 when it's "Pause" and Tbutton3 when it's Resume, so only when it's download that it's seem as "Tbutton1" ? Does that means that it wouldn't click until it Tbutton appear ? 

Once again, THANKS !! This is very helpful

Look at ControlCommand() + IsVisible/IsEnabled
