Identifying Windows Application Control and editing them

[NathanMaha]

I'm trying to automate some entry form using a windows application Something like this

I see that each text box is identified using some id, using the Finder Tool.

But I do not know how to reference them in script.

 

For e.g. I want to set the Patient ID text field as "ABCD" ... and like that for all the text boxes in that window

I tried to record using recorder. But all of them are mouse co-ordinates and it didn't really work well when I played.

 

Is there a way to identify all the objects and edit them using script in AutoIT.

 

I'm new to this UI automation.

Check out the AutoIt Window Information Tool. You can use it to get the Control ID of each control as well as various other information.

You can then use ControlGetHandle to get the handle of each control.

Then use ControlSetText to set the text of the control.
