I can WinActivate osk but I cannot ControlClick on it

[inna]

Hi, I'm not sure what's wrong with my code or it's related to Windows's changes like UDF that I cannot ControlClick on a Windows Native app.

This is my code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
$i = 0
While $i <= 10
    $i = $i + 1
    Local $key = '[Title:On-Screen Keyboard]'
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    Local $key = WinWait('[Title:On-Screen Keyboard]', '', 1)
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    Local $title = '[CLASSNN:DirectUIHWND1]'
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    WinActivate($key)
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    ControlClick($key,'', $title, 'left', 1, 1109, 240) ; Right Shift ControlClick Coords for window size 1390, 320
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    WinMove($key, '', 800, 100, 400, 400, 100)
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    Run("C:\windows\system32\osk.exe")
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:OSKMainClass]")
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    Sleep(1000)
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    WinActivate("[CLASS:OSKMainClass]")
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    WinWait("[CLASS:OSKMainClass]", '', 5)
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:OSKMainClass]")
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
    WinMove($hWnd, "", 563, 387, 1000, 400)
    ConsoleWrite('The value of i is ' & $i & @LF)
    $i = $i + 1
WEnd

Part of my code is from this topic, but does not work for me (not unexpected, but does not work at all).

I put a While loop only to see how it goes and what it does.

This is the console:

The value of i is 1
The value of i is 2
The value of i is 3
The value of i is 4
The value of i is 5
The value of i is 6
The value of i is 7
The value of i is 8
The value of i is 9
The value of i is 10
The value of i is 11
The value of i is 12
The value of i is 13
The value of i is 14
+>20:50:05 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:0
+>20:50:05 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished.
>Exit code: 0    Time: 20.15

I am trying different ways to run osk, but with Run it does not, but if I run it manually it focuses to that window. But I cannot click on any position of its controls.

The reason of using osk is I'm trying to test something in a Windows Remote Desktop after closing the session, so that there's no input of my laptop connected to RDP (like mouse and keyboard).

Do you please help me?

Add #RequireAdmin at the beginning so that the script runs as Administrator, OSK seems to be a privileged process so a non-admin process can't interact with it.

Thanks a lot:) It's using ControlClick finally on it:)
