Programming click of a button does not work

[Jaoe]

Hello guys,

Could you please help me? I am very new to autoit, and been trying to find a solution for a few days and could not find anything.😐

We have a script which connects through SQL Developer and uses "TAB" to switch between fields and writes the values. There was a new version of the product and it looks the same but the buttons are behaving a bit differently. We have a problem with the last field in the picture "Service name".

• Before: Jumped to service name and marked it, tabbed and wrote the service name
• After: Jumps to the grey field and does not write anything (it cant be written when not clicked)

My thoughts:

• I was trying to use the au3info, but cant see anything useful when hovering over the window.
• I was thinking of a mouse click with coordinates, though I read when multiple users use this, it can be mis clicking elsewhere
• I tried to use buttons but they should be visible in the au3info I guess.

I have attached the code that was handling the logic before and the SQL connection window.

Anyone any ideas please?

Thanks a lot.

Can't add much for help, but you could try Control Viewer, it picks up some things AU3 info misses for buttons etc.

in the photo you sent us, I see an underlined letter in each word. E.G. Username,  Password, SID,  Service name, etc.
This means that with alt and U it goes to the Username,  with alt and P it goes to the password,  etc.
Try to find the keyboard navigation logic first,  and then try it with the script

good luck

Thanks @ioa747this really worked perfectly. This way I can shorten the whole script:
so this is how the needed part looks now, if anyone after me would be also curious:
    If (StringLen($TargetSID) = 0) Then
        Send("{TAB}")
        Sleep(100)
        Send("!e")
        Sleep(1000)
        Send("{TAB}")
        Send("{TAB}")
        Send($TargetServiceName)

@donnyh13 thanks for the recommendation, will be sure useful later on.
