I have googled for this and found only questions no answers. In 2010, I raised the same issue and it was mentioned as not supported. Looks like it is not supported now also😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can with PowerBuilder manipulate PowerBuilder ?. For what they show in their page, looks like a well rounded product. Why would you need AutoIt interacting with it ? They have their own UI/UX of PowerBuilder apps. AutoIt can use win32 controls, but custom made controls, is unlikely. Unless They implemented UIAutomation for their controls, all you have left is behavioral. In the sense of using keyboard and mouse coordinates based on your known interaction. What are you after ?. Maybe you can talk to the developer and have a feature added. Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ). FAQ - Please Read Before Posting.

We would need AutoIt for automating our Test cases for Regression or System Testing. To our knowledge, powerbuilder does not offer any testing tool. Will get in touch with the Appeon team and get their inputs on the usage of custom controls and UIAutomation for those. Thanks for the suggestions. argumentum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
