Sorry for late answer. Had to stop working on that script and enjoyed vacation. Don't know right now when I am able to cont. work on that script. But I think the control by position shall be helpful. Thanks and regards, No

- App is written in M$ Visual Studio C. (Mentioned in the first post.) - The developper is having no idea at all. Always the same problem. They never think about testing and adding macro and logging feature to their apps. Therefore I am trying to automate some stupid stuff like pressing Start, wait for a certain text, writing value in a list, pressing Stop and repeat and repeat ... The designer was very surprised to get some 100 values the next day! He thought I will be busy the next days to get the data! So far I haven't told too many people about this fantastic tool. But that's off topic, I think! Either I will change the few values after they change manually or I will check out the "ControlID by Position"-solution.

It's an inhouse written application/GUI for an IC-evaluation-kit connected to the LPT-Port. Not available in the wild.

Thanks for fast response! This is an - slightly - modified extract from the script: $A = ControlGetText($WT, "", "WindowsForms10.STATIC.app.0.378734a32" ) $B = ControlGetText($WT, "", "WindowsForms10.STATIC.app.0.378734a31" ) $C = ControlGetText($WT, "", "WindowsForms10.STATIC.app.0.378734a30" ) Already overwritten the code from yesterday, but the change was in the last two digits. E.g. WindowsForms10.STATIC.app.0.378734a29 changed to Win...8734a32 The ClassNameNN seemed to be ok - at least till today - while the ControlID was changing after each start of the app. No rule found so far. Obviously I need to checkout your proposals searching ClassNameNN by position.

Hi, I am quite new to AutoIt. First off all: Congratulations to this great program! Second: I am working on automating a program written with M$ Visual Studio C. In general it is working fine but I got some problems with changing ControlIDs and ClassNameNNs! Yesterday the script was working fine logging the desired data, today - without any change - the logged data contains wrong information. Checked with AU3Info and found out that the ClassNameNNs changed from yesterday to today! Has anybody got the same experience? I wonder how to automate a program using "stealth" technology for its controls? Thanks for any feedback. Best Regards from Germany, No
