Select element in Start Menu

[Ayres]

As I make so that the AUTOIT opens the START menu and "click" on an item with definite name (Sample: DESLG98) independent of the position of it in the START menu? Thanks for all !

Not sure why you want to open an item from the start menu, maybe I am missing something.

What is this "DESLG98" you are trying to open ?

It is an archive PIF that restarts the Windows in MSDOS mode and executes a program that only informs that the computer can be off. Use today this resource for computers with Windows 98 that present problems to turn off.

Try

$PifPath = 'EnterPathHere'
Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $PifPath  & '"','',@SW_HIDE)

Already I tried this method, but it does not function. The AUTOIT does not restart the Windows, only execute the file PIF in second plain. However, if I make one click on the archive pif, it I restart as I desire.

Thats odd, it should work, if you must click it then open the start menu via Send keys then use ControlListView to select the proper "PIF" then use {ENTER] from Send to open.

Strapped for time right now got to go, good luck.

I do not know to use the ControlListView function. You have an example I to examine?

Not ControlClick, look at the following Example.

This example will create a test.txt file in the Temp dir, then open the temp dir, select the test.txt file and open it.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
FileWrite(@TempDir & '\test.txt','Hello, this is a test file')
$WinTitle = 'Temp' 
$WinText = ''
$FileName = 'test.txt'
Run('explorer ' & @TempDir)
WinWait($WinTitle)
$NameIndex = ControlListView($WinTitle,$WinText,'SysListView321',"FindItem",$FileName)
If $NameIndex <> -1 Then
    ControlListView($WinTitle,$WinText,'SysListView321',"Select",$NameIndex)
    ControlSend($WinTitle,$WinText,'SysListView321','{ENTER}')
Else
    MsgBox(0,'Not Found',$FileName & ' was not found.')
EndIf

Thanks, my friend. With its last example, more detailed, I obtained to finish the program that was making. He forgives me for my precarious English.
