Need help to get a button properties

[Akshay07]

Hi all,

I am (once again) asking for some help!

I would like to get the properties of a button for a program. I want to detect when it is available and then simulate a click on this button.

One person (sorry, I don't remember the name) helped me out a few weeks ago to get the various parameter of various existing windows using this script:

#include <WinAPI.au3>
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $aWindows, $i, $text
    $aWindows = _WinAPI_EnumWindows()
    For $i = 1 To UBound($aWindows) - 1
        $text = "Window Handle: " & $aWindows[$i][0] & @LF
        $text &= "Window Class: " & $aWindows[$i][1] & @LF
        $text &= "Window Title: " & WinGetTitle($aWindows[$i][0]) & @LF
        $text &= "Window Text: " & WinGetText($aWindows[$i][0]) & @LF
        $text &= "Window Process: " & WinGetProcess($aWindows[$i][0])
        MsgBox(0, "Item " & $i & " of " & UBound($aWindows) - 1, $text)
    Next
EndFunc

This small script helped me a lot and I thank again the person who indicates it to me.

But is it possible to get the properties of a button by just clicking on it? The program I am using (trying to automate) is quite complicated, and I can't figure out which window is what when I run the script mentioned previously.

Why not just use the AutoIT Window Info Tool? It will give a GUI representation of all window names / info inside the window.
