Gilby Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hello all,I am developing a script for which I need to be able to interact with a PropertyGrid control. The control also appears to have nested edit controls, though I'm not sure about this.As an example of what I mean by "PropertyGrid" control, here's a screenshot that looks just like the interface I need to deal with (this isn't the same one I'm working with):I need to be able to do things like see if there are any properties that are editable, find them by name / index, edit the properties, etc (this is for automation of an internal company application). I can't figure out how to do this and I've tried everything I know. I tried reading about COM objects and stuff but that's starting to go over my head.(I don't have any specific code snippets to share since I really haven't even found the right place to start with this.)Thank you!

Moderators Melba23 Posted March 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2013 poorvajain,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. I suggest you use the AutoIt Window Info tool ("M:ProgramAutoIt3Au3Info.exe" if you did a standard install) and post the results you get when you look at the internal "edits" of the control. We might then be able to suggest some things that you can try - but if the overall control is custom-built and does not use the standard API then your options are likely to be very limited.

poorvajain Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I used AutoiT Window Info Tool. I am developing script of Standard Property Grid. Property grid is as same as Visual studio use... For each entity, there is vertical property grid which has several properties and each property is editable. I need to interact with them....

Moderators Melba23 Posted March 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2013 poorvajain,So post the results that you got in the "Control" tab of the Info tool and we will try and help. Without that data we can do nothing as we have no idea what parameters to use in the various commands that might prove useful.

Moderators Melba23 Posted March 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2013 poorvajain,Try something like this to see if you can get the existing text from within one of the editable controls:$sText = ControlGetText($sWin_Title, "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.3b95145; INSTANCE:26]")Set $sWin_Title to the value you see in the "Basic Window Info" section of the tool and adjust the controlID value to match the data returned from the specific control you are using.Do you get the correct text returned?

Moderators Melba23 Posted March 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) poorvajain, Then it looks as if you cannot interact with the control. M23 Edit: But some more searching has thrown up this thread with its suggestion of using: Opt("WinSearchChildren", 1) perhaps it might help.

Moderators Melba23 Posted March 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2013 poorvajain, Then I am afraid that you will have to wait to see if anyone else can provide a clue as I have no more ideas.
