Noob trouble with CtrlClick

[bo8ster]

Use moving through the thread and though the following code I posted in another thread may help. One of the ways list should be able to get you what you need.

If not ... I can find some of the functions SmOke_N has created to address this. Also post the output of the summary section of the autoit tool into a code box.

You will need to change the values with your own

expandcollapse popup

Opt("WinTextMatchMode", 1) ; you may want to try this set to 2 as well. This is the default
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ; help file explains this, look up opt or AutoItSetOption
AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)
AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 1)

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>


Func whichMsgBox()
    Local $appHandle = ""
    Local $controlHandle = ""

    ; get the window handle

    If $appHandle = "" Then
        $appHandle = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE")
    ElseIf $appHandle = "" Then
        $appHandle = WinGetHandle("classname=Afx:00400000:8:00010003:00000000:067C070D", "")
    ElseIf $appHandle = "" Then
        MouseMove(356, 14, 0) ; releates to the mouse output in your post.
        Local $h_wfp = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "WindowFromPoint", "long", MouseGetPos(0), "long", MouseGetPos(1))
        $appHandle = _WinAPI_GetAncestor($appHandle, $GA_ROOT)
    ElseIf $appHandle = "" Then
        Local $aWinList = WinList("AxCent", "")
        If $aWinList[0][0] > 0 Then ; it found something
            _ArrayDisplay($aWinList) ; see how may there are. If this does not work remove the "AxCent" param from WinList
            $appHandle = $aWinList[1][1] ; need to something like this to get the window handle.
        EndIf
    ElseIf $appHandle = "" Then
        ConsoleWrite("Error: could not get the window handle" & @CR & @extended)
        Exit
    EndIf

    ; get the control handle

    If $controlHandle = "" Then
        $controlHandle = ControlGetHandle($appHandle, "", "[ID:65535]")
    ElseIf $controlHandle = "" Then
        $controlHandle = ControlGetHandle($appHandle, "", "[CLASS:Static; INSTANCE:2]")
    ElseIf $controlHandle = "" Then
        $controlHandle = ControlGetHandle($appHandle, "", "[X:65 Y:26]")
    ElseIf $controlHandle = "" Then
        Local $nInstance, $sLastClass, $sComposite
        Local $sList = WinGetClassList($appHandle) ; list of every class in the Window
        Local $aList = StringSplit(StringTrimRight($sList, 1), @LF, 2)
        _ArraySort($aList) ; improves speed
        _ArrayDisplay($aList) ; static class should be in there. If its not the $appHandle may not correct
        ConsoleWrite("Error: could not get the control handle" & @CR & @extended)
        Exit
    EndIf

    ; when you get the control you can get the text from it.

    Local $string = ControlGetText($controlHandle, "", "") ; add your code here but using ControlClick

   
EndFunc   ;==>whichMsgBox

Hmmm, how is that different from just using controlclick() with the handle obtained through AUtoit Info?

It seems this just looks for the handle, unless I'm missing something.

[bo8ster]

You are correct. It is just some different ways to get the handle. Once you have the handle you can use any other control function with ease.

Hi just noticed this topic had a second page.

bo8ster your post has confused me a little, i'm still not past 'noob' stage as far as autoit is concerned. I will however try out your idea and see if it will work =) i do hope it works Lol!
