Can't use variables in ControlClick() func

[InsaneArturo]

Hello

I have a problem using variables in ControlClick()

I want to read some info from ini file and then use it in ControlClick() but it doesn't click the button.

It works perfect when I use pure text.

Example:

ControlClick("Some title", "window text or button text", controlid)

this doesn't work:

ControlClick($var1, $var2, $var3)

Please help me

Hi, welcome to the forum.

That should work using variables , maybe your variables dont contain what you think they do check by outputing them in a message box, compare them to a string you think you should be getting something like this.

$var1 = "Some title"
$var2 = "window text or button text"
$var3 = "controlid"
MsgBox(0, "", "Some title" & "-" & "window text or button text" & "-" & "controlid" & @CR & _
       $var1 & "-" & $var2 & "-" & $var3)

Hi, thank you for your fast answer.

I tried that. Data in variable and string look the same, but somehow they're not the same, cause it doesn't work with variables.

$Step = IniReadSection ( "filename.ini", "Step 0")
$Title = $Step[1][1] ;I method
$Control = $Step[2][1]
$Id = $Step[3][1]
;$Title = IniRead("filename.ini", "Step 0", "Title", 0) ;II method
;$Control = IniRead("filename.ini", "Step 0", "Control", 0)
;$Id = IniRead("filename.ini", "Step 0", "Id", 0)
;$Title = "'window title'" ; III method
;$Control = "'Dalej >'"
;$Id = 1
MsgBox(0, "dfbfdb", string($Title) & $Control & $Id & @CRLF & "'window title''Dalej >'1")
ControlClick ( $Title, $Control, $Id )

Non of those 3 methodes work

I can understand that there can be a problem with string in variable but why this doesn't work?

$ctrl = ControlClick ( "window title", "Dalej >", $Id )
MsgBox(0,"sdg",$ctrl)

where $Id=1 as it should be

Maybe there's a diffrent way to click a button? (i don't want to use cords)

I can't edit above post

Ok I found solution on this threat http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113055&st=0&p=791507&hl=controlclick%20variables&fromsearch=1&#entry791507

It works perfect with this code:

$Step = IniReadSection ( "filename.ini", "Step 0")
$Title = $Step[1][1]
$Control = $Step[2][1]
$Id = $Step[3][1]
$Id = Number ( $Id )
ControlClick(""&$Title&"", ""&$Control&"", $Id)

So my problem is solved

Thanks for your help Yoriz!
