ControlSend help

[Jury]

With the window info at the bottom of this message why can't I get ControlSend to work? As you can see I've tried various things such as WinActivate, ControlClick, etc. There seem to be many options for addressing the Window Controls I'm confused.

;WinActivate("Is it on BAILII?; CLASS:AutoIt v3 GUI; INSTANCE:1", "")
;ControlFocus("Is it on BAILII?","Type/Paste citation here", "Edit1")

ControlSend("Is it on BAILII?", "Type/Paste citation here", "Edit1", "[2010] EWMC 222 (FPC)")

;ControlClick("Is it on BAILII?", "", "[ID:3]")

Try this:

WinWait("Is it on BAILII?", "Type/Paste citation here")
ControlSetText("Is it on BAILII?", "Type/Paste citation here", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "[2010] EWMC 222 (FPC)")

or

WinWait("Is it on BAILII?", "Type/Paste citation here")
ControlSend("Is it on BAILII?", "Type/Paste citation here", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "[2010] EWMC 222 (FPC)")

If its not working you could try play with WinTitleMatchMode, for example you could put at the begining of the script this line:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

Here is my simple working ControlSend line

Func _Send($text)
$hwnd = WinGetHandle("SomeWindowName")
$window = "SomeWindowName"
    ControlSend($window, "", $hwnd, $text)
EndFunc

ofc it is working

and i preffer to use _MouseClickPlus by Insolence, not ControlClick

Thanks all - good ideas but I found my main problem was that there was a space before my window title.. sigh

Now instead of filling in the window with [2010] EWMC 222 (FPC) I get [2010] EwMC 222 (FPc) why would that be?

ControlSend(" Is it on BAILII?", "", "Edit1", "[2010] EWMC 222 (FPC)")

[Sobiech]

$hwnd = WinGetHandle("Is it on BAILII?")
$window = "Is it on BAILII?"
    ControlSend($window, "", $hwnd, "Your text")

btw you have sensless SPACE BAR in window name (" <SPACE>Is Its... bablblalbla

mY CODE should work, try IT

$hwnd = WinGetHandle("Is it on BAILII?")
$window = "Is it on BAILII?"
    ControlSend($window, "", $hwnd, "Your text")

This works (added the space at the start of the title):

ControlSetText(" Is it on BAILII?", "", "Edit1","",1 )
ControlSend(" Is it on BAILII?", "", "Edit1", "[2010] EWMC 22 (FPC)")
Sleep (1000)
ControlClick(" Is it on BAILII?", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:See; INSTANCE:1]")

but this doesn't:

$hwnd = WinGetHandle(" Is it on BAILII?")
$window = " Is it on BAILII?"
ControlSend($window, "", $hwnd, "[2010] EWMC 22 (FPC)")

can't see why not & I'd like to use your function so I'll keep at it.

Thanks,

because you are trying to insert text in $hwnd - inside GUI, but not EditBox. Normaly if i use $hwnd, i use it like that:

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("GUI Name")
ControlSend($hWnd, "Some text inside gui", "[Some Place to enter]", "[2010] EWMC 22 (FPC)")

Your misstake is that you try to insert text to GUI ($hwnd in wrong place), not to editbox.
