Accept license agreement

[ucmerrill]

Gentlemen,

I'm writing my first Autoit script and have a question. I send Enter key to install a driver, then the next screen that appear is to accept the license agreement.

The dafault is "I DO NOT accept license agreement"(radio button is checked by default)

I need to select the "I accept license agreement" ( radio button is not checked and is above the "I do not accept license agreement" radio button)

I manually tested by tabbing then up on the keyboard wich did not work.

I basically tried every keyboard combination to no avail.

My question is, what steps do I need to take to select the UPPER radio button? or can I assume if it can't be done by keyboard it cannot be done via Autoit code?

ANY help or clarifications will be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

With the AutoIt Window Info Tool (AU3Info), and ControlSend, this can be done.

Hi ucmerrill !

1.Wellcome to the forum !

2.For a fast help, give your script even not finish

3.Try controlcommand "Check", "" Checks radio or check Button

4.Don't forget to activate the window

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the response/Welcome. I'm still not clear what exactly to do. My code is very simple. Line 4 is the issue. It will not allow me to select the radio button. I need to select the "UP" radio button. What steps would you recommend that I take ? Remember I am unable to do it via keyboard. So do think that autoit would have an issue as well? Can someone send me the exact code to select the "UP" radio button.

BlockInput(1)

Run("c:\windows\drivers\T5500\V\2\setup.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Sleep (1000)

Send("{ALTDOWN}{TAB}{ALTUP}") ' I tired tab, alt tab,up arrow and many other keyboard shortcut to accept the license agreement to no avail

Not likely, but you can alsmost certainly do it with ControlCommand() as wakillon suggested.

The parameters needed for ControlCommand() can be retrieved with the au3info tool as somdcomputerguy suggested.

The tool can be found in the tools menu from scite if you installed the scite4autoit package. If you didn't install scite4autoit, I believe you can find the au3info tool in the AutoIt installation directory.

Does the Accept radio button have any characters in its text that are underlined when you press the ALT key? Normally that might be something like this "I Accept the license agreement". If it does, does pressing Alt + A select that radio button? Then the Next or Ok button can be pressed by sending the ALT + <whatever key> to "press" that key as well.

Send("{ALTDOWN}{TAB}{ALTUP}") ' I tired tab, alt tab,up arrow and many other keyboard shortcut to accept the license agreement to no avail

Did you try this?

Send("!{TAB}")

Personal opinion: When it comes to "license agreement's" windows ... all bets are off. Assuming they should act as any other normal windows is logical, but prone to being wrong.

Can you post a link to where the file can be obtained. I would like to test your issue

[ucmerrill]

Hi All,

Here is my code. For some reason its not accepting the license agreement.

;BlockInput(1)

Run("C:\windows\Drivers\T5500\V\3\Setup.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

WinWaitActive("Barco Product Installation Wizard")

Send("{Enter}")

Sleep (20000)

WinWaitActive("Barco Product Installation Wizard")

Send("!{TAB}") ; DOES NOT ACCEPT THE UPPER RADIO BUTTON

WinWaitActive("Barco Product Installation Wizard")

Send("{Enter}")

;BlockInput(0)

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Send("!{TAB}")

Hi, Thanks for the response. I did try Send("!{TAB}") which also did not work.

if nothing working then maybe you can get the position of current window using WinGetPos() and then use MouseClick() for clicking the Radio button.

i have no idea about the GUI which you are working on, you just posted a screen shot.

Please post a direct link to drivers which your are trying to install automatically using AutoIt.

Send the tab and then Send("{SPACE}").

The better method is still to use the window info tool and get the control Id's and work with those instead of the simple Send()function.

click, click and click, it's nice but not sure !

Why not try silent parameters ?

In googleling i have found quickly that Barco use often the same switche !

Try

RunWait ( @ScriptDir & '\Setup.exe -silent' )

and send feedback...

Silent installs have become somewhat treacherous. I used them all the time untill the fools started including a bunch of toolbars etc. that are installed by default. Unless I amm 100% certain that those will never be used in the installer, I won't use silent installs any longer.

Hi Thanks for the response and the time to even look up the switch. I did try setup.exe -silent but to no avail.

Different installers use different switches. If you know what the installer is then you can look up the switch for a silent install.

Try these as well

/s

/q

and don't forget to try

setup /s/v/qn

Install CMEnu

It get you a right contextual menu "Identify Installer" who can help you to determin switches !
