Another WinMenuSelectItem issue.

[Carlo84]

Hey all,

1st of all i running Vista x64

secondly:

From the helpfile:

; This will select File, Page Setup in notepad
WinMenuSelectItem("[CLASS:Notepad] ", "", "&File", "Page Set&up..." )

This does not work...

either way i got my function to work but it has strange conditions and i need a solution for them.

For SketchUp 6 Pro my code is this:

$i = WinMenuSelectItem("Untitled - SketchUp Pro", "", "&File", "&Export", "3D Model...")
Exit($i)

---

Scenario #1.

I open SketchUp, i run the script nothing will happen..

Scenario #2.

I open SketchUp, i unfold the menu and select, File > Export and close the menu again..

From this point on my script will always work

---

It is as if the menu's items either change name after i open the menu or they simply do not exist till i open them menu?

Same thing with Notepad too and the Autoit example.

Is there anyway to fix this?

typical, to find the answer right after i made a topic

They do indeed change, this fixed it though

#include <GuiMenu.au3>
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("Untitled - SketchUp Pro")
$hMain = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenu($hWnd)
$hFile = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemSubMenu($hMain, 0)
$hExport = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemID($hFile, 10)

$file = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($hMain, 0)
$export = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($hFile, 10)
$Model = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($hExport, 0)
WinMenuSelectItem($hWnd, "", $file, $export, $Model)

Writing it to console showed it changed.

WinMenuSelectItem("Untitled - SketchUp Pro", "", "&File", "&Export", "&3D Model...")
WinMenuSelectItem("Untitled - SketchUp Pro", "", "&File", "&Export", "3D Model...")
