Healian,

Use something like this to get the handle of the combo:

$hApp = WinGetHandle("App_Title")
$hComboHandle = ControlGetHandle($hApp, "", "[CLASS:Combo_Class;INSTANCE:Combo_Instance]") ; Get the CLASS and INSTANCE values with the Window Info tool

And then use the _GUICtrlCombo_* commands to do what you will with the combo. Something along these lines should work:

; Select the item
_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hCntl, 5) ; Use the index of the item you want to select
; Tell Windows you have selected something
$iCode = BitShift($CBN_SELCHANGE, -16)
_SendMessage($hApp, $WM_COMMAND, $iCode, $hCombo)

Have fun!

Healian,

First, use the 'AutoIt Window Info Tool' aka 'Au3Info.exe' to find the control you wish to automate.

Then use ControlCommand() with command "SelectString", 'string' to automate the control.

If you have any further questions feel free to post here again, however make sure you include information on the control that you find with 'AutoIt Window Info Tool', and what code you have so far, or atleast an example of it.

thank you for replaying i will try and report you

@Melba23 - Does _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel() work on apps outside of your script? I always assumed that would only work on your own scripts.

[Healian]

i am trying to use control command becouse i did not understand the first way but control command does not work

i made like this

ControlCommand ("Program title like it in the info","","SelectString", 'the item which i want')

but i have not found text for the listbox i choose in the info

[Melba23]

Realm,

The GUICtrl* (without a leading underscore) commands only work on AutoIt native controls - those created with the GUICtrlCreate* commands.

But the UDF commands (with a leading underscore) should work on any control of the related type - as long as they were created with the the standard Windows API. After all the controls created by the UDF are standard Windows controls - which is why the return values are handles and not ControlIDs.

I have often used the various UDF functions to interact with external apps - in fact many of the Help file examples do just that, look at _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenu for instance!

Healian,

First, in the 'Window Info Tool' and on the bottom is an EditBox with tabs, click the 'Control' Tab, and replace this information:

Title is found in the 'Basic Window Info'

Leave 'SelectString' as it is.

ControlCommand('Title','','ClassnameNN',"SelectString", 'The text of the selection you wish to choose')

If you are still having problems, then repost with a paste of the information you find with the 'Window Info Tool'

Edit:

@Melba - Thanks, I never knew it. *scratching chin* That gives me some ideas

melba i am trying with your way but i typed instead of "5" in instance like this

$insnum = inputbox ("enter number","enter number")

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hCntl, $insnum)

but it says variable used without being declared

and tried to remove $insum and added the instnce and again variable used without being declared

$hApp = WinGetHandle("title of the window")
$hComboHandle = ControlGetHandle($hApp, "", "[CLASS:ThunderRT6ComboBox;INSTANCE:3]") ; Get the CLASS and INSTANCE values with the Window Info tool
; Select the item
_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hCntl,28) ; Use the index of the item you want to select

[Healian]

realm it still does not select what i want

[Melba23]

Healian,

What variable is not declared? Please post all the code you are using.

[Healian]

$servernum = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "server", 4, "")
If $servernum = "" Then
    $servernum = inputbox ("Enter your server number","Enter your server number (A list with server numbers is included")
endif
    IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "server", 4, $servernum)
run ("program")
$hApp = WinGetHandle("PROGRAM TITLE")
$hComboHandle = ControlGetHandle($hApp, "", "[CLASS:ThunderRT6ComboBox;INSTANCE:3]") ; Get the CLASS and INSTANCE values with the Window Info tool
; Select the item
_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hCntl,28) ; Use the index of the item you want to select
; Tell Windows you have selected something
$iCode = BitShift($CBN_SELCHANGE, -16)
_SendMessage($hApp, $WM_COMMAND, $iCode, $hCombo)

AND IT SAYS VARIABLE USED WITHOUT BEING DECLARED

I can see this vaiable was never defined (at least in what you posted)

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hCntl <---

*edit*

and if it were me, I would put the iniwrite before the endif so it only writes to the ini if there wasn't a previous value.

As it stands, it reads the value, then writes it back in.

Healian,

AND IT SAYS VARIABLE USED WITHOUT BEING DECLARED

Do you remember what Jos said here? Please stop shouting.

There are a whole bunch of things which are not declared in that script. I should have been clearer in my earlier post but I gave you credit for knowing a little about AutoIt - it seems I was mistaken.

So let us take them one by one:

$hCntl and $hCombo - You need to use $hComboHandle here.

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel and $CBN_SELCHANGE - Put #Include <GuiComboBox.au3> at the top of your script - you need that to run the function and it will give you the message value as well.

$WM_COMMAND - Put #Include <WindowsConstants.au3> at the top of your script - that include file will give you this variable.

_SendMessage() - Put #Include <SendMessage.au3> at the top of your script - that include file will give you this function.

So your code should read:

#Include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>
#Include <SendMessage.au3>

$servernum = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "server", 4, "")
If $servernum = "" Then
    $servernum = InputBox("Enter your server number", "Enter your server number (A list with server numbers is included")
EndIf

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "server", 4, $servernum)

Run("program")

$hApp = WinGetHandle("PROGRAM TITLE")
$hComboHandle = ControlGetHandle($hApp, "", "[CLASS:ThunderRT6ComboBox;INSTANCE:3]") ; Get the CLASS and INSTANCE values with the Window Info tool
; Select the item
_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hComboHandle, 28) ; Use the index of the item you want to select
; Tell Windows you have selected something
$iCode = BitShift($CBN_SELCHANGE, -16)
_SendMessage($hApp, $WM_COMMAND, $iCode, $hComboHandle)

When I syntax check that, I get no errors.

Now I would very strongly suggest that before you do any more coding, you learn a bit more about how Autoit is structured - things like #include files, for example.

Reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.

I know you want to start coding NOW, but a little study will save you (and us ) a lot of trouble later on, believe me.

what do you mean by shouting i am not understand

[Melba23]

Healian,

THIS IS SHOUTING and it is considered rude, which is why Jos asked you not to do it.
