gamerman2360 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I can't figure out controls. Can someone answer a few questions I have? 1. Is it possible to locate(x, y) a Java app? The control I'm trying to use has no Control ID and a ClassNameNN of "SunAwtCanvas2". 2. If I'm trying to get autoit to use a control, do I have to specify if I'm giving it an ID, ClassName, or something else? 3. Do Control IDs alwas stay the same? Like my address bar is "Control ID: 41477" "ClassNameNN: Edit2" More questions to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My address bar is not "Edit2" for the ClassNameNN.from the help file:Note: AutoIt only works with standard Microsoft controls ..........but give it a try [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerman2360 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Q1 comment: How could I do something like that? Toolbars are alwas throwing off where places are on the screen. Q2 comment: Cool! Q3 comment: Would it stay the same if there were no updates? Mine (address bar) seems to have stayed the same from yesturday. Also when you say "AutoIt only works with standard Microsoft controls ..........", what would that include/exclude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it will not be fast, so if this is for a game, it might not work. If the area that you want to click on stays about the same color when you are ready to click, then search the forum for PixelChecksum.This is a very brief description of how I would use PixelChecksum for this:you define a small "area" around the part that you want to click onwrite that into a small test script...along with a msgbox to tell you the value returned by the functionPixelCoordMode$value = PixelChecksum $X,$Y,$X+20,$Y+20MsgBox $value ;;;; for example, $value = 121212run the test script and you will know the "value" that the main script is to "look for"in the main script:write a loop that "scapes" a small portion of the screenWinTitleMatchMode;;code to move and resize window (WinMove);code to turn off toolbars (for IE, alt-v and more);For $X = 145 to 200 ;defines the left to right area to scrapeFor $Y = 122 to 144 ;defines the top to bottom area to scrapeIf 121212 = PixelChecksum $X,$Y,$X+20,$Y+20 ThenMouseClick $X+10,$Y+10ExitLoop 2EndIfNextNextCaveat to the steps and pseudo-code above - I've never had to code something like this, if you need more details then perhaps others can post their code or correct my method described above.A2 - yes, the AutoIt authors are greatA3 - I'm not sure how to tell what is a standard control and what is not... but since the controls sometimes work on non-standard controls - just experiment.hope this helps [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerman2360 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Cool, I've only done pixel searches before so this should be interesting. Im wondering how the autoit window info program gets its infomation. How does it get the control's location as soon as you have your curser over it? Is it possible to do with autoit?

I would post these questions to the chat area and see what you get from those that developed "The Magic that is AutoIt".
