click button in framed applet

fishweasel · December 17, 2010

Hi,

Apologies if this kind of query has been answered somewhere else. I have spent 2 days searching and googling with different ways to do this.

I have a small script that logs onto a web service on a fuel pump controller and activates a trace (logging facility)

I can successfully navigate, login and send required parameters. At this stage a small java applet is generated (cgi) within a frame. This applet has the start button.

Autoit Window Info can select this button and shows it as a control.

I however am unable to activate it whatever way i try.

I have tried to drill down into the frame and getobjbyname, directly access the control etc.

Using mouse coords is not really an option as this script would be used on machines with different resolutions.

My next thought was to use PixelSearch but i would only wish to search within the frame (havent been able to figure out the best way to do this.)

My script so far ( the commented lines at the bottom are what remains of some of my recent attempts to find and click this button):

; Script Start
#include <IE.au3>
#include <_ConfigIO.au3>

; variables - need to come from config file when confirmed to work

$user = "admin"
$pass = "password"

$doms_ip = "172.16.16.25"
$doms_port="peep4=on&peep11=on" ; this is the checkbox number from peep select page source 
$incext="incext=on"
$fromzero="fromzero=on"
$MaxKbSize="maxsize=5000"
$PeepDirectory="filename=C:\PeepTrace\PeepLog"

; open browser to doms ip

$oIE = _IECreate("http://" & $doms_ip & "/peep.cgi?" & $doms_port &"&" & $incext & "&" & $fromzero & "&" & $MaxKbSize & "&" & $PeepDirectory, 0, 1, 0, 0)
Sleep (2000)

$login = WinWaitActive("[TITLE:Connect to]","",3)

While WinActive($login)
ControlFocus($login, "", "Edit2")
ControlSend($login, "", "Edit2", $user)
Sleep (1000)
ControlFocus($login, "", "Edit3")
ControlSend($login, "", "Edit3", $pass)
Sleep (1000)
ControlClick($login, "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:OK]")
WEnd

_IELoadWait ($oIE)

; allow time for java applet to load
Sleep (8000)

; Click Start button


;$oHWnd = WinGetHandle ( "[CLASS:IEFrame]" )

;ControlClick($oIE, "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Start]")

;$oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, "peep1.cgi")
;$oButton = _IEGetObjByName($oFrame, "startpeep")
;_IEAction($oButton, "click")

The html is understandably limited :

<HTML>
<FRAMESET rows="330,*">
  <FRAME src=peep1.cgi scrolling="no">
  <FRAME src=peepfrm2.htm>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

I have managed to get some code from applet :

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body rightmargin=0 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0>
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td class=hdr>
<big><big>Peeper</big></big>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width=100% height=95%>
<tr><td class=tdmain align=center>Do not close the browser window, before pressing the Stop button</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center>
<APPLET code=ftp.class height=210 width=400 id=ftp archive=ftp.jar alt="Peep Applet Loading ...">
<param name=maxfilesize value=5000>
<param name=incext value=true>
<param name=startfromzero value=true>
<param name=localfile value="C:\PeepTrace\PeepLog">
<param name=servertimeout value=10000>
<param name=ipaddr value=172.16.16.25>
<param name=startpeep value="strtpeep.cgi">
<param name=stoppeep value="stoppeep.cgi">
<param name=getpeepheader value="getpeeph.cgi">
<param name=getpeepdata value="getpeepd.cgi">
<param name=delpeepdata value="delpeepd.cgi">
<param name=maxblocksize value="65536">
<param name=test value=FALSE>
<param name=cabbase value="ftp.cab">
</APPLET>
</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Finally, here are the WindowInfo details :

What confuses me is that WindowInfo can see the button and even the text 'start' , but i cannot seem to directly interact with it.

I cannot use the controls handle either as it changes each time it is generated.

Would i be able to pass the parameter param name=startpeep value="strtpeep.cgi" ?

Any assistance with my dilema is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Interesting that AutoItWinInfo can see the button... that would lead me to believe taht the button is now a Java button, but rather an Wind32 button. I'd have to see it to get any better idea.

Regarding the applet parameters, you can actually change their values via the DOM, but what you ask about passing looks like the same value you provide in the code... would that really help?

Thanks for the reply Dale.

It turns out the answer was quite simple (arent the hardest ones to find always simple ?)

; Click Start button

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, 0 )
$handle = ControlGetHandle($oFrame, "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

ControlClick($handle, "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

Unfortunately, your code doesn't make sense. My guess is that the only line that does anything useful is the last one and it is just acting on the currently active window because $handle contains a blank string. Your first line would make sense with _IEFrameGetCollection and would return a DOM Window object. DOM Window objects are not valid with ControlGetHandle, so the pair of functions don't go together.

I think if you used the third line all by itself it would work the same.
