Recommended Posts

I'm trying to automate some excel processing. With autoit I open several Excel with an add-in. This add-in is used to update data in this excel.

In autoit I managed to open the excel files with the add-in but now I need to select the menuitem to update the excel automatically. I don't have any clue howto do this in autoit3.

I can't find any tutorials or manual howto do this.

Please have a look at function "WinMenuSelectItem" in the help file.

Maybe that's what you need.

Tried this one but as stated in the help file it does'nt always work...

For the moment I just used the Send command. But this only works if the excel menu items are always on the same place....

It doesnt record mouse positions when you click on the standard menus. Did you try it?

This is a small example:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'

'
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
    Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False
End Sub

When I use the macrogenerator it just spits out a lot of mouse position things.
