Clicking subcontrols within a control

[SRD]

Hi. I'm trying to use ControlClick to select a saved session in Putty.

The control ID is 1052, and this refers to the entire area where you can load, save or delete a saved session:

I want to click on Nagios. I've tried specifying the coordinates of the click:

ControlClick ("PuTTY Configuration", "", 1052, "left", 1, 32, 80);

but this doesn't work.

What do I need to do? Thanks.

Edit your script so it controlclicks on 'Load', or controlsends alt-l maybe.., then inputs 'Nagios' in whatever dialog comes next.

In Putty, I have to click on Nagios first. I can double click on it without needing to click on Load.

Well apparently that's not working for you, I was just suggesting a 'workaround', or another way to do something.

Thanks for your help. Can you think why it would not work? Why wouldn't the coordinate click work?

Hmm, try the ControlCommand function. Good luck.

I'm guessing there is a invisible control covering all the controls in the "Load, save or delete a stored sessions" group. (perhaps group controls do this themselves)

The control that you want to click looks like it could be a ListBox.

Use this script to try and get all the controls within the window. That way you can look for a control that is most likely the one you want to click and send the ControlClick to that one, or use ControlCommand on it.

#Include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <array.au3>

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("PuTTY")
If Not $hWnd Then 
    ConsoleWrite("Putty Window not found" & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf
$aControls = _WinAPI_EnumWindows(True, $hWnd)
_ArrayDisplay($aControls)

You could also blindly try to use "[CLASSNN:ListBox1]"

Hit 'alt-e'. How many 'tabs' must be hit before 'Nagios' is selected/highlighted? This may be another 'workaround' with controlsend..
