Hi,

Though I’ve found posts/threads which are pretty similar to my issue but this is a little different case.

I’ve to automate the process of clicking a button which is present in a HTML page. I couldn’t track down the ‘ControlID’ in the ‘AutoIt v3 Window Info’.

Attached with this post is my HTML source.To brief a little, the HTML page has to be opened automatically and the button(I’m not sure whether it’s a button/image) “Pentaho User Console Login” has to be clicked automatically. I couldn't attach the snapshot of my HTML page due to size limit. I can send you if you are interested. Please drop you mail ID in case if you want to.

Kindly, help me out in this regard. Thanks in advance.

shreeks,

I dunno whether this will do the trick, but have you considered using MouseMove() and MouseClick()?

4Eyes

Hi 4Eyes,

Thanks for your reply. 

send("#r")
WinWaitActive("Run")
send("http://localhost:8080/pentaho{Enter}")
MouseClick("left",788,387,1)
MouseClick("left",648,359,1)

The above code works fine. The script invokes ‘Run’ prompt, types the URL in IE’s address bar and finally the mouse clicks the ‘Log In’ present in the desired (x,y). This code works fine in 17 inch Lenovo monitors. But this code might not be compatible with other monitor sizes. I need to write a code that should be compatible irrespective of monitor sizes? Is there any other way to write a code or accomplish my above said task(Refer the very 1st post of this thread)?

shreeks,

I don't do html, but does the 'button' move in relation to the size of the browser window? If so you're in trouble for the mouse move technique otherwise you should be fine. You can test it simply by changing the rez on your current system. 17" rez is prob 1024x768 or 1280x1024 but will support 800x600.

Seems to me the login button links to "http://localhost:8080/pentaho/Home"

ShellExecute('http://localhost:8080/pentaho/Home');Same as Run.

If this is not the case then you could search for a specific colour in the logo using PixelSearch and use the coordinates as a reference.

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
WinActivate('Pentaho User Console - Login')
WinWaitActive('Pentaho User Console - Login')
$iPos = WinGetPos('Pentaho User Console - Login')
$iPos = PixelSearch($iPos[0], $iPos[1], $iPos[2] + $iPos[0], $iPos[3] + $iPos[1], 0x7E932F, 1)
If Not @error Then MouseMove($iPos[0], $iPos[1])

Hi BitByteBit,

Thanks a lot. It has helped me out immensely. I had to just change the color code which you mentioned to automate the procedure of my interest. Thanks again.

Hi,

Below is the issue that I’m facing now.

PFA snapshot with this post for reference.

The task is to automate the click of “Open” button(Button/Icon? Not sure) (Refer snapshot). I don’t want to capture the (x,y)’s of the button and then automate the click process since it may/may not work with other screen resolutions as well. Secondly, except the ‘ControlClick Coords’ (under ‘Control’ tab in ‘AutoIt v3 Window Info’) nothing gets changed. Likewise, ‘Position’ and ‘Color’ (under ‘Mouse’ tab in ‘AutoIt v3 Window Info’).

Is there any way/procedure to automate the click of “Open” button? Kindly help me with sample code if you have. If you need more details please feel free to contact at shreeks@ymail.com

Thanks. For further reference below is the HTML code of the page in which the “Open” button(Button/Icon? Not sure) is present.
