AUTOITNovice Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi, I'm new to AutoIT and I;m trying to automate a Win32 application which has ribbons. I can't find the ControlID for the ribbon so I tried to use hotkeys to overcome this problem but I'm also stuck here. 1. Does anyone know how I can find the controlID for a ribbon menu and how I can press one of the buttons on that menu using AutoIT? 2. Alternatively, does anyone know how I can send keystrokes to the ribbon as I've tried ControlSend and Send functions but without success. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTOITNovice Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 If you are refering to MicroSoft I find the shortcut key by pressing the Alt key.Yes its a Microsoft application. I know what the shortcut key is but for some reason when I try to use it in ControlSend and Send functions I get no response from the application.
