How can I find and click on the checkbox?

[LibiO]

Hello!

I need to find and click the checkbox, which is located at:

Control Panel -> Windows Update - > Select Updates to install:

then, there are many updates there (with their checkboxes)

Picture is attached.

I want to choose a specific one, and to mark it on its checkbox.

How can I click on any checkbox? AutoIt Window Info does not see it as a control.

Thanks!!!

Try to use IE UDF.

Try to use IE UDF.

That wouldn't work because the screen shot shows the control panel, not IE.

This may work (sending CTRL-A to select all):

send ("^a")

But I cannot test it right now. If that doesn't work, I think setting the focus to the first item and sending a space and then a down arrow would most definitely do the trick.

If the script is just for you, you could use cordinates to click the "check all checkboxes"-checkbox.

@sleepydvdr: Space+Down works

Edit:

Forgot to add this:

HotKeySet("^m","test")
HotKeySet("^n","runner")

Func test()
Global $handle
$handle = WinGetHandle("Velg oppdateringer som skal installeres"); Window title in norweigan
MsgBox(0,"",$handle);Just to see that i got the correct handle
ControlFocus($handle,"", "[CLASS:WuDuiListView; INSTANCE:1]");Sets the focus

EndFunc

Func runner()
    Send("{Space}")
    Send("{Down}")
EndFunc

While 1
    Sleep (40)
WEnd

Problem with the Space+down thing is if the check box is checked it will uncheck it.

I am a noob and i dont know the most, but shouldnt there be anything that can get that checkbox as a variable so someone can write Click ($checkbox)... ?
