Problem in using ControlClick

[Khalifa]

Dear All,

I'm writing my first AtuoIt script, and i got a problem with using ControlClick function,

That is my script :

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Vodafone\Vodafone Mobile Connect\Bin\MobileConnect.exe")

WinWaitActive("Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite", "VirtualBox Host-Only Network")

ControlClick("Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite","VirtualBox Host-Only Network","[Class:Button; Text:SMS; Instance:12;]")

WinWaitActive("SMS", " Inbox")

And that is AutoIt v3 Windows Info tool :

I changed the script to the following, and nothing happened as well

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Vodafone\Vodafone Mobile Connect\Bin\MobileConnect.exe")

WinWaitActive("Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite", "VirtualBox Host-Only Network")

ControlClick("Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite","VirtualBox Host-Only Network","[Class:WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.232467a; Text:SMS; Instance:12;]")

WinWaitActive("SMS", " Inbox")

I even tried to Run the tutorial script of Simple Notepad, but the command Send("!n")

doesn't even work, i tried to use the flag #requireadmin, But nothing can help out,

Do you think that there is a problem in my windows 7 permissions, or what ?, who no control commands work ?

Your script seems fine until you get to the ControlClick command, you haven't defined the button to click with and i'm pretty sure that why it wont work for ya.

But there's a lot of ways to fix your problem, one see if the button you want to press has a hotkey if it dose just Send the window the key. Or you can use the MouseClick command, yeah its not as nice but by using it in combination with WinSetState and @SW_MAXIMIZE like this:

WinSetState ("Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
MouseClick ("left" {insert coords})

Since the window will always maximize when the scrip runs, the button you need to click will always be in the same place.

As long as you don't try to run this on a machine with a different screen resolution or other UI settings.

So waht do you think is the problem with that command,

ControlClick("Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite","VirtualBox Host-Only Network","[Class:WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.232467a; Text:SMS; Instance:12;]")

since the control id is variable, i used the class name, text, and instance number to define the buttom, so what do you think else is missing ?

what information is still missing for the command to work
