Trying to click button but nothing happens

[Blade1 0]

Hi,

I have a wizard-type GUI application and I am trying to automate it. There is a button, of which the details are below, but when I attempt to click it with the code below:

ControlClick("Gendarme", "", "[iD:198304; INSTANCE:2]")

The window's title is Gendarme so all of that is correct.

Nothing happens. Any ideas why?

Details on the specific button are in the screenshot below:

ControlClick("Gendarme", "", "[NAME:next_button]")

Perhaps

Hi,

That didn't work either.

Anyone know the solution?

I am executing on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, is there anything I should change on the OS-level (bare in mind that although UAC is on, this isn't an issue here, obviously).

Thanks!

ControlClick("Gendarme", "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms.10.BUTTON.app.0.2bf8098_r11_ad12; INSTANCE:2]")

etc...

try other ways too, you understand.

That didn't work either? What else can I do?

Still didn't work. Absolutely nothing happens.

try this.

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <winapi.au3>
#Include <GuiButton.au3>
#Include <array.au3>

;~ $winHndl = wingethandle("Gendarme")
;~ ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $winHndl = ' & $winHndl & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
;~ $BtnHndl = ControlGetHandle($winHndl,"","[CLASS:WindowsForms.10.BUTTON.app.0.2bf8098_r11_ad1; INSTANCE:2]")
;~ ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $BtnHndl = ' & $BtnHndl & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
$winHndl = wingethandle("[CLASS:CalcFrame]")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $winHndl = ' & $winHndl & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
$BtnHndl = ControlGetHandle($winHndl,"","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:10]")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $BtnHndl = ' & $BtnHndl & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
_sendclick()

Func _sendclick()
    Local $WM_COMMAND = 0x0111
    Local $lParam = $BtnHndl
    Local $nCtrlID = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetDlgCtrlID", "hwnd", $BtnHndl)
;   _arraydisplay($nCtrlID)
    local $wParam = _WinAPI_MakeLong($nCtrlID[0], $BN_CLICKED)
    $message = _WinAPI_PostMessage($winHndl,$WM_COMMAND,$wParam,$lParam)
    ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $message = ' & $message & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
EndFunc   ;==>_sendclick

Post the console return from SciTe.
