Firstly, before you even start, you need to know what type of window it is, what type of control holds the text.

You can use the window info tool that comes with autoit installation to find out information, but even a little explanation would help.

you whont use that text, or just to click on it? In my computer if you whont to click on the text where is "Computer" you can press F4 if you whont to add some new text "CTRL + A" > "and type something like %Programfiles%" > if you whont copy use "CTRL + C"

Send ("#e")  
Sleep (2000)  
Send ("{F4} ^a %Programfiles% {ENTER}")

see in the image.

is a program that I use here at home, where this note marked ** Patch **

I want to move the mouse to the word ** patch ** and a click,

But the problem is not always the word patch in the same place, sometimes he changes his position, so I'm trying to find the mouse and that the word **Patch** and click on it.

strange... you can do it using mouse coordenates, but is better doing with controlclick.

the function MouseClick() will do the job, use the AutoIt window info to find the coord where the text is, maybe you can automate to slide the list to the top, to find the text in the same coords everytime.

But i insist that getting the class and using ControlMouse() is more much easier and practical. that using coords.

JohnOne,

Not always necessary to "unfreeze" the Window Info tool - depending on how you work with it. :)

If you use the "Finder Tool", the target icon on the right hand side, the Window Info GUI has focus while you test the controls in another GUI. So you get the Info for any control over which you are hovering the "Finder Tool", but as soon as you release the mouse button, the "Finder Tool" returns to its niche and the Info remains frozen. :D

If you do not use the "Finder Tool", then you must unfreeze the Window Info GUI to use it, but you get continually changing Info as the mouse moves about over the active GUI. So you have to copy the relevant Info onto paper as moving your mouse cursor to do anything else changes the information when it passes over another control. ;)

The more experienced coders seem to utilise the "Finder Tool" and pestered Jon to make the Info Tool "frozen" on start - which he kindly did some time ago. I hope all that makes sense. ;)
