AutoIt for C# application - menustrip and tabs

[kannank]

Hello,

I've been trying to a automate a custom developed C# application using the class info using "AutoIt V3 window information" and spy++ tools.

"MouseClick()" works fine although i am looking for object (com) based control. I've been able to send click events to command button and textboxes

ControlClick("sapp", "", $buttonclass)

in the C# application i am unable to talk to "menuStrip"

WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.378734a

and tabs

WindowsForms10.SysTabControl32.app.0.378734a

. However similar code works for windows calculator and AutoIt generated tabs(_GUICtrlTab_ClickTab.au3)

For starters i dont mind working with hardcoded classIDs...

I have gone through many forum posts and they tend to say that only "standard windows controls" work well.

Has anyone had any luck in controlling objects (file menu, tabs, sliders, comboboxes, checkboxes, picturebox) created using .net3.5 VS2008 C#?

thanks

will this even be possible ? or are there any other approaches to object based control?
