help with menu select and button click -controlclick unreliable

[nandy12]

Hi, I have seen earlier posts about controlclick being unreliable but did not get a good way to make the following work: I need to select a menu item on another app and then click a button.

I am using send and controlclick but if a new window comes up shifting the input focus the button click fails. I thought it was sending a message based on the window handle and hence it should not have such problems?

How do I ensure it works reliably? code below:

Send("!o")

Send("a")

Sleep(500)

ControlClick("MobiApp","","[TEXT:Done]")

tks,

nan

Hi, nany12, welcome to the forum. It will go a long way to helping us help you if you can provide a little more information. I'm assuming you're trying to automate MobiApp, but can you please provide a screenshot of the menu and item you're trying to click on? Off the top of my head without being able to see the window or menu, I would suggest taking a look at the WinMenuSelectItem function in the help file.
