tjwilli58 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi,I'm trying to use AutoIt to control the GUI for the AcqKnowledge software from BIOPAC systems. I could do this in AcqKnowledge 3.8.1, but the new version (4.2) seems to be hiding all of the controls. When I use the AutoIt info tool, all I get now is the window title and the cursor location.I can call Send to toggle acquistion (ctrl-space), but I used to be able to check the status of some of the controls for other things I need to do.Any tips on how to control the apparently non-Microsoft controls?(from the AutoIt help)Note: AutoIt only works with standard Microsoft controls - some applications write their own custom controls which may look like a standard MS control but may resist automation. Experiment! Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjwilli58 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Very little progress on controlling AcqKnowledge 4.2 with AutoIt. I can use MouseClick to select menu items, and with this I can do most of what I need to get done except for checking the status of the Start button. In v3.8.1, I could just check the Enabled status of one of the buttons, but these controls aren't available anymore. I have found that the Start button can be dragged out of the main window, and then AutoIt can get the handle of this new window, but still no controls, and I can still only get the window title and text. I can't find a way to query this to see if the system is running or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
