ControlClick button by text ?

[kali999]

Hi,

I'm confused, i want to click button by the text, but my button have very long name "Verify the system structure and fix problems" how can i use controlclick too hit it ? i have code :

While 1
$next = ControlClick("[TITLE:Recovery Manager]", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:10]")
If $next = "Verify the system structure and fix problems" Then ExitLoop
Sleep(4000)
WEnd

But it doesn't work Is there any possibility to use shorter text like "Verify~" ?

use Autoit Window Info Tool to get the Control Id of the Button

and then use it for controlclick

Edit: BTW the function returns a boolean value [not the value of the button]

Yeah i know that i can use ID's but i would like to operate on TEXT, another problem is that when i use more than one While loop script works only for first one, when it going to ::next button it doesn't recognize or just freezing i don't know , any ideas? I just want to my script recognize text in buttons and go to the next position which is almost the same.

::yes Button
While 1
$text = ControlClick("[TITLE:testing app]", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:4]")
If $text = "No" Then ExitLoop
Sleep(2000)
Wend
ControlClick("[TITLE:testing app]", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:4]", "left")
Sleep(2000)

::Next Button
While 1
$text = ControlClick("[TITLE:testing app]", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:6]")
If $text = "Next" Then ExitLoop
Sleep(2000)
Wend
ControlClick("[TITLE:testing app]", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:6]", "left")
Sleep(2000)

kali999,

Is there any possibility to use shorter text

Try using Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2). I know it works for window titles - so I imagine it might work for other controls as well. Please let us know how you get on.

from what I understand ControlClick() is the function that performs the clicking action so the only value for your $text variable would be success or failure (0 or 1)

Yeah but the text compare works fine, what i see i have problem with clicking, i have tried many possibilities but it's not problem with text but with button, it's suppose to click button when it find but it clicking without any reaction, something like click the button with mouse and before releasing left button you move mouse from button area. Any clue ? I don't want to use mouseclick ;S Thanks to support
