JonAnton Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 The script I wrote uses Send( "UP or Down" ) to navigate a pull down on a UI. Every time it gets to that point and sends the Up or Down command it Errors out with an "Unhandled Exception" error. I researched it a bit against the code of the UI. When you manually hit the Up or Down key it returns something different than it does when I use the Send command from the script. Can someone give me a little insight on what might be happening here?

Blue_Drache Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ControlListView() doesn't work for you? That's what a "pull-down" is. It's a list-view. Lofting the cyberwinds on teknoleather wings, I am...The Blue Drache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Wouldn't a pull down be a combobox, and not a listview (generally), and also depend upon what program this "pull down" is in?

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted October 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2012 That's what I was after, it sounds like a third party combo box, but without more detail from the OP it is impossible to say for sure.

JonAnton Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm sorry if I didn't explain it properly. It's not in a combo box created with AutoIT. I am the Change Management Officer on a development team. I am writing scripts to perform regression testing on some of our UI's. This problem occurs on our Login screen. I scripted it to enter in the username/password and then when I choose the environment to test (eg.. Development, Integration... etc) I use up/down arrows to choose from the combo box in our UI. This is where I get the error. This is the code I use to accomplish the login. This will enter the username/password, tab to the first combobox, arrow up to create a starting point, arrow down to choose the environment I want, tab to the next combo box and do the same thing. AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 100) send( "" & $login ) Send( "{Tab}" ) Send( "" & $pwd ) Send( "{Tab}" ) Send( "{Tab}" ) Send( "{Tab}" ) Send( "{UP}" ) WinWaitActive( "Login", "", 200) Send( "{Down} ") Send( "{Tab}" ) Send( "{UP}" ) Send( "{UP}" ) Send( "{UP}" ) Send( "{Down} ") Send( "{Down} ") Send( "{Tab}" ) Send( "{Tab}" ) Send( "{Tab}" ) Send( "{Enter}" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Can you read the handles of the controls you're interacting with using the Au3Info tool? Because if you can read them, you can interact with them using ControlSend and/or ControlCommand instead of the very unstable Send commands. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

JonAnton Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thank You, I haven't worked with Control Commands yet. I will look into them and see what I can do with them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
