ControlClick on button once it is active (previously greyed out)

[timmyc]

Hey all,

I am trying to automate an install of several applications. At the moment i have mousemove and control click commands set on a sleep timer but the time in between clicks may vary depending on what's happening in the background and the PC speed etc

SO...instead of sleep, mousemove then controlclick is there a way to tell it to click on the button only when it becomes active.

For example in an install screen it does its "Calculating space requirements" and when finished the Next button goes from greyed out to active. Thats when i want to click it rather than waiting for the sleep delay.

Thanks

Tim

Take a look at ControlCommand <- help file.

Something like:

Do
Sleep(100)
Until ControlCommand("Run", '', "[TEXT:OK]", "IsEnabled") = 1
ControlClick("Run", "", "[TEXT:OK]")

Just out of curiosity, if ControlCommand works for you to wait for the button to be enabled, why not then use ControlClick as MKISH suggested above? I guarantee you will find it more reliable than a mouseclick.
