ControlClick

[Noviceatthis]

Hello all

I saw this script in another topic and one part confused me slightly

Send("#r")
Sleep(1000)
$hHandle = WinGetHandle("Run")
MsgBox(64, "Window Handle", 'Now this will click the "Cancel" button using >> WinGetHandle("' & $hHandle & '")')
ControlClick($hHandle, "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:3]")

in the last line, (i'm assuming the the $hHandle is the title) how are you meant to determine the instance number, especially when applied to a GUI with a lot of buttons.

Apologies if this is a stupid question

I tend to use the AutoIT Window Info tool that comes with AutoIT to do this, it is on the control tab once you drag the target over the required control, not sure if there is any other way though

ah I see, yeh just tried it, thank you DOTCOMmunications

[Noviceatthis]

one more quick question, is there any way to use the mousemove function to jump to the stated instance, just for visual effect

*ah, just figured it out, thanks again
