Menu item wont get checked.

[iahngy]

my app at work has a menu of File, edit, view ....

i try to go to view, and enable on an item " auto scroll when run" ..but i wont do anything....I test the func on notepad it works...

is there any way around to check on the submenu's item ? it can read the text but it cant check on the item.... at work it wont let me click on the autoit button to post code.

$hWnd = WinGetHandle($title1)

$hMain = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenu($hWnd)

$x = _GUICtrlMenu_FindItem($hMain, "View")

$hView = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemSubMenu($hMain, $x)

$t = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($hView, 9)

ConsoleWrite("status: " &_GUICtrlMenu_GetItemChecked($hView, 9) &@crlf) ;status shows 0

_GUICtrlMenu_SetItemChecked($hView, 9)

ConsoleWrite("status: " &_GUICtrlMenu_GetItemChecked($hView, 9) &@crlf) ; status shows 1 but the item is not checked

Hey,

It may not be a "clean" way to do it, but usually when I have trouble interacting with external applications controls, I simply use keyboard shortcuts.

Is your work app accepting them?

Maybe:

send("{!v}")
send("{DOWN}")
send("{SPACE}"}

Thnks Neutro. it works with alt v but not with space to check...but i can send down 9 times then enter....but sometimes the apps open with a check there and sometimes it doesnt .

This " auto scroll when run" setting value must be written somewhere on your computer. Maybe in an .ini file, maybe in the registry.

Did you try to find it?

I asked the test owner...he doesnt set any of the app...how can i check if that item is checked or not using registry?
