AutoIT v3 click image that acts as button

[jwil]

i am trying to click a button in the showmypc application (showmypc.com), called "show my pc now"

i am trying to click on a button but based off the window info from autoIT, it looks like its a picture box. i have tried using mouse click and control click with no luck. i read a few posts about using IE.au3 with image click functionality but got the impression that only works with I.E.

for mouse click i moved the window to certain x, y and used window info to get button coords. tried using mouse click with coords and did not work, no response / error.

used control click like below and still no go, no response / error

ControlClick("ShowMyPC Collaboration 3152 ","","ThunderRT6PictureBoxDC4", "left")

ControlClick("ShowMyPC Collaboration 3152 ","","[CLASS:ThunderRT6PictureBoxDC; INSTANCE:4]", "left")

here is the info from window info finder

Something like this will tell you what's up (debugging)...send back the output...

#include <Array.au3>
$aWin = WinList("[CLASS:ThunderRT6FormDC]")
ConsoleWrite("Total windows found=[" & UBound($aWin) & "]." & @CRLF)
For $i = 1 To UBound($aWin)-1
 ConsoleWrite("Click window #=[" & $i & "]; hwnd=[" & $aWin[$i][1] & "]; title=[" & $aWin[$i][0] & "]")
 If Not WinActivate($aWin[$i][1]) Then
  ConsoleWrite("...can't activate current window." & @CRLF)
  ContinueLoop
 EndIf
 $hControl = ControlGetHandle($aWin[$i][1], "", 6)
 If Not IsHWnd($hControl) Then
  ConsoleWrite("...can't find control." & @CRLF)
  ContinueLoop  
 EndIf
 
 If Not ControlFocus($aWin[$i][1], "", $hControl) Then
  ConsoleWrite("...can't focus on control." & @CRLF)
  ContinueLoop  
 EndIf
 
 If Not ControlClick($aWin[$i][1], "", $hControl) Then
  ConsoleWrite("...can't click control." & @CRLF)
  ContinueLoop  
 EndIf
 
 ConsoleWrite("...clicked control." & @CRLF)
Next

also, i generally like to verify the states of the window and controls, prior to performing actions...look in the helpfile to get those.

[jdelaney]

did this itteration in the loop click the control as expected?

Click window #=[2]; hwnd=[0x001D10C0]; title=[showMyPC Collaboration 3152]...clicked control.

[jwil]

the code executed fine without errors, but nothing happened with the application in regards to a "mouse click" event happening.

Its a Java application look for Java Accessibility. I certainly doubt if someone has bridged the Java Accessbility into AutoIT. If you can turn on Java runtime accessibility (i really donot know if thats possible) you should be able to use microsoft accessiblity in combination with the Java accessibility bridge tooling (see oracle documentation)
