ControlSend not sending text

[vm2007]

Hi All,

Help required!!!!

I was using an autoit script without issues for handling login window on Chrome. But since Chrome updated to 2.29 the login window has changed and my script has stopped working. I made changes to the script but function ControlSend is now not sending the text.

The script is as follows:

sleep(10000)
WinWait("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]","","20")
ControlSend("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1; Title:abc | Post - Google Chrome]", "", "[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0; INSTANCE:1]", "username{TAB}")
ControlSend("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1; Title:abc | Post - Google Chrome]", "", "[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0; INSTANCE:1]", "password{Enter}")

 

In the above script the TAB and Enter work but the text is not typed. 

 

The earlier window (old version of Chrome) used to have different instance number for the 2 text box but the new one refers to both as Instance:1. Not sure whether this is the problem or not.

Hi,

Please use autoit tags to post your code

Well, it MIGHT be a security update by Google.

Why don't you use _IE functions instead?

[FireFox]

Instead of "[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]", try :

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
 
WinWait(" - Google Chrome", "", 20)

Actually i am pretty new to AutoIT.... can you please shed some light as to how i will achieve what i have mentioned using IE functions??

 

Another thing that i want to point out is that text gets entered when i use 'Send' instead of ControlSend but i have read that we should avoid using 'Send' if window is not active.

vm2007,

Never used controlsend before but it seems like the control class should be comming from here (from Spy)

Advanced (Class): [CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0; INSTANCE:1]

Have you tried ControlSetText for sending text? I have having issues with ControlSend for text until I used ControlSetText.

Here is what I am using to enter my solution data into my Heat ticket that I have saved from a listbox. I've added some comments to explain what I did. Hope this helps!

$Solution = GUICtrlRead($Desc, MouseGetPos(0) & ", " & MouseGetPos(1)) ;Used to select the item in my listbox
    ClipPut($Solution) ;copies the data
    ControlSetText("Call Logging - Work Group", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:3]", $Solution)

;here we have the command ControlSetText.
;I want to select the title of the window I have open which is Call Logging - Work Group.
;Then the text which is just ""
;Next is the class and instance
;Then finally the data from $Solution which is pulled from my listbox.

;All of this information is found with the AutoIt Window Info tool.
