ControlSend not sending text


 Share

Recommended Posts

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.

Well, it MIGHT be a security update by Google. :thumbsup:

Why don't you use _IE functions instead?

 

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.

No i haven't tried it....can you please show me an example of how to use it....thnx

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.
