"IsChecked" not working

[thanhlam]

Hi, I try to use AutoIt to control a soft I have written in C# 4.0.
I can start, stop the software, change the state of the checkbox.

• Something strange to uncheck the check box:
  

  ; check the checkbox (working fine)
  ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox, "Check", "")
  
  ; uncheck the checkbox (NOT WORKING)
  ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox, "UnCheck", ""
  
  ; uncheck the checkbox (working)
  ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox, "Check", "")

• Unfortunately I did not managed to get the check box status using :
  

  $res = ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox, "IsChecked", "")​

How can I add a 7z with the content of the script and a test program in C#4.0 to illustrate my post ?

This might doesn't help, but do you notice that you lack a ")" at the end of non-working checkbox line?

Hi,

thanks for replying but this is only a copy/paste error, that's why I wanted to attach an archive with my sample but I did not find how to upload the archive.

You can attach a file using the full editor.

Hi Saudumm,

Could you be more specific in how to attach the file ? I trye to use "My media" but it propose only to select content that have been uploaded. I found no way to upload a file

In the full editor there's "Attach Files" under the editor window. There you can select a file from your computer (1) and upload it (2). After that you can attach it to your post (3) :-)

Thanks for your help Saudumm,

but even in the full editor, just under the textbox I immediately have the "Add Reply, Preview Post or Cancel" line.

There is nothing in between that would allow me to attach a file (sorry I cannot attach a screenshot to show you  )

There must be a setting somewhere that prevent me from adding files (I just created my account today).

Regards

There's probably a new user post count that must be met to allow files to be uploaded. You should post all of your au3 code to get better help.

Maybe this option isn't available for new members. This is my 8. post but I'm registered since 2011  and I'm a normal member.

Could you upload your file to Dropbox or something else and share the link?

Here is the link to the visual studio project in C# and the test.au3

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fqy75h0qdbou3et/test.7z

Here is the code of test.au3.

$path = "WindowsFormsApplication1WindowsFormsApplication1binDebug"

$bin = "WindowsFormsApplication1.exe"

$soft = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.2bf8098_r20_ad1]"

$checkbox = "[NAME:cbTest]"

$checkbox2 = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.2bf8098_r20_ad1; INSTANCE:1]"

 

Run($path & $bin, $path)

$win = WinWaitActive($soft)

 

; "Uncheck" is not working, have to "Check" a 2nd time to uncheck...

ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox, "Check", "")

Sleep(500)

ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox, "Check", "")

Sleep(500)

ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox, "Check", "")

Sleep(500)

$res = ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox, "IsChecked", "")

if 1 = @error Then

   MsgBox(4, "ERROR", "ERROR")

Else

   MsgBox(4, "IsChecked", $res)

EndIf

 

; Using class

ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox2, "Check", "") ; uncheck

Sleep(500)

ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox2, "Check", "") ; recheck

Sleep(500)

$res = ControlCommand($win, "", $checkbox2, "IsChecked", "")

if 1 = @error Then

   MsgBox(4, "ERROR", "ERROR")

Else

   MsgBox(4, "IsChecked", $res)

EndIf

 

WinClose($soft)

So, no luck on my end with your script.

I found those threads:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

It seems like your .Net-Checkbox is a non-standard checkbox and is not supported by AutoIt.

Maybe somenone with more knowledge can help you.

It is good thing that you have control over your own .NET application. My advice is this:

- Open your C# project, in the Form select your checkbox, click on the thunder icon (events icon), and double click on the event for "KeyDown"
- Then in your C# code make sure you add this code:
 

private void cbTest_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F8)
    {
        cbTest.Checked = true;
    }
    else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F12)
    {
        cbTest.Checked = false;
    }
}

- Then make sure you use this in your autoit script:
 

$path = "WindowsFormsApplication1\WindowsFormsApplication1\bin\Debug\"
$bin = "WindowsFormsApplication1.exe"
$soft = "Form1"
$checkbox = "[NAME:cbTest]"

Run($path & $bin, $path)
$win = WinWaitActive($soft)

ControlSend($win, '', $checkbox, "{F8}")
MsgBox(0, '', 'it is checked!')
ControlSend($win, '', $checkbox, "{F12}")
MsgBox(0, '', 'it is unchecked!')

WinClose($soft)

Edit: Another idea:
You could create a local TCP connection between autoit and your C# application, and then exchange informations (i.e. checked state), and make requests for checking/unchecking checkboxes or controlling other controls.
