Moderators Melba23 Posted October 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2013 geetha,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. What application? What do you need to automate within it? Please give us some idea of what you are trying to do. And please note that we do not write scripts to order - we help you get your scripts working correctly. So you might want to start by reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) as this will help you understand how Autoit works. You should also look at this excellent tutorial to get a good idea of what AutoIt can accomplish.

water Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 To automate a third party GUI you need the AutoIt Window Info Tool to get the ControlIDs you want to autoamte. Then use Control* functions to do what you want to do.
