muchado Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I want to control a program that uses AfxFrameOrView100 objects to display a range of graphics. I was wondering if there is any way to unpack that to access the individual elements. I can't find very much about this kind of object. Ideally I would like to copy and paste to and from the spreadsheet cells. I would also like to be able to access the right-click menu, but that is another topic. I have attached a screenshot.

water Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Welcome to AutoIt and the forum! As the Window Info Tools shows the ID and Classname of the control it should be possible to control it using Control* functions. It might be a bit harder to copy / paste from/to individal cells.

muchado Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I forgot to mention that these objects are floating in an MDI Client (the grey stuff). Don't know if that makes any difference. Let me know if more information would be helpful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - thanks for the quick response. I can control the frame and I can click on things by using ControlClick and a location, but I would ideally like to <select all> then <copy>, then process the cells in a spreadsheet or similar and then <select all> and <paste> to replace everything. I can sort of do that (using keystrokes), but it is not well controlled. The main problem is that it is difficult to know when it is ready for me to move on. Any ideas?

Solution water Posted December 6, 2013 Solution Share Posted December 6, 2013 You need to identify the Window plus the Control you want to automate. Tab "Summary" gives you this information.

water Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Does the AdSec product provide some kind of API to do what you want?

I have identified the window - it is a strange Afx...... class, and the control is the AfxFrameOrView100 instance 1, which provides no more that that. I will try again and see if I have missed something. Thank you for your help.

muchado Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Does the AdSec product provide some kind of API to do what you want? Unfortunately not. I have been pressing them for one for a number of years. I understand that they will implement one for this program some time in the next year. However, they also write other programs that we also use, and which they are not currently planning to add an API for. AutoIT seems our best bet for now for automation...
