brad3260 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Hello, I'm new to AutoIt so forgive me if this is a simple problem. I work for a company that makes communication devices and our consumers love to use the Camera app in Window 8. The easiest way for them to use any program is with keyboard shortcuts but this app has very few so I decided to make my own using AutoIt since we have a tool that let's the individual to run programs with just a push of a button. I have the following script that I am running while the camera app is running which should take a picture but it doesn't #include <FileConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Example() AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text,$timeout=0) WinWait($title,$text,$timeout) If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text) WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout) EndFunc Func Example() _WinWaitActivate("Camera","",5) Local $hnd=WinGetHandle("Camera") ControlClick($hnd,"","","left",1,561,262) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Title", "Select the OK button.") EndFunc ;==>Example I'm going off of the following #region --- Au3Recorder generated code Start (v3.3.9.5 KeyboardLayout=00000409) --- #region --- Internal functions Au3Recorder Start --- Func _Au3RecordSetup() Opt('WinWaitDelay',100) Opt('WinDetectHiddenText',1) Opt('MouseCoordMode',0) Local $aResult = DllCall('User32.dll', 'int', 'GetKeyboardLayoutNameW', 'wstr', '') If $aResult[1] <> '00000409' Then MsgBox(64, 'Warning', 'Recording has been done under a different Keyboard layout' & @CRLF & '(00000409->' & $aResult[1] & ')') EndIf EndFunc Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text,$timeout=0) WinWait($title,$text,$timeout) If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text) WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout) EndFunc _AU3RecordSetup() #endregion --- Internal functions Au3Recorder End --- _WinWaitActivate("Au3Record","Address: C:Program ") Send("{RWINDOWN}{RWINUP}") _WinWaitActivate("Program Manager","FolderView") MouseClick("left",1161,262,1) _WinWaitActivate("Camera","") MouseClick("left",1161,262,1) MouseUp("left") Send("{LWINDOWN}r{LWINUP}") _WinWaitActivate("Run","Type the name of a p") Send("{ESC}") #endregion --- Au3Recorder generated code End --- Can anybody help me? I have been going at this for two days! I need to use the ControlClick method because our software covers some of the screen.

JohnOne Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 As a general rule, ControlClick needs the control id (3rd parameter) given to it. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
brad3260 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 So I tried the following and nothing still. Any other suggestions? #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <FileConstants.au3> Example() AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text,$timeout=0) WinWait($title,$text,$timeout) If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text) WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout) EndFunc Func Example() _WinWaitActivate("Camera","",5) Local $hnd=WinGetHandle("Camera") ControlClick($hnd,"","[CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:1]","left",1,1067,326) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Title", "Select the OK button.") EndFunc ;==>Example
mLipok Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 from documentation: Quote x [optional] The x position to click within the control. Default is center. y [optional] The y position to click within the control. Default is center. is this control: ControlClick($hnd,"","[CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:1]","left",1,1067,326) so big ?
