Get Control of batch file generated Window

[andree]

I am able to start a Teamcenter IE login screen and login. After logging in it starts a Teamcenter.exe window which I want to control. I can't use the mouse because the window moves around. I am a newbie. Can someone tell me how to caputure control of it and then close it?

Thanks,

Bob

Welcome to the forum.

You should have googled the name, from what I can see it's not a virus.

Teamcenter is a PDM product that we use. I need to create testing scripts for regression testing. I can log in using an SSO session and IE, but can't seem to take over the window that opens, Here is my code;

Run('C:Siemenstc83_4tierportalportal.bat')

;Sleep(5000)

WinWaitActive("Teamcenter Login - Windows Internet Explorer", "", 20)

Send("Username and Password")

WinWaitActive("https://tcweb01p.fnal.gov:7002/?loginPort=51997&tssv=1.3.2 - Teamcenter Security Agent - Windows Internet Explorer","",20)

;Sleep(15000)

;Send("{ALTDOWN}{TAB}{TAB}{ALTUP}")

WinWaitActive("teamcenter","",20)

Sleep(5000)

Send("{ALTDOWN}f{ALTUP}x")

WinWaitActive("Exit","",2)

Send("y")

 

It works up until I try to make the teamcenter window active. The window header is actually "My Teamcenter - Teamcenter 8". I want to make that window active so that I can run tests. After the last Sleep(5000) the rest of the Autiit script is just to log off of Teamcenter. When I run the script it;

a) runs C:Siemenstc83_4tierportalportal.bat

opens an IE window and asks for a Username and Password

c) I send it 

d) The Teamcenter window opens, but I can't do anything inside the window

 

Thanks for any and all help,

Bob

andree,

It may be that you are waiting for the windows to become active (WinWaitActive) but not activating the window first or the window becomes inactive if another window gets focus.  Look at WinWait then WinActivate in Help.

Example using your original script, not tested.

Run('C:\Siemens\tc83_4tier\portal\portal.bat')
;Sleep(5000)
WinWait("Teamcenter Login - Windows Internet Explorer")
WinActivate("Teamcenter Login - Windows Internet Explorer")
;WinWaitActive("Teamcenter Login - Windows Internet Explorer", "", 20)
Send("Username and Password")
WinWait("https://tcweb01p.fnal.gov:7002/?loginPort=51997&tssv=1.3.2 - Teamcenter Security Agent - Windows Internet Explorer")
WinActivate("https://tcweb01p.fnal.gov:7002/?loginPort=51997&tssv=1.3.2 - Teamcenter Security Agent - Windows Internet Explorer")
;WinWaitActive("https://tcweb01p.fnal.gov:7002/?loginPort=51997&tssv=1.3.2 - Teamcenter Security Agent - Windows Internet Explorer","",20)
;Sleep(15000)
;Send("{ALTDOWN}{TAB}{TAB}{ALTUP}")
WinWait("teamcenter")
WinActivate("teamcenter")
;WinWaitActive("teamcenter","",20)
Sleep(5000)
Send("{ALTDOWN}f{ALTUP}x")
WinWait("Exit") ; as long as another window title does not contain "Exit"
WinActivate("Exit")
;WinWaitActive("Exit","",2)
Send("y")

EDIT: Also take a look at ControlSend in Help.  The window does not have to be active.  From help -- ControlSend() works in a similar way to Send() but it can send key strokes directly to a window/control, rather than just to the active window.

What is the batch file doing?  Any reason you can't exclude the batch file and bring it into Autoit natively?
