Outlook Addin button not working

[bobbinmp]

Hi Friends

I have a outlook addin project. This addin create a button with the id "archivebutton"  at the mail ribbon. When i click on that button, it will open a window form. I need to do this with autoit. Below is code that i have done.

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

;open outlook
ShellExecute("OUTLOOK.EXE")

WinWaitActive("Inbox")

Sleep(1000)
Local $archiveBtn = WinGetHandle("Inbox")
MsgBox(64,"Test",$archiveBtn)
Local $Btn = ControlGetHandle($archiveBtn, "", "archivebutton")
;ControlFocus($archiveBtn, "", "[NAME:archivebutton]")

ControlClick($archiveBtn, "", $Btn)

The above code is not working. Can any one direct me why its not working?

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Why do you need to automate the GUI? Can't you use the Outlook COM interface?

I need to add the automated testing in my add in project. I already have the outlook add in project.

Actually I need only to open a outlook and click on my button. Can you show me an example here. The link that u given is checked, but i didnt understand it.

Then you need to describe in detail what you mean by: "The above code is not working."

Is Outlook started?

Does the script hang or end without any processing?

Etc., etc.

Yes, the above code just start the outlook and the below code will display this text "0x001003F4"

MsgBox(64,"Test",$archiveBtn)

But what doesn't work?

[bobbinmp]

The below code is not working 

ControlClick($archiveBtn, "", $Btn)

[water]

What's the returnvalue of Controlclick?

$iValue = ControlClick($archiveBtn, "", $Btn)
MsgBox(0, "", $iValue)

[bobbinmp]

The return value is showing "1"
