Can't get state of radio button

[Silverlode]

Hello everyone.

I have a dialog in an application I'm doing some automation testing for that has radio buttons for which I need to state of each.  They're all returning "0".  Here's my code right now:

$state01 = ControlCommand("User Defined Accounts", "", "[NAME:radioButton_Output_Items]", "IsChecked", "")
MsgBox(0, "", $state01)

I've also tried _GuiCtrlButton_GetCheck.  Nothing works.  "0" is always returned.  Any ideas?

Thank you.

First thing I'd do is start error checking, and ensure I can actually get a handle to the window.

WinGetHandle()

[Silverlode]

I can get a handle.

Local $handle01 = WinGetHandle("User Defined Accounts")
If @error Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred when trying to retrieve the window handle of User Defined Accounts.")
        Exit
    EndIf

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $handle01)

The handle (0x0022035A) is displayed in the MsgBox.

Can you show a screenshot of the window, as well as what the Window Info tool shows you regarding the radio buttons specifically?

[JohnOne]

Then I'd test if I could get a handle to the control.

ControlGetHandle()

[Silverlode]

Yes, I can get the ControlID handle as well.

JLo, I uploaded a screenshot to Google Drive:

Next I'd try to first give focus to the control before getting its property.

ControlFocus()

[Silverlode]

I CAN give it focus.  Return is "1".

Even THEN, after giving focus, my IsChecked is returning "0" (despite it being checked).

[JohnOne]

Looks like the control you're getting might be a collection of controls

"[NAME:radioButton_Output_Items]"

Try

$state01 = ControlCommand("User Defined Accounts", "", "[TEXT:Items]", "IsChecked", "")

[Silverlode]

Nope.  Still getting "0", but I know "[TEXT:Items]" works because I tried it in my ControlGetHandle.  

[JohnOne]

Could just be that this .net window is not going to play ball, and you may have to use UIAutomation UDF in example scripts.

Have you tried using the ID directly?

$state01 = ControlCommand("User Defined Accounts", "", 329246, "IsChecked", "")

[Silverlode]

Every time I open the dialog, the ID is different.  I've never done a user-defined function.  I'll look into it.

[JohnOne]

Yes it will be different, but does it work?

[Silverlode]

No.

[JohnOne]

Bad news then for getting info from conventional API.

Looks like you'll have to try your hand with other UDF.

Good answer JohnOne. Is that you on the picture? It's not Tony Benn.

[JohnOne]
