AutoIt in C# INSTANCEID and X / Y / W / H

[malczu]

Hi

According to documentation we can use X / Y / W / H coordinates to select control. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me, and I have found it to be only option to select control due to changing INSTANCEID every time I re run application. Could you please advise?

Example code in Auto It script

ControlCommand("Win","","[CLASS:TComboBox; X:567; Y:421]", "GetCurrentSelection")

I have tried without CLASS as well, and by adding W and H as well. When I use class and instanceid it works fine.

Thanks

I made a function to list all controls (and informations of controls) for a given Window.

Maybe you can use it to retrieve the InstanceID from X / Y / W / H ?
