ControlClick/WinExist not working

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm trying to click a button in a popup window, but have so far failed all attempts. This is the output from Au3Info:

>>>> Window <<<<

This code does not work for me:

If WinExists("VncViewer Message Box") Then
      ControlClick("VncViewer Message Box", "", "[CLASS:Button ;INSTANCE:1]")
EndIf

Can someone point out to me what is wrong?

Using the CLASS ID for the window creates an endless loop before I even start the VNC Viewer, so I can not use it.

Thanks

Hi Morten,

  Try to get the Window Handle and use that.

Some error checking helps sometimes too( in the form of a MsgBox )

Example:

While 1
    If WinExists("Run") Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "Win now exists")
        $hWnd = WinGetHandle("Run")
        ControlClick($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:4]")
    Else
        ContinueLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

I tried using a msgbox for error checking, but it never pops up. There must be something I do wrong in the IF statement.

Using the same code to look for notepad Works as expected, but not with this window.

No MsgBox probably means WinExists cant see the window you have named "VncViewer Message Box"

which means your error check worked :-) you have an error ;-)

could not find where to get the "VncViewer Message Box" to popup but here is a working reproducer that might help you along:

If you run this script, then start VNC Viewer, it will click on the INFO button 2 seconds after the window is registered.

While 1
    If WinExists("VNC Viewer") Then
;~      MsgBox(0, "", "Win now exists")
        $hWnd = WinGetHandle("VNC Viewer")
        Sleep(2000) ; couple of seconds to collect thoughts
        ControlClick($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")
        Exit
    Else
        ContinueLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

Remarks

Some controls will resist clicking unless they are the active window. Use the WinActivate() function to force the control's window to the top before using ControlClick().

Using 2 for the number of clicks will send a double-click message to the control - this can even be used to launch programs from an explorer control!

If the user has swapped the left and right mouse buttons in the control panel, then the behaviour of the buttons is different. "Left" and "right" always click those buttons, whether the buttons are swapped or not. The "primary" or "main" button will be the main click, whether or not the buttons are swapped. The "secondary" or "menu" buttons will usually bring up the context menu, whether the buttons are swapped or not.

I also like to ControlFocus on the button, first.
