Installer child process

[s4pp3r]

Hi all,
 
i'm trying to automate an app installer with a checkbox at the end. If i leave it checked, the installed application will start. ( child process )
How can i call a WinClose method on it?
 
I'm using win32com.client w/ Dispatch in python 2.7
Tried WinSearchChildren set to 1, WinActivate, WinGetState, WinExists but it fails.
What is the way to handle the child properly?
I can get the pid, and force to close it by processkill, but its not the same as WinClose >
 
Any idea?

from win32com.client import Dispatch
_autoit = Dispatch("AutoItX3.Control")
_autoit.Opt("WinSearchChildren", 1)
_autoit.Run(installer)
_autoit.WinWaitActive("[Class:#32770]", "", 3)
#Language selection
_autoit.ControlCommand("[Class:#32770]", "", "ComboBox1", "SetCurrentSelection", 1)
#Next
_autoit.ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "", "Button1")
_autoit.WinWaitActive("[Class:#32770]", "", 5)
#Install button
_autoit.ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "", "Button2")
_autoit.WinWaitActive("[Class:#32770]", "", 5)
#Pull until install finishes
while not _autoit.ControlGetText("[Class:#32770]", "", "Static14"):
    time.sleep(0.25)
_autoit.WinWaitActive("[Class:#32770]", "", 3)
#This checkbox allow to run program after installer finish
#_autoit.ControlCommand("[Class:#32770]", "", "Button4", "UnCheck", "")
_autoit.WinWaitActive("[Class:#32770]", "", 3)
#Close
_autoit.ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "", "Button2")
#wait till it loads
time.sleep(3)
print _autoit.WinExists("ClassWindow")
print _autoit.WinGetState("ClassWindow")
_autoit.WinSetState("ClassWindow", "", autoit.SW_SHOW)
_autoit.WinActivate("ClassWindow")
_autoit.WinClose("ClassWindow")

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

I can't help with your problem but I'm sure you will get as much help as possible when posting your code.

A little update, all previous try can work if i use Title instead of the class...i can't use it because currently ~17 language is supported, and don't want to using regex match or any hardcoded string in it

update#2:

Looks like Au3Info window control does not work, but WinGetClassList tells me this:

Chrome_WidgetWin_0

Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND

CompositorHostWindowClass

 

tried, Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND and autoit.WinClose("[CLASS:Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND; INSTANCE:1]") but still fails to close it

 

okay: acceptable solution

 

because its a special application ( a form with chrome render ) cannot acces window class properly, so i would check for child processes and using winclose with title method

Chrome_WidgetWin_0

Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND

CompositorHostWindowClass

 

 

That looks like a chrome browser control rather than a window form top container, can it really close without its parent closing.

[s4pp3r]

Yes, but i cannot close it with the window class

[JohnOne]

autoit.WinClose("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]", "")

Or

autoit.WinClose("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]", "")

[s4pp3r]

Does not work...

>>> au.WinClose("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]", "")

1

>>> au.WinClose("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]", "")

1

 

Cannot control a chrome class within a form. So i will use title by language codes and matching it with the form title.
