Removing all GUI functions

[JohnOne]

UAC is a windows security measure, and indicates that what you are attempting requires administrative rights.

There are two options I know of.

1. The user must allow by interacting with UAC

2. Turn off UAC in script, the user must also allow this via interaction

Any we we can automate this part in Autoit itself by pressing tab.. enter.... I observed Alt+y accepts directly... Any way we can pass that as parameter?

[amar3181]

If we hide GUI (SW_HIDE) I see the Send command for Tab or enter does not work as expected.Any idea on how to hardcode the default selection and proceed to next screen as request in my code in previous posts

[JohnOne]

Without something to work with as said in previous posts it's pointless, time wasting.

I can go as far as suggest ControlSend()

[TheSaint]

This will not really Help you achieve what you want, but it will help simplify.

Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")

can be better achieved by

Send("{TAB 4}")

Testing for Window existence, with timeouts and making active, also helps a lot.

Use of a simple MsgBox to check on things or report errors is required when troubleshooting.

You can also write values to a test INI file, to avoid focus issues of a MsgBox.

P.S. I have forgotten whether you are aware of or have used the Window Info program (tool)?

John here is the piece of code as requested for better understanding

 

---------------------------------------

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=q:1_clientsmorphomorphosecureinstall_lang.kxf

$install_lang = GUICreate("MorphoSecurePC", 615, 438, -1, -1)

GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)

$Logo01 = GUICtrlCreatePic($PathSrc&"Imglogo01.jpg", 56, 32, 500, 196)

$lang_install = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 128, 280, 361, 30, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Arial Black")

GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x646464)

$Next_lang = GUICtrlCreateButton("Next >>", 496, 392, 107, 33)

$version = GUICtrlCreateLabel("v "&IniRead($PathSrc&"config.ini", "Global", "version", "0"), 576, 8, 37, 17)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $install_lang)

#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

 

 

; Get all languages onto language.ini

$LanguageList = ""

;MsgBox(0, "", $PathSrc&"language.ini")

Local $VarLangList = IniReadSectionNames($PathSrc&"language.ini")

If @error Then

Logger("INI Language : ERROR : Cannot find the language.ini file.")

ErrorAndExit("Language File")

Else

For $i = 1 To $VarLangList[0]

$LanguageList = $LanguageList & $VarLangList[$i] & "|"

Next

$LanguageList = StringLeft($LanguageList, StringLen($LanguageList)-1)

EndIf

GUICtrlSetData($lang_install, $LanguageList, "English")

 

 

; Wait for a click on "Next" button

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

Case $Next_lang

GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $install_lang)

;OsType()

Global $My_Language = GUICtrlRead($lang_install)

ExitLoop

EndSwitch

WEnd

 

------------------------

 

GUI is created

Options are loaded from ini

Waiting for selection to be made and press next.

[amar3181]

Devil Tab things works for me now. But again Since I Have to hide my GUI during install can't go for that option. Back to the same issue.

[TheSaint]

Life would be so much easier for all of us, if you use the AutoIt forum code tags. See here.

Indents using five spaces, helps too.

I cannot see too much wrong with the code.

One thing though, is the repeated declaration of Global in your Case statement. You should only declare it once, and the recommended location, is at the top/start of your script. You can assign a value to it any time.

It would also help, if you gave another explanation, just under the code, of what it is precisely that you want to do (saves us having to scroll up and down and between pages). Never hurts to reassess and rewrite in any case. Doing it using steps is best.

Wait for a click on "Next" button part is the issues.

I just want next to be selected automatically. How can we code this?

[TheSaint]

Basically you just need to modify the second lot of code, and ignore the first and third portions.

Your For...Next loop, instead of populating the Combo could be used to get each language, which then uses (works with) the other code you have not shown, using a call to a function of such.

If you do that, then you can throw away the GUI code altogether.

i.e.

For $i = 1 To $VarLangList[0]
     $Language = $VarLangList[$i]
     ProcessLanguageFunction()
Next

Func ProcessLanguageFunction()
     ; processing code goes here working with the $Language value
EndFunc

You can Send several things / events in every line, also check if put some Sleep(10) when the feeling is recomendable.

[amar3181]

Well the defaults are already shown so even dropdown has more values it's not a concern.

For below code where we need to wait for an event which is the mouse click on next. I need to automatically have next selected in say a couple of seconds.

; Wait for a click on "Next" button
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $Next_lang
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $install_lang)
;OsType()
Global $My_Language = GUICtrlRead($lang_install)
ExitLoop
EndSwitch
WEnd

I just need to remove this and add delay along with automatic selection of next. How Can I achieve this?

[orbs]

how about take a completely different approach to this:

1) see which variables store the results of the user selection at the GUI.

2) see how these variables are handled later.

3) delete everything GUI, and feed the values you want directly to the variables (1) or directly to the piece of code that handles them (2).

[amar3181]

That crossed my mind too.. But since I am new I am not sure I would be able to remove all GUI and pass parameters directly. My issue would have been resolved lot earlier .

[orbs]

try it. you wasted enough time trying to click your way through your own GUI.

post the pieces of code you have difficulty understanding - hell, post your entire code. how bad can it be? 

[amar3181]

Exe or ini it references not included but the code is complete.

Objective - Just get rid of GUI and automate the next selection at each interface with default values already selected. No other changes required. Just hide GUI and automate the click of next at each selection.

[orbs]

1) anything else your GUI sets except the language?

2) please post your language.ini file.

EDIT: and state what is the desired selection from that list of languages.

Edited February 26, 2015 by orbs

[orbs]

go to everywhere this line appears:

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

and change it to this:

$nMsg=$Next

except in line 90 (or so), where it should be this:

$nMsg=$Next_lang

meaning: instead of waiting for the user to click, you force the selection you want.

 

if this works, you can later disable the showing of the GUI. look for this:

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,

and wherever you find it, comment it out.
