Clicking accurately on a SysTabControl32

[Shibuya]

Hi peeps,

I'm trying to get a command that clicks on a particular tab of a SysTabControl32

Hoping to do it without using mouse coordinate clicks, or tabbing thru the other tabs which i need not access

I'd like to do it like the ControlCommand - SetCurrentSelection, which i believe it is not supported for tabs?

Look at the CurrentTab, TabLeft, and TabRight commands for the ControlCommand function.

Unfortunately, there is no MoveToTab command.

I've already looked at that command before comming to the forums

unfortunately, using TabLeft or TabRight would do the same thing as tabbing thru all the other tabs which I woun't want to access

You are not able to get to a tab using autoit without tabbing through others. Even then, there is no harm to the target program in clickin another tab before reaching the one you want.

Does not work with creative x-fi "audio console". it does change the tab, but all controls are disabled or if it is a listbox it is empty

Hi, look at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...c=42400&hl=

Toggle option show pictures on IE propierties using TreeView functions in AutoItLib3 package is something like :

#include <A3LMenu.au3>

#include <A3LTreeView.au3>

Global $hTree

$WinProp = "Internet Properties"

$nodo = "Show pictures"

Run("control.exe inetcpl.cpl,,6","",@SW_HIDE)

WinWait($WinProp)

$hTree = ControlGetHandle($WinProp, "", "SysTreeView321")

if @Error then _Lib_ShowError("Unable to find TreeView window")

$hNode = _TreeView_FindNode($hTree, $nodo)

If _TreeView_GetChecked($hTree, $hNode) Then

_TreeView_SetChecked($hTree, $hNode, False)

MsgBox(0,"","Unsetting Show pictures option")

Else

_TreeView_SetChecked($hTree, $hNode)

MsgBox(0,"","Setting Show pictures option")

EndIf

$verIE = StringMid(RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer", "Version"),1,1)
