uTorrent - Sending shortcuts to open up dialogs

[FusionAura]

Hi,

I am trying to programatically use Autoit to migrate uTorrent files. I need to send the key Ctrl + D to uTorrent, and then fill in a dialogue  box on the torrent location and the file location.

 

However, I am stuck after opening uTorrent and trying to send the Ctrl D Command.

This may not be the best but.

Run("C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe")
WinWaitActive("µTorrent 3.4.3  (build 40298) [32-bit]")
ControlSend("µTorrent 3.4.3  (build 40298) [32-bit]", "", "", Send("^d"))

 

That's the current code. I've tested this back with notepad to see if the code is working fine and it is, which make me struggle to understand why it wouldn't work for uTorrent. Could anybody help out please?

Because I believe µTorrent is a java app with non standard controls.

Try just using Send(...)

Hi,

uTorrent is actually written in C++, but yes, I've tried the basic Send with the WinWaitActive as per the basic example for notepad and it didn't work either

Add this to top of script

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

And remove "µ" from window title.

EDIT: and look again at your parameters of ControlSend.

I JUST SOLVED IT. Haha, Thanks for your solution tho, tried it out as well to be working

 

I did it a different way tho, got the PID and used WinGetProcess to get the actual full title itself, my guess is the title of the program has some special characters thus the problem.

I have another problem tho....When automating the dialog box itself, the title of the dialog box is "Choose where to download 12345 torrent", because 12345 torrent is a variable, i decided to match it to Choose where to download.

 

Following your trend above, i did.

   Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
   ControlSend("Choose where to download", "", "[CLASSNN:Edit]", "C:\Users\Info\Desktop\12345")

 

But it doesn't seem to match it

 

Any idea how?

 

Edit, Fixed it  

 

Thanks!

did you know that you can run a program from within uTorrent ?

expandcollapse popup

You can use the following parameters:

%F - Name of downloaded file (for single file torrents)
%D - Directory where files are saved
%N - Title of torrent
%P - Previous state of torrent
%L - Label
%T - Tracker
%M - Status message string (same as status column)
%I - hex encoded info-hash
%S - State of torrent
%K - kind of torrent (single|multi)

Where State is one of:

Error - 1
Checked - 2
Paused - 3
Super seeding - 4
Seeding - 5
Downloading - 6
Super seed [F] - 7
Seeding [F] - 8
Downloading [F] - 9
Queued seed - 10
Finished - 11
Queued - 12
Stopped - 13
Queued - 12
Preallocating - 17
Downloading Metadata - 18
Connecting to Peers - 19
Moving - 20
Flushing - 21
Need DHT - 22
Finding Peers - 23
Resolving - 24
Writing - 25

Yes I did, but that doesn't work with what I'm trying to do. I'm adding a torrent, not running a program after the torrent is completed

Have you tried the µTorrent UDF in example scripts?
