Cannot get AutoIt to work with Xsplit

[Joeonly]

I am trying to automate some step to initiate XSplit, a video broadcast tool, but not matter what I do Xsplit does not seem to react to any Autoit functions. I can do a send for alt-f (file menu) to notepad, per the example and it works, then try to do the same thing for XSplit and nothing happens. I have tried numerous functions and XSplit does not react to any of them. I know the script is running but nothing I try gets XSplit to react.

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

When you activate the script do you make the xsplit window active?

WinActive("XSplit")

Post some code, are you automating via keystroke only?

None of the below (included the commented lines) gets XSplit to react. I have tried by "TITLE" and "ID" and "CONTROL" to no avail.

I have used the AutoIT v3 Window Info tool to make sure I am referencing the correct title and such. Am I correct in understanding that "WinActivate" should bring process to the forefront and focus, as if I clicked on the process on the task bar, so that then a keystroke command (e.g. alt-b) will be reacted upon by the process I have activated?

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase
Local $hWnd = WinWait("[TITLE:XSplit]", "", 5)
WinSetState($hWnd,"", @SW_RESTORE)
;WinActivate($hWnd)
;WinSetState($hWnd, "", @SW_SHOW)
ControlClick("XSplit Broadcaster", "", "[ID:254]")

Just try this

WinActivate("XSplit Broadcaster", "")
ControlClick("XSplit Broadcaster", "", 254)

So I tried the following as suggested:

WinActivate("XSplit Broadcaster", "")
ControlClick("XSplit Broadcaster", "", 254)

That does bring up the XSplit broadcaster window. However, if I follow it with:

Send ("!b") ;Select broadcast menu item (alt-b)

I get no reaction. It should activate the broadcast menu item. Upon completion of the script, I can enter alt-b on the keyboard and it does activate the menu item.

Ideas??

Thanks again for the help.
