Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Which application do you try to automate? Somehow it looks Quicktime related.

First thing I would search for is command line parameters for the program. You can save yourself a lot of headache for something that has already been solved by the developer. If you cant find command line parameters then you can use pixelgetcolor, mouseclick, pixelchecksum, imgsearch, etc. What are you trying to accomplish?

Hi,

that looks like Qt toolkit. As far as I know, Qt does not use windows controls and by-passes standard message based (GetMessage(), SendMessage()) event handling, it works at GDI level using its own signal-slot mechanism. I highly doubt AutoIt can do anything about it.

As said qt is supported with msaa iuia ia2 see examples section
