aaddaamm Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Hi -- hope there is an easy fix that I am overlooking. There is a column of three buttons within a window -- 'Request', 'Notice' and 'Query' -- but the first two share a 'button6' id in the windowinfo tool and I am unsure how to point to them uniquely. The third ('Query') is 'button8'. Is there a way to uniquely identify 'button6' and 'button7' if no differences appear in windowinfo? I tried to click on 'button6' and the implied 'button7' using a script that works successfully with 'button8' but it does not work. Is there a way -- besides using mouseclick and coordinates? -- to click on these buttons? Attached are some photos that show the windowinfo and buttons. They are not that useful. Capture1 shows the 'Query' button info and 'Capture2' is what I see when I hover over both 'Request' and "Notice'. Thanks for the help.. Edited March 8, 2016 by aaddaamm typo.

jguinch Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 You can work with the text of the control, for example : [CLASS:Button; Instance:6; TEXT:Request] Look at the help file for more informations.

BrewManNH Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 That text comes from the Group control, and not the radio buttons. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

aaddaamm Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 I will look and play around some more. I am doing something wrong since I cannot get my script to click on button8 using the method you say, despite trying winactivate, etc. I tried switching instance/text around as I saw in another post, but ControlClick("E-Locate", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:8; TEXT:Query]") ControlClick("E-Locate", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Query; INSTANCE;8]") do not seem to work yet. I've tried CLASNN too. No luck. I will play around. Thanks for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienclone Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 those look like radio buttons, try controlcommand If @error Then MsgBox(262192, "", @ComputerName & " slaps " & @UserName & " around a bit with a large trout!")

jdelaney Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sometimes the autoit spy tool can't grab controls within 'button' groups (which is what BewManNH was pointing out)...my signature will output all the controls for your window, but in the end, you should use controlcommand to reliably set your radio to 'checked', (as alienclone noted) IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.

aaddaamm Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Quote Thank you all for your help. I was able to make it work using the information from jdelaney's GetAllWindowControls. My few attempts with controlcommand didn't work but I'm sure I can figure it out. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
