IUIAutomation Problem

[Leo1906]

Hey Guys,

I got stuck with a problem here. It's the first time I'm using the UIAutomation but I got it working for me.
I wrote myself a function which starts a Python Console in an external program. Here is the function:

 

Func _start_python()
    WinKill("Python")
    $XTPToolBar="Afx:00310000:b:00010003:00000006:010F01BB"
    $PyButton="Python"
    $oPyButton=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($UIA_oDesktop,"class:=" & $XTPToolBar, $treescope_children)

    if isobj($oPyButton) Then
        _UIA_DumpThemAll($oPyButton,$treescope_subtree)
        $oButton=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($oPyButton,"name:=" & $PyButton, $treescope_subtree)
        $oInvokeP=_UIA_getpattern($oButton,$UIA_InvokePatternID)
        $oInvokeP.Invoke
        WinWaitActive("Python")
        $pyHandle = WinGetHandle("Python")
        WinSetState("Python", "", @SW_HIDE)
        sleep(1000)
        Return $pyHandle
    EndIf
EndFunc

So my problem is that it is only working as long as the $XTPToolBar="Afx:00310000:b:00010003:00000006:010F01BB" is valid.
With every restart of the program this handle changes. The question now is, how can I retrieve it automatically.

Since now I used the Simple Spy tool to get it, but I want to make it work on it's own. But I can't understand the Simple Spy program in detail and can't figure out, how to extract just this part out of the program .. :/

Maybe you can help me with this

 

And something different on the side. The UIIAutomation draws red borders around the object it is currently inspecting. Not just when using Simple Spy. I want to get rid of them, because I can't iamgine that those are really needed for functionallity. And I don't want the user to see those things .. Do you know which part of the UDF I have to remove? I allready got rid of the logging function, but I still can't find this part in the scripts ..

 

Thanks in advance

Kind regards,
Leo

Ok .. well .. I figured it out myself

 

Here's the solution:

Quellcode

Quellcode bearbeiten

1. _WinAPI_GetClassName($hwnd)

 

 $hwnd is the handle of the program, retrieved through WinGetHandle()

Relatively easy and I don't have to use the UDF

 

But the thing with removing the red bars is still a thing though

Its a setting in the cfg file. Check for highlight phrase in the sources of uiautomation. I
