papote Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I am trying to copy values from an Access table to a program. With the following code, I notice that if a field is empty or null the variable is set with the previous field’s value. expandcollapse popupOpt("MouseCoordMode", 2) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client Opt("SendKeyDelay", 100) ; milliseconds HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") $it = InputBox("Loop","") $AccessWindowTitle = "Microsoft Access - Accounts 2017 : Database (Access 2007 - 2010)" $MyWindowTitle = "MyWindow Title" if $it <= 0 then Exit EndIf For $i = 1 to $it Step 1 if WinExists($AccessWindowTitle) Then $hWnd = WinWait($AccessWindowTitle, "" ,5) Sleep(100) ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "^c") Global $oacc = clipget() ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "{TAB}") ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "^c") Global $oname = clipget() ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "{TAB}") ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "^c") Global $odir1 = clipget() ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "{TAB}") ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "^c") Global $ofac = clipget() ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "{TAB}") if WinExists($MyWindowTitle) Then $hWnd = WinWait($MyWindowTitle, "" ,5) WinActivate($hWnd) Send ("{F8}") Send ("N") Send($oacc) Send ("{Enter}") Sleep (200) Send ("{Enter}") Send($oname) Send ("{Right}") Send ("{Space}") Send ("{Enter}") Send ("{Enter}") Send($odir1) Send ("{Enter}") Send ("{Enter}") Send($ofac) Send ("{Enter}") Send ("{F12}") EndIf endif Next Func Terminate() Exit EndFunc ;==>Terminate How can avoid this?

papote Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) ADO as in ActiveX Data Objects? No. The program has a non accessible proprietary database. I have to do the data entry through a macro. Edited June 7, 2016 by papote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelHB Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 papote, There is better ways to automate that task, just research and you will find it. The last window ($MyWindowTitle) you are using "send" commands, as i cant know what software is, also make sure that this is the best way (UI Automation is always a option). Meanwhile put a ClipPut("") before each copy command (^c). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papote Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 I put ClipPut("") before each ControlSend ($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "^c"), but it does not save the text to clipboard at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelHB Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Check if the ControlSend returns 1. Have you tried something like this? expandcollapse popup#include <Array.au3> Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client Opt("SendKeyDelay", 100) ; milliseconds HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") Global $aArray[4] $it = InputBox("Loop","") $AccessWindowTitle = "Microsoft Access - Accounts 2017 : Database (Access 2007 - 2010)" $MyWindowTitle = "MyWindow Title" if $it <= 0 then Exit EndIf For $i = 1 to $it Step 1 if WinExists($AccessWindowTitle) Then $hWnd = WinWait($AccessWindowTitle, "" , 5) Sleep(100) For $i = 0 To 3 ClipPut("") If Not ControlSend($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "^c") Then Exit ConsoleWrite("Cant copy, check $hWnd and controlID" & @CRLF) $aArray[$i] = ClipGet() ControlSend($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "{TAB}") Next _ArrayDisplay($aArray) if WinExists($MyWindowTitle) Then $hWnd = WinWait($MyWindowTitle, "" ,5) WinActivate($hWnd) Send ("{F8}") Send ("N") Send($aArray[0]) Send ("{Enter}") Sleep (200) Send ("{Enter}") Send($aArray[1]) Send ("{Right}") Send ("{Space}") Send ("{Enter}") Send ("{Enter}") Send($aArray[2]) Send ("{Enter}") Send ("{Enter}") Send($aArray[3]) Send ("{Enter}") Send ("{F12}") EndIf endif Next Func Terminate() Exit EndFunc ;==>Terminate Exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papote Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 I don't understand, but putting clipput('') BEFORE copying returns empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelHB Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 papote, Did you try to put some delay in the copy part? Like: For $i = 0 To 3 ClipPut("") Sleep(500) If Not ControlSend($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "^c") Then Exit ConsoleWrite("Cant copy, check $hWnd and controlID" & @CRLF) $aArray[$i] = ClipGet() Sleep(500) ControlSend($hWnd, "", "OGrid3", "{TAB}") Next Play with the delay between the ClipPut and ClipGet to see if this fix. And as i said before there is other ways to automate this task, search for Access and you will see many topics about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
