Buffo Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hello Today appears a new problem: I want to run menu entries in firefox. The AutoIt InfoWindow only shows me two different controls in the whole firefox window: menu and taskbars are MozillaWindowClass1 and the browserwindow is MozillaWindowClass16. I tried WinMenuSelectItem, ControlSend and ControlClick. WinMenuSelect item only works with standard-controls, right? For ControlSend and ControlClick, I don't have the classes. At this time I activate the Firefox-window and send keys:Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) WinActivate("Firefox") Send("^s"); -> SaveAs This temporary solution isn't my favourite. Anyone a tip for a more elegant solution? Best I would use ControlSend or ControlClick ;-) Regards, Buffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxP Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Very oddly enough, I wasn't able to make this approach work:Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4) ControlSend('ClassName=MozillaWindowClass', '', 'MozillaWindowClass1', '^s')even though WinGetHandle('ClassName=MozillaWindowClass') returns a handle. However this example (which uses a literal part of the title) works:ControlSend('AutoIt Forums', '', 'MozillaWindowClass1', '^s') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffo Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Very oddly enough, I wasn't able to make this approach work: ControlSend('AutoIt Forums', '', 'MozillaWindowClass1', '^s') I am so stupid This is what I tried, too. But I swapped two letters. I used "MozillaWindowCalss1". Now it works Regards, Buffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that if you want to find a Firefox browser window without knowing its title, you'll need to search by class (which will return a few windows) and then look for a window with a certain amount of controls or something. Fiddly but doable. Why Mozilla decide not to give their software windows meaningful class names in the first place is beyond me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
