Button know when it is clickable and when not with pixel

[Daka]

Hello there,

On the button there is image and when it is gray you cant click,
but when it is green I want click.

I taught:
get position of that button and then check with pixel if there is that color?

I would like that I'm independed of screen resolution and can take on the
class of that button and then get cordinate and go with pixelsearch.

@Daka,

What have you got so far?

[Daka]

WinWait($listWindow, "", 30)
   $hdlWindow = WinGetHandle($listWindow)
   ;$hdlList = ControlGetHandle($hdlWindow, "", $topicsList)
   $hc = ControlGetHandle('[CLASS:TImageButton; INSTANCE:11]','','')
   $k = WinGetPos("FormResearchGR")
   ConsoleWrite($k)
   $j = ControlClick($listWindow, "", "[CLASS:TImageButton; INSTANCE:11]", "left", 1)
   ConsoleWrite($j)

But getting position of button, like coordinates, I dont get it, Maybe WinGetPos is only for window it self
and not for position of the button on the window?

I wanted to get position of the button on the window to minimize work of search on pixelsearch
So far I am

Can you provide the $listWindow?.

[Daka]

$listWindow = "[CLASS:TFormResearchGR]"

[Daka]

ControlGetPos was looking at this one it should be maybe better

because this control works fine:
ControlClick($listWindow, "", "[CLASS:TImageButton; INSTANCE:11]", "left", 1)

[Daka]

Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:TFormResearchGR]", "", 10)
    WinActivate($hWnd)
    $pos = ControlGetPos("FormResearchGR", "", "[CLASS:TImageButton; INSTANCE:11]")
   ConsoleWrite($pos)

$pos dont give me anything

[Daka]

this is the info of the window and that button

Ok first mistake to learn ConsoleWrite is not like in php var_dump() to show me array or object or anything.

I did with next example from helpfile:

; Run Notepad
    Run("notepad.exe")

    ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.
    Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

    ; Retrieve the position x, y and size (width and height) of the edit control in Notepad. The handle returned by WinWait is used for the "title" parameter of ControlGetPos.
    Local $aPos = ControlGetPos($hWnd, "", "Edit1")

    ; Display the position and size of the edit control.
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Position: " & $aPos[0] & ", " & $aPos[1] & @CRLF & "Size: " & $aPos[2] & ", " & $aPos[3])

    ; Close the Notepad window using the handle returned by WinWait.
    WinClose($hWnd)

then I took only message that prompts me and got positions with next codes:

Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:TFormResearchGR]", "", 10)
    WinActivate($hWnd)
    $aPos = ControlGetPos($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:TImageButton; INSTANCE:11]")
   MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Position: " & $aPos[0] & ", " & $aPos[1] & @CRLF & "Size: " & $aPos[2] & ", " & $aPos[3])
ConsoleWrite($aPos[0])

Ok so I learned one thing ConsoleWrite only give string and never array or object,
What function is it in AutoIt to get all details of array or object?

 

Ok I get the coordinates, now I will go to pixelsearch to check how that would work

[Daka]

Ok final code is:
 

Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:TFormResearchGR]", "", 10)
    WinActivate($hWnd)
    $aPos = ControlGetPos($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:TImageButton; INSTANCE:11]")
   MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Position: " & $aPos[0] & ", " & $aPos[1] & @CRLF & "Size: " & $aPos[2] & ", " & $aPos[3])
ConsoleWrite($aPos[0] & ":")
ConsoleWrite($aPos[1] & ":")
ConsoleWrite($aPos[2] & ":")
ConsoleWrite($aPos[3] & ":")
$sizeX = $aPos[0] + $aPos[2]
$sizeY = $aPos[1] + $aPos[3]
; Find a pure red pixel in the range 0,0-20,300
Local $aCoord = PixelSearch($aPos[0], $aPos[1], $sizeX, $sizeY, 0xFF546A)
If Not @error Then
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "X and Y are: " & $aCoord[0] & "," & $aCoord[1])
EndIf

To get color of the button, if there is color of button it will give me pixelsearch if not it will show nothing.
Code works

@Daka,

Apology I wasn't able to response to you yesterday, I was off the office at that time. Anyway, I made my testing with some related code with your concern and everything is working fine (using another window) WinWait, ControlGetPos etc.... However, when attempting to check your code, I think FormResearchGP is missing in my machine and failed to response as well in my console and having error.

Hope someone here in this forum can extend their help finding your issue. But, as what I've seen and reading in you final code, I think that's fine and no issue.

yes it code is working great

[junkew]

you have as an alternative the UIA wrapper stuff. See what simplespy tells you

You can find that here in the post
