@Earthshine UIAutomation might be a more universal alternative for automating GUIs:

Ok I understend a littlebit more thanks to you people

I did a lot of websitetest with selenium,
but that was more for webautomation
it was easy you just go to lets say chrome 
inspect element and you know where it is
id or xpath etc.

So you are telling me it should be the same with this too?

Like you mentioned many of java programs and UIAutomation MS

this is interesting, so I need to dig more to find out,
what is optimal tool to find the elements?

If any suggestion more like take this one only then please share

For UIAutomation: Inspect from Windows Development Kit and Simple Spy supplied in @junkew's wrapper.

I use Coded UI myself. Straight from the MS UI Automation source 

[Daka]

I tried the tools that you mentioned above but still not luck https://github.com/blackrosezy/gui-inspect-tool
it gives me the same results. I could share this program, but it is connected to hardware and can't work with out hardware.

 

[Earthshine]

I looked it up. It’s embedded on a device. No info on what it’s written in

si even Inspect.exe did not find anything useful?

Ok I made video to show you, that there is no text like Longitudinal cross-section of head, there are some ids but no text
https://youtu.be/tkXywZ4Pp6s

then I have other thing is where the organ is I cant access any id,
and all those triangles are clickable. Also other links the tool cant find it
it just find the above box and doesn't go deeper.
that's why I went to x y position, but it changes on the resolutions  

here is what Im talking about 

 

[Earthshine]

did you try the spy tool in the link TheDcoder posted? The IUI Automation stuff

[Earthshine]

looks like your application was authored in Delphi. I recommend a product called TestCompete for this. Try their trial and record a test. It can probably automate it.

[Daka]

ok thank you very much I will try this, how do you know it could be delphi?

[Earthshine]

looking at the control class names and google searching... lol

[Daka]

smartbear is kind of expensive, but just to try and see if I can find it will be great. tnx again

[Earthshine]

well, there is always Python (which I dearly love)

Try findbmp in examples or imagesearch for 5x5 yellow pixels

@TheDcoder, hey, I can run Simple Spy on my Win10 box but my Server 2008R2 box, it crashes.

 

Edit, well, under the AutoIt editor it crashes windows explorer, but compiled runs fine? weird. I'll figure this out. thanks @TheDcoder and @junkew

@Earthshine UIAutomation should be available by default from Windows Vista and Server 2008 and you can get it on XP and Server 2003 by installing .NET Framework 3.0. So I doubt your server lacks something important, is it a hard crash (i.e Windows shows a "This program has crashed" dialog) or an error thrown by AutoIt?

[Earthshine]

thank you mate! today it works. I probably just needed a reboot. that server runs 24x7 and RARELY goes down unless power outage and the battery puts it to sleep. rebooted, now it runs compiled and in the editor. it would crash with an error and I was trying to get that error and post. now it works fine. lol it looked like an app crash and I never bothered to get the details. I will if i ever see it again.

well, I spoke too soon, this was behind VMware, crashed...

Before that, it requires a restart of Windows Explorer shell before getting to this error below

Try running the script uncompiled and take a screenshot of the error, the screenshot of the compiled script doesn't help very much.

[Earthshine]

here you go.

 

btw, thanks for all the help! it's not so important that runs on the host, but in VMs where I do the development I could use it. I'll make sure it works in my 2008R2 VMs
