read value

[bowker]

Hi, is there a way for me to get the value of my slider? I tried using GUICtrlRead() but it's not working for me. I don't know if I'm in the wrong or not. I'm trying to get the value of the slider then change it to another value. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's my code:

Func Slider()
    ;User Input
;~  Local $input = InputBox("Brightness", "Set Brightness to:", "")
    ;Start automation
    Local $hWnd = WinWait("[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")
    ControlClick($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]") ;open the start menu
    Send("Display Settings", 10) ;Type the Display Settings in the start menu
    Sleep(1000)
    Send("{ENTER}")

    AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)

    Local $oP2 = _UIA_getObjectByFindAll($UIA_oDesktop, "Title:=Settings;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=ApplicationFrameWindow", $treescope_children)
    _UIA_Action($oP2, "setfocus")
    Local $oP1 = _UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP2, "Title:=Settings;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow", $treescope_children)
    _UIA_Action($oP1, "setfocus")
    Local $oP0 = _UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP1, "Title:=;controltype:=UIA_PaneControlTypeId;class:=ScrollViewer", $treescope_children)
;~ First find the object in the parent before you can do something
;~$oUIElement=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll("Changebrightness.mainwindow", "title:=Change brightness;ControlType:=UIA_SliderControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree)
    Local $Slider = _UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP0, "title:=Change brightness;ControlType:=UIA_SliderControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree)
    _UIA_action($Slider, "click")

    Local $value = GUICtrlRead($Slider)
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Brightness is at: " & $value)
    Local $setValue = GUICtrlSetData($Slider, 50)

    ;UI for verification
    Local $iTimeout = 1
    MsgBox(0, "Change Brightness", "Brightness Changed.", $iTimeout)
    Sleep(1000)

    WinClose("Settings") ;Close the active window
EndFunc   ;==>Slider

@bowker it is exceedingly difficult to offer assistance when you provide non-runnable code. This small snippet shows that doing a GuiCtrlRead on a slider works just fine:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 300)
Local $slider = GUICtrlCreateSlider(10, 10, 280, 50)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ConsoleWrite(GUICtrlRead($slider) & @CRLF)
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

If possible, please post a runnable code that reproduces your issue.

@JLogan3o13 The code is working fine for me. I think error would be the UIWrappers. The code needs to be in the same directory with the wrapper package in order for you to run the code without errors.
These are the packages
#RequireAdmin
#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <GuiSlider.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include "UISpy\UIAWrappers\UIAWrappers.au3"
