Alternatives to getobject IUI

[milkmoron]

I am trying to automate a program that attaches files. I have the following code.

_UIA_setVar("row1attachment","Title:=(Value=(.*)# Row=1 Column=File Name);controltype:=UIA_TextControlTypeId")
local $orow1attachment=_UIA_getObject("title:=Value=(.*)# Row=1 Column=File Name;ControlType:=UIA_TextControlTypeId")

If IsObj($orow1attachment) Then

   _UIA_setVar("View Activity","Title:=View Activity;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.30495d1_r9_ad1") ;View Activity

   _UIA_Action("View Activity","highlight")
   _UIA_Action("View Activity","setfocus")

WinActivate ( "View Activity" , "" )

   _UIA_action("row1attachment","highlight")
   _UIA_action("row1attachment","click")

   local $AttachmentsAmount = 2

_UIA_setVar("row2attachment","Title:=(Value=(.*)# Row=2 Column=File Name);controltype:=UIA_TextControlTypeId")
local $orow2attachment=_UIA_getObject("title:=Value=(.*)# Row=2 Column=File Name;ControlType:=UIA_TextControlTypeId")

The only problem is when if finally encounters a attachment that doesn't exist it takes a long time to process. Is there a more efficient way to see if an object exists and then move on to the next step?

Yes, you allways can use the uia interfaces. The wrapper keeps searching in different hierarchies and in worst case tries to find from desktop. Find the parent thru the wrapper and the use findall function. Examples of usage in the wrapper and somewhere in examples 1 thru 10 these interfaces are shown on how to work in comparison to winlist.
