How do i get ControlID for controlclick Autoit spytool dont show it?

[Mandi]

Hello!

This is a general question that I would love to get answered. I've been using Controlclick for various application, but some times I can't use it since there is not enough information about the controlID from the autoit spy tool. Some times the Control tab on the spy tool is just blank... Does that mean its a masked window? And is there a way to go around this?

 

So here is Usally how i use it:

$NameOfApplication =" X.X.X"

$ControlID = "X.X.X" ( I always use the advanced class as my controlid, maybe there is other controlid's i can use? and how?

$xCordinate

$yCordinate

 

Controlclick($NameOfApplication, "", "$ControlID", "left", 1 $xCoridnate, $yCordinate)

The AutoIt Window Info Tool is not going to capture everything. Take a look at the IUIAutomation thread and the SimpleSpy tool in the examples forum.

@Mandi, Any reason why you needed to create a new account?

Regardless of the name you choose, my post in your last thread still stands - if you continue to ask questions and then not provide any information, expecting people to guess at what you're doing, you are going to receive any help.

ControlID is not used in UI Automation code and normally you cannot get ControlID. ControlID is used in classic automation code.

If it's necessary to use UI Automation code to detect a control, then it's usually also necessary to use UI Automation code to automate the control. The control cannot be automated with classic code.
