i tryed also this  code 

;~ *** Standard code ***
#include "UIAWrappers.au3"
AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)
run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")



;~ IE definitions
_UIA_setVar("browser1.mainwindow","classname:=IEFrame;controltype:=WindowControl;instance:=1")
_UIA_setVar("browser1.addressbar","Title:=Adresbalk;controltype:=UIA_PaneControlTypeId;class:=Address Band Root;indexrelative:=1")

;~ 2nd and 3rd browser definition (as an example)
_UIA_setVar("browser2.mainwindow","classname:=IEFrame;controltype:=WindowControl;instance:=2")
_UIA_setVar("browser3.mainwindow","classname:=IEFrame;controltype:=WindowControl;instance:=3")


;~ _UIA_setVar("browser4.addressbar","ControlType:=EditControl;instance:=1")

;~ So first on internet explorer
_UIA_action("browser1.mainwindow","setfocus")
_UIA_action("browser1.addressbar","setfocus")
_UIA_action("browser1.addressbar","click")
_UIA_action("browser1.addressbar","setvalue", "www.autoitscript.com")
_UIA_action("browser1.addressbar","sendkeys", "{ENTER}")
;~ Just to show something happened before we go home again
sleep(5000)
_UIA_action("browser1.addressbar","sendkeys", "{BROWSER_HOME}")

The error is telling you what is wrong. $tPattern is obviously not an object. What more do you need, go figure out why it doesn't exist.

[Earthshine]

well, i ran the example, and it does error out like that.

[Earthshine]

ok, so, it's the fact that he's looking for Notepad in different langues causing the bug... lol

here is my fixed code, working now, on Windows 10, working reliably, for ENGLISH windows.

expandcollapse popup

#include "..\UIAWrappers.au3"

AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)

;~ Start the application
Run("notepad.exe")
Sleep(1000)

#REGION UIA_LOGICAL_NAMES
;~ Give logical names
;~ _UIA_setVar("notepad.mainwindow","title:=((Naamloos.*Kladblok)|(.*Notepad));classname:=Notepad")
_UIA_setVar("notepad.mainwindow","title:=Notepad; classname:=Notepad")
_UIA_setVar("notepad.mainwindow.edit","title:=; classname:=Edit")

;~ When closing when text is changed
_UIA_setVar("Notepad.closewindow","title:=Notepad; classname:=#32770")
;~ The three buttons
_UIA_setVar("Notepad.closewindow.Save","title:=Save;classname:=CCPushButton")
_UIA_setVar("Notepad.closewindow.Don'tSave","title:=Don't Save;classname:=CCPushButton")
_UIA_setVar("Notepad.closewindow.Cancel","title:=Cancel; classname:=CCPushButton")
#ENDREGION

#REGION ACTIONS
;~ Do some actions on the logical named objects
_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow","setfocus")
_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow","move",300,300)
_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow","resize",300,300)
_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow","minimize",300,300)
_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow","maximize",300,300)
_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow","resize",400,400)

_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow.edit","setfocus")
_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow.edit","setvalue","set value: hello world")
_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow.edit","type","type command: hello world")

_UIA_action("notepad.mainwindow","close",400,400)
if _UIA_action("Notepad.closewindow","exists") Then
    _UIA_action("Notepad.closewindow.Don'tSave","click")
Else
EndIf
#ENDREGION

for some reason, you must sleep a second after running. it only works every time if you already have notepad running unless you sleep. I tried WinActivate for notepad but it still does nothing. So, it works if you place a sleep after the run

maybe @junkew could assist in understanding this.

I noticed the browser automation always need external tool/file and doing external action from autoIT. That may need more time to be executed. 

That was my case when i tested (I am learning browsers automation too) i noticed the same thing as you. 

 

But i am using WebDriver. So it s maybe not the same "issue".

[Earthshine]

it's just timing for sure. I just don't like having to use static sleep and was too lazy to write a routine to dynamically wait for the example. as it was written by junkew, it just runs and then attempts to automate notepad, but that is why there is no object, it's not fully up yet. and so it fails. but my code runs for me on Win7 and Win10 64 bit every time.

like i said, I thought WinActivate was enough, but it wasn't, the sleep was
