how can I get control inthis window if class and handle of window changes every time

[Rossi46]

Hello,

I am new user in Autoit ,I want know how can i select the required file from the "E-drive"as shown in picture if class name and handle of window changes every time when i open that folder ,I was using simple mouse click command but it doesn't provide me the required results.

i want to open file from E-drive and check that the correct file is opened up or not.

Please help.

You can add more than one parameter to check a window, even the size can be used, so if you add multiple ones, that are constant, it will find the correct window.

In Window Titles and Text (Advanced):

e.g. Wait for the 2nd instance of a window with title "My Window" and classname "My Class"

WinWaitActive("[TITLE:My Window; CLASS:My Class; INSTANCE:2]", "")

Seems to me that the title of the window is pretty standard and fix.  So a basic 

$hWnd = WinWaitActive ("Open","",10) ; wait 10 secs till the window appears
if not $hWnd then Exit Msgbox (0,"","Error couldn't find window")

should work.

And there's the regex that could be made to match the first part of the class, up to ".exe", I think from there on, is where it changes.

Can you get the control for the input path and the open button?

If so, you can then just paste the path for the file you want and then press open.

In that window I have access to window title only ,even though when i click on E-drive title ,handle ,class never changes and using autoit windows info tool when i checked for control of window It shows nothing

Many new applications cannot be automated with classic code. You need UI Automation code that has been Microsoft's automation platform in the last 15 years. Read Using UI Automation Code in AutoIt. Then use one of the spy tools to check if UIA-code can identify the controls in the window.
