Message Box - Controlclick returns success but the message box remains - (Moved)

[ChethanSG]

Hello Team,

I am working on automating an installer package which prompts with a msgbox (yes/no) type in between.

Auto it finds the message box and the Controlclick commands returns 1 but the message box continue to stay. 

 

Summary of the Control I am trying to click:

>>>> Window <<<<
Title:    Install Finished
Class:    #32770
Position:    481, 173
Size:    357, 335
Style:    0x94C801C5
ExStyle:    0x00010101
Handle:    0x00D10362

>>>> Control <<<<
Class:    Button
Instance:    1
ClassnameNN:    Button1
Name:    
Advanced (Class):    [CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]

Position:    149, 259

&No

Would you like to restart Tomcat server now?

>>>> Hidden Text <<<<

 

So far i have tried these options but none gave me result:

#RequireAdmin is set

Method 1:

WinWait("Install Finished", "")
WinActivate("Install Finished", "")
ControlFocus("Install Finished", "",6)
ControlSend("Install Finished", "",6, "{Enter}")

Method 2:

WinWait("Install Finished", "")

WinActivate("Install Finished", "")
ControlFocus("Install Finished", "",6)
$Success=ControlClick("Install Finished", "", 6, "left", 1)
Switch $Success
    Case 0
        MsgBox(16,"Autoit","ControlClick Failed")
    Case 1
        MsgBox(0,"Autoit","ControlClick Success")
EndSwitch
 

Note: This method returns 1(success) but nothing happens on the screen

Method 3:

WinSetState("Install Finished", "", @SW_ENABLE)
WinActive("Install Finished", "")
ControlSend("Install Finished", "", 6, "{ENTER}")
Sleep(250)
$title2 = "Install Finished"; the message title
If WinExists($title2) Then
        WinActivate($title2)
        $check=WinWaitActive($title2)
        If($check) Then
           $yesHandle = ControlGetHandle($check, '', "[TEXT:&Yes]")
           ControlClick($check, "", $yesHandle)
         If($yesHandle) Then
             ControlFocus($yesHandle, "",6)
              ControlClick($yesHandle, "",6)
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMODAL, "", $yesHandle)
        EndIf
    EndIf
  EndIf

Method 4:

WinWaitActive("Install Finished", "")

ControlClick ("[CLASS:#32770]", "&Yes", 6, "left", 1)

 

Method 5:

WinActivate("Install Finished", "")
$handle = WinGetHandle("Install Finished", "&Yes")
ControlSend("Install Finished","&Yes",$handle,"!y")

Send("{Space}")

While True
   if WinExists("Install Finished", "") Then
      WinActivate("Install Finished", "")

      Send("{Space}")
   EndIf
   WEnd
ControlClick("Install Finished", "", "[Class:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

None of these are closing the message box successfully even though the click is a success- Is there anything i am missing?

Highlighting summary

Something like this?

WinWait("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Install Finished]", "Would you like to restart Tomcat server now?")
ControlClick("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Install Finished]", "Would you like to restart Tomcat server now?", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

You'll want to make sure you read the help file for the title definition and control definition

typo in code

Do you happen to have multiple windows with that title?

[caramen]

HEllo

Can you try this and say us?

WinWait("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Install Finished]", "Would you like to restart Tomcat server now?")
Sleep(500)
ControlClick("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Install Finished]", "Would you like to restart Tomcat server now?", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]","left",1)

Same result as earlier, the msg box doesnt close.

The problem is not about identifying and clicking.

The problem is even after the click is success (1 returned by ControlClick), the window remains and doesnot close at all!

 

This is a msgbox of  (Yes/No) type. And Yes button is having an id 6

Adding few more information

[Nine]

If you can't find a solution, then why don't you kill that window and restart the server yourself...big problem requires big solution 

[caramen]

nvm -.-

This msgbox is displayed by a Wix Installer. I cant even kill this msgbox-even that fails. Killing process means killing the Installation itself. Note that this comes in the middle of installation, still few more steps are left before a complete installation. 

Very much required to address this, ,as this is going to be part of CI/CD Automated build deployments and Tests for every check-in

[caramen]

Why not a 

WinWait

WinMove

Then MouseClick

[Gianni]

... following attempt seems to be missing, it is worth trying ...

Local $hWinHandle = WinWait("Install Finished")
ControlClick($hWinHandle, "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")

Since this is an MSI you should install it silently

Thanks, I went ahead with Silent install. 

Still why the script was unable to perform the action is  a mystery
