Updating drivers automatically

[Rodolfo99]

Hi!

I'm trying to update Windows drivers from device manager, but when i arrive to the screen 'How do you want to search drivers?" with two options: Automatically or in the PC, the commands i've tried: Send, ControlSend don't work. When i close this windows manually and i open again it works, but i can't continue in the first time.

I call the updating button directly in the toolbar because other ways don't work as sending keys

The code is translated from spanish (Device Manager -> Administrador de dispositivos)

#RequireAdmin

#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#Include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

;run device manager
Run("mmc devmgmt.msc")
WinWaitActive("Device Manager")

;get the right device
$hTree = ControlGetHandle("Device Manager", "", "[Class:SysTreeView32;Instance:1]")
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTree, "Intel(R) 82578 Gigabit Network Connection")
;select the right device
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTree, $hItem, $TVGN_CARET)

; Focus treeview and Send Enter and right-click and select uninstal
ControlFocus("Device Manager", "", $hTree)

ControlCommand("Device Manager","","ToolbarWindow321","SendCommandID",24) ; WORKS OK. OPEN THE WINDOWS TO UPDATING

; DON'T WORK

WinWaitActive("Updating drivers - Intel(R) 82578 Gigabit Network Connection","");
ControlSend("Updating drivers - Intel(R) 82578 Gigabit Network Connection","","Button4","{SPACE}");
Send("{SPACE}")

Working with the focus, opening the Updating Windows it seems to work. The menu of actions was incomplete until i click on the network driver, and i try it sending de mouseclick and moving with keyboard arrows.

Here is the code:

 

#RequireAdmin
#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#Include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

;run device manager
Run("mmc devmgmt.msc")
WinWaitActive("Administrador de dispositivos")

;get the right device
$hTree = ControlGetHandle("Device Manager", "", "[Class:SysTreeView32;Instance:1]")
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTree, "Intel(R) 82578 Gigabit Network Connection")
;select the right device
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTree, $hItem, $TVGN_CARET)

; Focus treeview and Send Enter and right-click and select uninstal
ControlFocus("Device Manager", "", $hTree)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT)
ControlFocus("Device Manager", "", $hTree)
WinWait("Device Manager")
Send("{HOME}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}")
WinWait("Device Manager")
Send("!cz") ; Here is the keys in spanish version

WinWait("Update drivers - Intel(R) 82578 Gigabit Network Connection")
Send("{SPACE}")

WinWait("Update drivers - Intel(R) 82578 Gigabit Network Connection","Windows finali")
Send("{SPACE}")
WinClose("Device Manager")
Exit

This is working for me :

#RequireAdmin
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y

#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#Include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <GuiTab.au3>

;run device manager
Run("mmc devmgmt.msc")
Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:MMCMainFrame]")
WinActivate ($hWnd)
WinWaitActive ($hWnd)

;get the right device
Local $hTree = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", "SysTreeView321")
Local $hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTree, "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller")
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTree, $hItem, $TVGN_CARET)

; Focus treeview and Send Enter and right-click and select uninstal
ControlFocus($hWnd, "", $hTree)
ControlSend($hWnd,"",$hTree,"{ENTER}") ; WORKS OK.

Local $hWnd2 = WinWait ("[CLASS:#32770]")
Local $hTab = ControlGetHandle($hWnd2, "", "SysTabControl321")
Local $iTab = _GUICtrlTab_FindTab ($hTab, "Pilote")
_GUICtrlTab_ClickTab ($hTab, $iTab)
Sleep (800)
ControlClick ($hWnd2, "", "Button2")
Local $hWnd3 = WinWait ("[CLASS:NativeHWNDHost]")
Local $hButton = ControlGetHandle ($hWnd3, "", "Button4")
ConsoleWrite ($hButton & @CRLF)
ControlClick ($hWnd3, "", $hButton)

ps. when posting code, use this tool.

windows updates already do this work. why bother?

[Rodolfo99]

Thank you. I'll try because my solution is for machine deployment and the driver installed by default is not working for some characteristics in the network device.

Thank you for the advice for the code too.

I'm testing now and i'll tell you something tomorrow.

Finally, I modified the focus to navigate with the arrows and it works well.

Thank you for the help!

 

The code is here:

#RequireAdmin
#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#Include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>


;run device manager
Run("mmc devmgmt.msc")
WinActive("Device Manager")
WinWaitActive("Device Manager")

;get the right device
$hTree = ControlGetHandle("Device Manager", "", "[Class:SysTreeView32;Instance:1]")
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTree, "Network Adapters")
;select the right device
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTree, $hItem, $TVGN_CARET)

; Focus treeview and Send Enter and right-click and select uninstal
ControlFocus("Device Manager", "", $hTree)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT)
;ControlFocus("Device Manager", "", $hTree)
WinWait("Device Manager")
Send("{HOME}{DOWN}{DOWN}{RIGHT}{RIGHT}")
WinWait("Device Manager")
Send("!cz")


WinWait("Update drivers - Intel(R) 82578 Gigabit Network Connection")
Send("{SPACE}")

WinWait("Update drivers - Intel(R) 82578 Gigabit Network Connection","Windows finali")
Send("{SPACE}")
WinClose("Device Manager")
Exit
