Will AutoIT support UI

[Gmaster123]

I need some help on Autoscriptit tool. Here is my scenario.

Click the icon button on the IE toolbar.

Here the problem with this tool is that I am not able to specify the an object as an icon button, instead I have to script it using X,Y co-ordinates to detect where is the icon to click on it. So I specified ( X, Y) co-ordinates to click an icon on the IE toolbar. The co-ordination is working in my system, but when I run the same script on different machines my script is not able to detect the icon as the code is specified with x, y co-ordinates. My question is that can we do something to find the icon by the script and to work it fine or is there any other way to script as click on icon button. Please some one who faced or know about this issue help me

I am using mouse click for clicking the icon

MouseClick("Left", $size[2] - 189, 140)

MouseClick("left",$size[2] - 156,176)

Your comments will be appreciable.

Thanks in advance

You could try using the AutoIt Window Info tool to see if you can get any info on the control and then use ControlClick on it.

BTW

This post belongs in the support forum not here.

I think you want _IEAction() from IE.AU3 for full automation. You can get the UDF from: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13398.

I think this is what you are asking for. If not an idea would be to make it so your script calibrates whenever it's launched.

1. What is the 'icon button'? Are you talking about a specific button (Home, Back, Stop etc.), or any button in general in the IE toolbar?

2. Can you access the function through the menu system instead? In which case, what function is it?

3. Why aren't you using Firefox instead?

Hi Stumpii,

1.Icon button was "Google web Accelerator". Once we install the Google web accelerator(http://webaccelerator.google.com), icon will be launch on the IE/FireFox right side on the top. Problem was occurring when icon is in different location on the IE/Firefox.

a. what would be the solution to recognized the Google web accelerator icon?

b. Currently in my script, I am using X,Y co-ordination to click on the icon. Is there any other way to write the script for identifying the icon?

The toolbar that the button sits in has a unique ControlID, but the button does not, so there is no way to simply click the button.

Looked a little into the code to do it via COM and it would be a real pain. IE does not provide access to the toolbars easily (like in Excel etc.) as they are COM objects themselves.

What you could try is using the ControlGetPos function on the toolbar object and then adding 10 to the x and y coords and clicking there. As the button is at the front, it should click the button whether the toolbar is. Make sure that the ControlID of the toolbar does not change between IE sessions though.

Sorry there does not appear to be a better way.
