New user -- Get-AU3ControlHandle broken?

[techburgher]

Hello,

I am simply trying to click the Login button on a window, using AutoIt with Powershell -- and it is not working!

Here is the control information:

>>>> Control <<<<
Class:    WindowsForms10.STATIC.app.0.13965fa_r18_ad1
Instance:    4
ClassnameNN:    WindowsForms10.STATIC.app.0.13965fa_r18_ad14
Name:    linkLogin
Advanced (Class):    [NAME:linkLogin]
ID:    2756140
Text:    Login
Position:    375, 149
Size:    42, 17
ControlClick Coords:    7, 12
Style:    0x5601000D
ExStyle:    0x00000000
Handle:    0x00000000002A0E2C
 

$hWnd = Wait-AU3WinActive -Title "Noble Login" -Timeout 5

$hLogin = Get-AU3ControlHandle -WinHandle $hWnd -Control "Login"

Invoke-AU3ControlClick -WinHandle $hWnd -ControlHandle $hLogin

hWnd correctly receives a value, but hLogin never does! What is wrong with the call to Get-AU3ControlHandle?

Thank you!

Shouldn't you be using the control's name instead of it's text, ie --

$hLogin = Get-AU3ControlHandle -WinHandle $hWnd -Control "linkLogin"

Per the documentation, using the control name is not a valid way of referencing a control:

Quote

 

Using the AutoIt Window Info Tool you can move your mouse around the window you are interested in and you will be given information of the control that is currently under your mouse. Information on controls is given in a number of ways, these are:

• Control ID
• ClassNameNN
• Text

Which documentation are you quoting?

FWIW, I was basing my code on the example found here.
