Using _GUICtrlTab_ActivateTab

[ARPFre]

 

Good morning, can someone teach me how to use _GUICtrlTab_ActivateTab or explain to me why it doesn't work?

I looked for help on the internet, but they are very specific to IE or other browsers.

I'm wanting to open the TaskManager in Tab 02 (Performance / "Desempenho" ), but it doesn't work, and it doesn't return an error.

 

 

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiTab.au3>

#RequireAdmin
$hWnd =  Run("taskmgr.exe")

$hWnd  =  WinWaitActive ("[CLASS:TaskManagerWindow]", "")

WinActivate ( $hWnd )

_GUICtrlTab_ActivateTab ( $hWnd, 2)

You need to use the Tab handle in ActivateTab.

 

;~ #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
#RequireAdmin
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiTab.au3>

Local $iPID = Run("taskmgr.exe")
Local $hWnd = WinWaitActive("[CLASS:TaskManagerWindow]", "")
WinActivate($hWnd)
Local $hTab = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", "SysTabControl321")
_GUICtrlTab_ActivateTab($hTab, 1)

You could also set the default startup tab for taskmanager in its' Options menu,
or manipulate the registry where it saves it's options:

in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TaskManager

Modify the REG_DWORD named StartUpTab
Values range from 0 to 6 for tabs from left to right.
(checked this on Win 10 21H2)

Thank you very much,

It worked 90%, now I think it's a Windows error.

When you switch to the performance tab, the application does not accept it, that is, it marks only the tab and the part below remains unchanged.

I think it's ugly, but I'll adapt with Send Right and Left.

Change _GUICtrlTab_ActivateTab for _GUICtrlTab_ClickTab.

Yes, it worked correctly.

Thanks, I didn't know about this resource, I'm learning a lot from these forums, it's almost my only source.

From what I was reading the "ControlGetHandle" can be used for any handle, so I can click and manipulate the applications?

  And where did "SysTabControl321" come from?

ons?

Yes it works for any Window Common Control.
