Select and activate icon in window


Recommended Posts

I am trying to select and open Display Properties from the control panel.

I can open the control panel by

run("control panel")

How can I select the 'Display' Icon and then open it?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

Do you mean something like this?

run("control panel")
Sleep(250)
Send("{down}")
Sleep(250)
Send("{Enter}")

When you are in Details View

So long,

I think a proper workaround would be to do Send ("d") twice (or however many times it takes to select the Display icon), and then Send ("{ENTER}").

I agree with you, but my Windows is German and then it is "Ansicht" instead of Display. :lmao:

So, the key to press depends on the language. Nevertheless it´s better to press the letter in lieu of "down down left " or something like this.

So long,

I could see it launced rundll32.exe and was trying to use that.

forgot about control.exe

If your purpose was to change screen resolution you might check out this post by psandu.ro. It worked great for me (after being told it requires Beta).
