Just Can't Figure Out How To Use Calnnnamenn Or Controlid From Script

[Jani S.]

Hi you all gurus,

I just can't figure it out myself how to use ControlID or CalssNameNN to cotrol for example Windows Media Player.

The thing I'd like to do is that I want to use either one of ClassName or ControlID to locate what button will "pressed" next from script.

This is what I want to do (example):

- Open Media Player Classic (or some other program)

- Press File from to menu (CalssName is ScrollBar1) --> Press Open File from menu(ClassName is Edit1)

BR,

First you want to use the "AutoIt v3 Active Window Info" program that is installed with AutoIt3. Use that to find the Window name, button names, control id's etc. However, with Media Player Classic, all you need to do is send a CTRL-O to open a file dialog:

run("c:\program files\media player classic")
winwait("Media Player Classic")
send("^O")
msgbox(1,"Notice","Did it!")

To send a controlclick to a button, you can try this:

;run("c:\program files\mediaplayerclassic\mpc.exe");run media player classic - use your path
;winwait("Media Player Classic"); wait until it's open
WinActivate("Media Player Classic"); bring up the mpc screen if it's not already up
Send("!vO")
WinWait("Options")
for $i = 1 to 10
    controlclick("Options","Open options",1044)
    Sleep(500)
    controlclick("Options","Open options",1045)
Next
