Noob Question...


Recommended Posts

can someone please post some sample code of a program install... I am stuck on the parts after launching the .exe. I want to be able to provide all information during setup so I do not have to input anything. I know how to get the window titles using window spy. I need some guidance on selecting the window and filling it the data in different fields. Thx in advance.

Here is a script that opens two notepad windows and names them program and info dump

WinMinimizeAll()

;minimizes all open windows

run("notepad","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

;runs notepad and maximizes it, same as start run and typing in notepad

winwait("Untitled - Notepad")

;waits for the window called "Untitled - Notepad" to exist

WinSetTitle ("","","Program" )

;change the current window to be called "program"

run("notepad","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

winwait("Untitled - Notepad")

WinSetTitle ("","","Info Dump" )

All the windows are found by just looking at the title bar

Help

;;so what i am trying to do persay is to, launch nero.exe, and when the intial window shows up i would like to select the "No Multisession" button as listed above, just because i want something other than the default so i know it's working. Please submit some sample code on how i can accomplish this, so i can continue exploring this program. I am lost at this point, i don't know where to use cntrl click and cntrl send, or what the syntax should look like. I haven't been able to find any example code. Please HELP!

This is no perfect code, but it should get you started. I did not test this code but there should be no real errors:

;First line: start nero.exe
Run("nero.exe")

; Wait until the window appears
If not WinWait("New Compilation", "", 60) Then
  ; Show an error message
    MsgBox(4096, "Timed out", 'The window "New compilation" did not show up within 60 seconds!')
  ; And exit the script after showing the message
    Exit(1)
EndIf

; Simulate a mouseclick on the control "Button3"
ControlClick("New Compilation", "", "Button3")

you may want to add a winactivate after the winwait, oh, wait, it's a command click... don't have to wait... exept that I noticed on mine that it doesn't immediately allow the control to be clicked, so you may want to put in a 1 second pause or something.... (another interesting note, on mine, the spy shows the command as Button4, not Button3) You can also Control Click by text and not classname, if cross-version support matters (like it's for more than just you?)

WinWait ("New Compilation","", 5)

WinWait does exactly what the name suggests: Wait until a window appears. If it already exists, the command will just continue. Use Sleep(5000) instead.

; Simulate a mouseclick on the control "Button3"

ControlClick("No Multisession", "", "Button3")

Here you're telling AutoIt to simulate a click in the window "No Multisession" on the control named Button3. I don't use Nero but according to what you've pasted, the window is not named "No Multisession" but "New Compilation", so I guess you want

ControlClick("New Compilation", "", "No Multisession")

You might need to change the text "No Multisession" in the command so that every underlined character is preceded with an &.

@emmanuel: Thanks, didn't know I could just click "on the description"

sugi...for some reason if the script is executed it wont run the controlclick all the time...if the window is launched to the foreground it will work maybe 1 out of 10 (and that's pushn it)...but if launched in the background, it will be more consistent...any ideas?
