MOUSECLICK & SEND Command

[TMTYL]

Hi,

When I try to use MOUSECLICK ("Left") or SEND ("&E{RETURN}"), the command seems not working. I want to double click the button to execute type pical application setup. The setup program has many button, each button is an option to install typical application.

Enclosed is my portion of the script that I want to run. Please help.

=======================================

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)

Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)

Opt("MouseCoordMode",2)

DriveMapAdd( "X:", "\\vhawlamul13\xfiles\dental\voice_6_5_0_18\", 9, "domain\username", "password")

Run ("X:\CDSetup.exe" )

WinWait("Dictaphone Enterprise Voice Build 6.5.0.18","&Explorer")

If Not WinActive("Dictaphone Enterprise Voice Build 6.5.0.18","&Explorer") Then WinActivate("Dictaphone Enterprise Voice Build 6.5.0.18","&Explorer")

;WinWaitActive("Dictaphone Enterprise Voice Build 6.5.0.18","&Explorer")

;WinMenuSelectItem("Dictaphone Enterprise Voice Build 6.5.0.18", "", "&Explorer" )

Send ("{TAB}") ; try to get focus to this button

MouseClick ("left") ; try double click to

MouseClick ("left")

MouseDown("left")

MouseUp("left")

Sleep(1000)

;Send ("&E{RETURN}") I try this command too, but nothing happend

WinWait("Enterprise Express Voice Explorer - InstallShield Wizard","The InstallShield® W")

If Not WinActive("Enterprise Express Voice Explorer - InstallShield Wizard","The InstallShield® W") Then WinActivate("Enterprise Express Voice Explorer - InstallShield Wizard","The InstallShield® W")

WinWaitActive("Enterprise Express Voice Explorer - InstallShield Wizard","The InstallShield® W")

Send ("&N") ; send Next

WinWait("Enterprise Express Voice Explorer - InstallShield Wizard","Please enter your na")

If Not WinActive("Enterprise Express Voice Explorer - InstallShield Wizard","Please enter your na") Then WinActivate("Enterprise Express Voice Explorer - InstallShield Wizard","Please enter your na")

WinWaitActive("Enterprise Express Voice Explorer - InstallShield Wizard","Please enter your na")

=========================================================

Is that WinWaitActive command is waiting for command to send or just set focus to the windows and do nothing?

Thanks in advanace

Use [code/autoit] tags to post codes please

Anyway, I think one problem is you are using advanced ('Wintitlematchmode', 4) but basic window names, try either excluding that option, or making it ('wintitlematchmode', 2)

Also, i'm not sure, but i think you're using the send function kinda wrong

Send("n"); send N
Send("{Enter}"); Sends enter

To click a button, look into controlclick, not mouseclick to get control ID's use autoit window info

to doubleclick look at mouseclick in the helpfile, it has a parameter called "clicks" which is the number of times to click

Thanks Paulie,

I have tested many command including:

ControlFocus ("Dictaphone Enterprise Voice Build 6.5.0.18", "&Explorer", 1001) ; Set focus to the button

ControlClick ("Dictaphone Enterprise Voice Build 6.5.0.18", "&Explorer", 1001, "left", 2) ; Execute the double click to the button.

but all seem not working. I must doing something wrong. I found out that during execute the setup, the focus point to the right button, but it won't response to any manually click or return from the keyboard. Only the Exit button is works. I do not know the command WINWAITACTIVE will hold the active windows until you exit or do I have to set the focus to the current windows handle? Please advice.

Thanks,

The WinwaitActive does just that, waits until focus is given to the specified window before continuing,

If you want to keep a window open with focus and pause the script until that goes away, do this

While 1
     If WinExists(*Window Name*) then
          Winactivate(*Window Name*)
     Else
          ExitLoop
     Endif
Wend

Hi Paulie,

After all attemp, I found out the problem not the SEND nor WINCONTROLCLICK .. My problem is the environment. After I map the "X:" drive to the folder where it contains all the execution files, I need to use FILECHANGEDIR command to change to that directory, and everything working. Since I am totally new to this awsome application, I am sure facing many problem. But that is what we all are learning. Thanks for the help.

Regards,
