Yet Another WinInfo

Hi!

There are times when the Autoit Window Info is not sufficient to ensure a control is in fact the control reported. This occured to me particularly while trying to automate wizards (add new software, hardware, update, etc).

I got so sick of wizards that I developed grabber, to help me automate wizards.

requirements:

1) preferably latest autoit beta or new release v3.2.0.1

2) Captdll v2.zip (Thanks to Lazycat)

Instructions:

1) download Grabber.au3

2) place it on the same folder as captdll.dll

3) run Grabber.au3

4) clic the Data button AND THEN click the window you want to grab. The info of active button and active static controls is reported to the main edit on grabber and saved as a text file to a captured folder on the desktop.

5) click the All button AND THEN click on the window you want to grab. This saves both the data and a jpg of the active window.

6) There's also an exit button, except that it's called Chao! Just adding some humour here.

PS: Grabber can be used with any window, not just those stated above

Modifications: clarified the instructions on the main edit

hope you like it

Grabber.au3

Not a single comment, 6 downloads and 50 odd views?

Shame, it probably looks poor, but if you don't believe me, try launching an "Add new hardware wizard"

Run("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hdwwiz.cpl")

and place the mouse over the next button. What does AutoIt Wininfo read?

Answer: The Finish button. That's why I hate wizards!

Grabber will report a list of control handles, control text and control ids from the entire window, as locng as they are active (visible and enabled). I limited the report to button and static controls on purpose, so that I would have sufficient but not excessive data to ensure a window+control match to perform the automation tasks.

sandyd:

thanks for the comment. I think I've found a minor bug if the window that is being grabbed ceases to exist before all the data is collected in a 2 dim array.

I'll fix this by testing the window variable for type handle. Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to.

Any ideas would be forthcoming.

I'm getting an error:

I get the same if you click on a non-window item, (icon)

:P Add If not isarray($array) then continueloop somewhere so that when you click on something accidentally, the program doesn't terminate

@eynstyne & @Ryan Grelck:

I am quite aware of this error, as it occurs on the matching procedure.

I am working on a handler for this error, which basically indicates no window or controls to match.

eynstyne I'll set the array test and continue the loop.

The other stuff I'm working on is a friendlier gui and a menu, so you can select the folder where you want to store your text and jpg files.

Above all, thanks for taking a look at it and for providing comments, criticisms or suggestions.

Hi Ivan

Thanks for uploaded your code. I am trying to compile your code and I get the following error.

\autoitscript\grabber\Grabber.au3(24,85) : ERROR: $DS_SETFOREGROUND: undeclared global variable.

$IpSpyGui = GUICreate("Grabber", 400, 300, @DesktopWidth - 400, 0, $DS_SETFOREGROUND,

I have the three files, captdll.dll, capture_demo.au3 and Grabber.au3 in the same folder. I am using version 3.2.12.1 of AutoIt, am I missing something?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, that won't be necessary. I have manage to solve that problem that required me to have a more in depth Info tool.

Thanks
