First Timer have a question

[Casper2400]

Before I download this program and read through hours of help topics I would like to know.

I am going on vacation in a few weeks and want to run a script once a week.

I will have 3 programs running.

I want to close the 3 programs currently running

open a new program

click launch button...wait

click I agree button...wait for update to finish

close this program

open another program

enter password

click go button

end until next time to run.

I will run the script as a scheduled task for once a week to auto run the script.

Can autoit do this?

Thasnk you in advance

Welcome to the forum.

AutoIt can* do it, the question is can you script it :-)

*Caveat: there are a few apps/games that might resist automation.

Thank you Paulie that helps a lot and I have downloaded the program and began to play with it. It is quite simple and I cant believe how easy it is. However I am stuck on one of your quotes...

I asked to launch a program then wait for an update list to be loaded.

It then will ask to agree... how do I know what time to wait here? the update list size and download times will vary from week to week.

I opened the active window and it gives the same name so a winwait feature is not reading.

Also after each update each week the program version changes so I wont know the window title screen name.

any way around this?

Do they have the same text return? You could use the 2nd parameter to make sure you have the right window, or you could get complex and use ProcessList()+WinList() etc... I've made a _WinGetByExe() (I think, or something like that).

Valuater has a nice thread of AutoIt wrappers that may help you as well:

What I am opening is a game called magic the gathering online.

every thursday they shut down the servers to do an update (usually down for 1 hour)

What I want to do is run this script each week 10am pst.

when I open magic.exe first screen appears and waits to depress "launch button (I sucessfully got this to work in autoit)

after clicking launch it will download and check a few files to see if they need an update.

after this is done it will now ask "I agree" the window name is the same as the first, process name is still the same, etc.

I want autoit to know when the new screen appears.. it is same name but the screen is the EULA (end user license agreement, I tried to set it to recognize a key word but that didnt work)the window completly changes adds scrollbar etc... but autoit dont see it, it just presses the button (mouse x,y I set) and does nothing (as the button was not available when it clicked)

[Casper2400]

After some working and thinking I just added a time delay as if it needed the whole file (it may wait longer sometimes but its ok)

now im stuck on a second part...

when I click log on if it logs on no problem but...

if server is down a pop up will happen saying server unavailable... I cant set a time for this one, I actually need autoit to respond IF this box opens...

any help is welcomed.

Thank you

Here is the code I currently have (very simplified)

Anyone wishing to copy this bear in mind the coords are all set to MY screen settings.

Run ( "C:\Program Files\Wizards of the Coast\Magic Online\magic.exe" );start mtgo update
WinWaitActive("Magic Online Install/Update Agent","", 20 )
MouseClick ( "left", 698, 411, 1, 0 );clicks launch button

WinWaitActive("Magic Online Install/Update Agent", "")
Sleep ( 18000 )
MouseClick ( "left", 455, 622, 1, 0 );clicks I agree button
Sleep ( 1000 )
WinWaitActive("Magic Online V2.", "")
Sleep ( 1000 )
WinSetState ( "Magic Online V2.", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE  )
MouseClick ( "left", 422, 366, 1, 0 );clicks inputs username
Send ("username")
Sleep ( 1000 )
MouseClick ( "left", 422, 417, 1, 0 );clicks inputs password
Send ("password")
Sleep ( 1000 )
MouseClick ( "left", 500, 450, 1, 0 );clicks Log On button
Sleep ( 1000 )

The above works fine and great (except I have not yet figured the IF statement for server unavailable (failed log in)

Below is the next step from above to below it will not wait till logged on... how can I set autoit to recognize when actually connected?

MouseClick ( "left", 339, 35, 1, 0 );clicks Collection Tab
Sleep ( 1000 )
MouseClick ( "left", 200, 330, 1, 0 );clicks Reset Tab

Sleep ( 1000 )
MouseClick ( "left", 500, 420, 1, 0 );clicks "Check" (Yes log off) Button
Sleep ( 2000 )
MouseClick ( "left", 1015, 10, 1, 0 );close magic.exe
Sleep ( 1000 )
Exit

on the above, there will be times of "lag" or slow response, how can I make autoit know the buttons and selections are there and ready to be selected?

Thank you all

1) for click on button instead

MouseClick ( "left", 698, 411, 1, 0 );clicks launch buttonoÝ÷ Úëjëh×6ControlClick() ; --> info about ControlID get from AU3Info.exe

2) For handle popup windows use AdlibEnable()

[Casper2400]

ControlClick() ; --> info about ControlID get from AU3Info.exe ???

With this game all of the "Control Under Mouse" items:

Size, Control ID, ClassNameNN, Text are blank. NO information there.

With AdlibEnable () for pop ups and errors I would need to know winactive... in this game all active windows are the same name.

Here is what I have so far... I still cannot get any information on each ot the 3 windows that open

(all have same name).

If anyone here plays MTGO start magic.exe and you will see the 3 screens I am reffering to.

If you know how or where to get the information for these windows so I can make wait itmes more accuate.

Also all of the mousclicks are based on my screen and x,y coords..

if there is a way to know the buttons so if the server is slow to respond the scripts will wait

till it actually does the requested action.

I tried the windows info and all information is unchanged between windows and most is blank.

Any help is appreciated.
