Quincunx Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I just started using AutoIt yesterday, but I'm not new to automation. My litmus test was to create a script that can launch the app I'm testing and open a dialog box that's used for most of the functionality. However, to access the dialog box I need to activate a TreeView control. After searching the forums, it seems that AutoIt does not have this capability, and my main question is if this can be confirmed. I did see that a couple of users (tweast and Fur) have created a DLL that fills this gap, so I'll check that out if needed. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something in the documentation. Just from my short experience yesterday, I couldn't get ControlCommand-SelectString to function with my combo-box, as stated in the help file. I did find a work-around, but I'm evaluating this tool for a large automation project and don't want to use work-arounds constantly (better to find a tool that just works). I would appreciate any input that users have to give me on: 1. TreeView controls (testing them, not creating them with the UD functions) 2. Why would CommandControl-SelectString have issues with a MS Combo-box (or has that feature never worked) Other than those issues, so far, I've been really impressed with what's been done here. I used to automate tests using Visual Test (4.0 and 6.0), and AutoIt feels very familiar to that environment. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get stuck, drop me a line in the Auto3Lib thread in the Examples forum. Auto3Lib: A library of over 1200 functions for AutoIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked at it yet, will have to next week sometime, but it looks to be the solution I was looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedna Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 2. Why would CommandControl-SelectString have issues with a MS Combo-box (or has that feature never worked)MS often uses proprietal controls (not standard ones). Look at it's ClassName via Au3Info tool.I made little script for MS Exchange and there is such proprietal Combobox too So I finnaly used WinGetText() ControlSend()It's classname is "REComboBox20W1" - I think it's some sort of Microsofts RichEditCombobox.
