CrewXp Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hey, I've searched over about 40 pages of results for this topic, but can't find an answer. I'm ALMOST done!! I'm making a program that auto-installs a program. And I want to have it hidden from the user during installation. Smoke helped me figure that part out. But once it's hidden, it seems like the program either can't WinWait for a Window that I just hid.... or it can't send a control to a window that's been hidden. Run ("C:\Program Files\CrewKit\CDevKit\CDevKitinstall.exe") WinWait("CDevKit Setup", "Welcome to CDevKit Setup Wizard") TrayTip("", "Step1", 5) $hWnd = WinGetHandle("CDevKit Setup", "Welcome to CDevKit Setup Wizard") WinSetState($hWnd, "",@SW_HIDE) ControlSend("CDevKit Setup","","&Next >","{SPACE}") ;WinActivate($Window) WinWait("CDevKit Setup", "License Agreement") TrayTip("", "Step2.", 5) ControlFocus ("CDevKit Setup" , "" , "Button9") ControlSend ("CDevKit Setup" , "" , "Button9" , "{SPACE}") ControlSend("CDevKit Setup","","&Next >","{SPACE}") WinWait("CDevKit Setup", "Options") TrayTip("", "Step3", 5) It always displays Step1 in the traytip... so I know it can't get to Step2.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 13, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2007 Are you sure the text doesn't change when you toggle to different windows? Is it a child window? You may look at Opt('WinSearchChildren', 1) and Opt('WinDetectHiddenText', 1) (Just in case it has hidden text. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 14, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 14, 2007 ControlSend("CDevKit Setup","","&Next >","{SPACE}")I just scrolled up and noticed that quickly (didn't look through the rest when I saw it).... That's not the ControlID or the ClassNameNN Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

CrewXp Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) lol.... I wonder why it worked...? The Control Send command works when it's active with the code above, and for some reason, it works when it's hidden too. I paused my script before I un-hide commanded it, and it was already on Step2. It just couldn't detect the window. lol. Edited March 14, 2007 by CrewXp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrewXp Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Okay, I just saw that "Welcome to CDevKit Setup Wizard" in my WinWait command is seen in the "Hidden Text" field after using SW_HIDE on the window... Before it was in the "Visible Text" area. Is there any way to work around that? WinWaitActiveHidden.. or something? I can usually think of something right about now, but am brain dead from coding the rest of my script. I can't really use the Opt code you posted above, because I'm not really sure how that will help me. It detects Hidden Text, but I'm pretty sure the text will be hidden the whole time after using SW_HIDE.... so it can't really wait for the Window that way. Augh!! I'm stuck.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 15, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2007 Opt('WinDetectHiddenText', 1) Try that at the top of your script.
