I am trying to automate the setup of a new dial-up connection in Windows 2000. I have tried using AutoIt but can't seem to figure out how to get around the problem of the titles not changing as you walk through the wizard. I am using AU_spy.exe to determine the Window titles but can't quite figure out what I should be using for the text parameter to differ between the windows or any other method to differ between the seperate windows in the wizard. Any help you could provide to automate this process would be greatly appreciated.

In AU_spy.exe there is a section called

>>>>>>>>>>> Visible Window Text <<<<<<<<<<<

Any text under this section is visible and can be used.

eg.

Assuming the connection wizard has started..

WinWaitActive("New Connection Wizard","Welcome to the New Connection Wizard")
ControlClick("New Connection Wizard","Welcome to the New Connection Wizard","Button6")
WinWaitActive("New Connection Wizard","&Connect to the Internet")
ControlCommand ( "New Connection Wizard", "", "Button2", "CHECK", "" )
ControlClick("New Connection Wizard","&Connect to the Internet","Button6")

This scripts clicks the NEXT button on the first window, wait for the next window, sets the second radio button to check, clicks the NEXT button.

Hope it helps

I tried this and the wizard seems to exit after each step, but the script is paused and waiting for the next step. ??????

Last line, ControlClick.... Button3. If you have a look in the AU_spy window, you will notice that Button3 is a hidden control that corresponds to the "finish" button.

The "back" button is "button1", the "Next" button is "button2".

Same applies for most of the "Wizards" windows.

Cheers
