Scrubby Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi All, I'd like to automate closing down SciTE with a script by clicking on the File|Exit menu.. or any items on the file menu for that matter.... When I hover over it with Au3Info, it doesn't return a control ID or classname for that control. (I don't want to use key strokes...) I've successfully automated it in the past using auto3Lib and accidentally deleted that script So was wondering if anyone could quickly remind me which functions in the auto3Lib actually work with Menus like this.. thanks!

Scrubby Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Why not WinClose? Because I'm not actually trying to close the editor as much as I'm trying to figure out how to drive the menus. I want to be able to select any item on the menu, but without a control id or classname I can't use the traditional methods. I've done it successfully in the past using functions in auto3Lib where I select the HWND of the window and then the indexes of as many child pop ups as I want, I just can't find that function, I was hoping someone else here knew how to do it!Thanks!Scrubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was missing the handle to the file menu. I finally found the function that gets that for me. It's called _Menu_GetMenu($hwnd). Once I had that, it was a simple plug into the _Menu_ClickItem function call in the Auto3Lib library and I was up accessing menus! Yeah!!!Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
