amokoura Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have an Access application that has a form I'm supposed to control with Autoit. Most of the form controls have "OnEvent"-properties set, so I can't just change field values straightly through COM -> it wouldn't trigger the events. For example there's an input box that requires mouse clicking before entering data, otherwise the program wouldn't work as expected. The question is: Is there a way to simulate these events without using Autoit's mouse/key simulation? VBA's own functions/methods? sendmessage()?

DaleHohm Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Internet Explorer COM has a .fireEvent method that can be applied to any object - I expect the other office apps have the same, but you'll have to look atht eh Object Model docs.

DaleHohm Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Couldn't find any.You're right... nor could I.You can assign focus, but not much else.I did read that there is a way to inquire what action is associated with a particular event on a particular object however -- whis would allow you to trigger the action manually rather than create a synthetic event.Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?
