raquien Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Can someone tell me why the window spy cannot identify the controls in the Print dialogue. Here's what I did: Open MS Word document.. Hit Ctrl + P to show the Print Dialog Hover the mouse over this Dialog, notice that AutoIt Window Spy does not identify any of the controls. I feel bad, because I can't act directly to the controls in my script, and I am forced to use MouseClick() which requires the dialog to be active.. please help me.. thanks in advance.. raquien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hi, If you are using Word, why not record or program an Macro for it ? Andre What about Windows without using AutoIt ?It would be the same as driving a car without an steering Wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raquien Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 Maybe this would help me when using MSWord, but my problem is when I am using application that doesn't have macro recording capability. I am doing a script that will automate my Printer Application Testing. thanks for the reply though, anymore suggestions please.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

this-is-me Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 The problem with office is that it uses "picture controls", therefore most controls cannot be accessed. Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
