Try this

ControlFocus ( "Select a Camera", "", "Button1" )
ControlClick ( "Select a Camera", "", "Button1")

Sometimes gui's have buttons that are build above each other. Sounds strange, but you can have that effect if you play with the settings\software\windows-components (?). At some point, you click next and get back.

Maybe you focus the ok-button and find out the control-name to press that button later.

$a = ControlGetFocus("Select a Camera")
MsgBox (0, 'Focus', 'And the winner is:'&@CR&$a)

Ok, now I know my problem. Looking at the windowInfo, therefore

(1) My original code ControlClick ( "Select a Camera", "ok", "1","Left",1 )

is wrong because "ok" and "OK" is different and the window info says the text is 'OK'. So strings are case sensitive.

(2) I also realise that in the controlclick command, under the controlID, that if I put 1 enclosed by doublequotes, than it is wrong, it wont work. The working way is this ---> ControlClick ( "Select a Camera", "OK", 1,"Left",1 )

and not this which is wrong -----> ControlClick ( "Select a Camera", "OK", "1" ,"Left",1 )

Many thanks to members and also dabus for showing me the function ControlGetFocus. Another very interesting observation I have observed.
