codenoob Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hey guys, first post here so forgive my ignorance if this is right in my face.(Kindly point me in the right direction and point and laugh!) I have some applications that I want to automate starting up and logging in and potentially replicating a "smoke test" within out testing environment. The application starts up and the log in window doesn't have a title? Its just a input field with two lines to enter; a "Please enter your name" and then a "Please enter your password" field.The cursor automatically gains focus on the first field (if that helps?) Thanks in advance, Ive been a QA Tester for 5+ years and Im trying to bring a bit more to the table by automating some of the process at my current position. Auto IT seems perfect for this type of thing! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I've run a few circles around this one myself.) Your window probably has attributes that aren't displayed. The first tool to try is AutoItInfo tool, which comes with AutoIt.Some windows (ColdFusionMX drives me crazy with it) don't use the Windows APIs, and the controls are therefore invisible to AutoIt. Post the results you get from AutoItInfo, and maybe there will be more possibilities.To find it with your own script, look at WinList() and try to determine the window's handle.

codenoob Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) So I found out the name of the window from the Auto IT Info box and I got the first line to populate but when attempting to send the "tab" key to go to the next field it gives me an error every time? I know this is probably really simple error but..anyway here is the portion of the code that I input? WinWaitActive( "Register User") Send ("admin") Send ( "keys" [, TAB] ) Thanks guys for the help...slowly but surely.. Oh I and tried the same command with the {} brackets also but it craps out as well? Edited May 4, 2007 by codenoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codenoob Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 Read the help file on Send(): Send ( "{TAB}") doh! I just figured it out. thanks buddy! I copied the send ("keys" [, flag] ) format and didnt "get" the raw key commands part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
