Pgadmin the postgres tool

[rosswg]

Below is how far I have got in trying to automate pgadmin.

the controlclick highlights the database that I am trying to connect to.

If I use a mouse I double click, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do it using Autoit

Would you (the reader) kindly help me.

Run("c:\Program Files\pgadmin III\1.8\pgadmin3.exe")

WinWaitActive("pgAdmin III")

ControlClick("pgAdmin III","","[class:SysTreeView32]" ,"left", 2, 45,25 )

sleep(200)

send("!t")

sleep(800)

WinMenuSelectItem ( "", "", "&Connect" )

SEND("!c")

;------------------this that have been tried --

;WinMenuSelectItem ( "pgAdmin III", "", "Tools" , "Connect" )

;ControlFocus("pgAdmin III","","[class:SysTreeView32]")

;SLEEP(400)

;Send("!{ENTER}")

;mouseclick("left",80,158)

Yes I have made some progress on the problem.

One has to get the position of the window - this gives a 4 element array - as x,y, width and height.

The by working out where I need to mouseclick, in the window, these x and y values are added to the contol x,y values.

These clicks now work.

At this stage this is not a robust (fail safe) way of achieving getting it to work, but it does work.

It is not fail safe because if the contents of the window change the position of the clicks must also be changed.

As I am working on a 'tree'. It would be better to count the elements in the tree, then by knowing the height of the line,

one could then know better where to click.

Getting there.

The problem with mouse clicking is that unless you have a long sleep time- it is inconsistent.
