Automation of wireless network setup

[graysn05]

Where the comments are i just sent characters to get a proof of concept.

Problems

1. I need to check the network list to see if there was an attempt at setting up our network

2. After the network is setup there is a tooltip (made by windows) that i need to click to have windows prompt the user for credentials

3. I need to find out how to control click tabs inside of properties windows

if anyone would like to help and needs screen shots let me know

thanks in advance

for navigating tabs, i typically will do a send("^{PGUP}") or send("^{PGDWN}") as far as detecting the tooltip window, you should be able to identify it by class to click on it

Using the window info program i don't get any information on the windows "ballon".

Controls inside a browser (any browser) are not windows controls. You will only see a top level control for the overall "container" with windows info tool.

You can manipulate content with keyboard commands as you are doing, but you can get much more precise and flexible control with IE Automation using the _IE* functions (IE is the only browser that exposes an external COM API to allow this).

I am not trying to navigate tabs in a browser. The tabs are inside the wireless network properties. Does anyone know how to send a click to a windows created tooltip?

if anyone would like to help and needs screen shots let me know

I think a screenshot would really help.
