Controlsend Device manager

[jpm 47]

I cannot manage to have the following working

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

Run ( 'mmc.exe ' & @SystemDir & '\devmgmt.msc' )
WinWaitActive ( "Device Manager")
$hWin=WinGetHandle("Device Manager")
ControlSend($hWin,"","ToolbarWindow322","!vv"); show by connection
;ControlSend($hWin,"",4097,"!vv"); show by connection; NOT WORKING EITHER

the second v is not received.

is it a case where we cannot use ControlSend and we have to use Send?

try...

ControlFocus($hWin,"","ToolbarWindow322")

ControlSend($hWin,"","ToolbarWindow322","!vv")

Lar.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's working. Any idea why it is needed to work that way?

Do we need to document how to controlsend to a menu/submenu?

surprisingly enough just

ControlSend($hWin,"","ToolbarWindow322","{ALT}vv") ; show by connection

is working

edited: even

ControlSend($hWin,"","","{ALT}vv") ; show by connection

Now the question is why a second Controlsend need to wait?

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

Run ( 'mmc.exe ' & @SystemDir & '\devmgmt.msc' )
WinWaitActive ( "Device Manager")
$hWin=WinGetHandle("Device Manager")
ControlSend($hWin,"","ToolbarWindow322","{ALT}vw"); show hidden device
Sleep(250) ; mandatory for next Controlsend (250 work on my system)
ControlSend($hWin,"","ToolbarWindow322","{ALT}vv"); show by connection
