Wiwo Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Hello *, how do you implement support for multiple user languages? For example I want to use the WinWaitActive() function which expects a title match. But I have to automate this package for different user languages in Windows. The predefined macro @OSlang only returns the system language - not the language the user is working with. So I will have to define this title for multiple languages - this is not supported in AutoIT. Do you have any suggestions? Has anyone else already implemented a function which returns the user language? Thanx a lot! Wolfgang

Wiwo Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Hello rasim, thanx a lot. This solution now works fine for me for the WinWaitActive function. Now I've tried to click a control by ID without success. Do you can help me once again. WinWaitActive("[Class:#32770]", "", 60) -> is OK ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "", 1) -> FAILS ----- Window Info ----- >>>> Window <<<< Title: Ausführen als Class: #32770 Position: 448, 328 Size: 384, 314 Style: 0x94C80BCC ExStyle: 0x00010101 Handle: 0x00020A56 >>>> Control <<<< Class: Button Instance: 5 ClassnameNN: Button5 Advanced (Class): [CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:5] ID: 1 Text: OK Position: 209, 255 Size: 75, 23 ControlClick Coords: 48, 9 Style: 0x50010000 ExStyle: 0x00000004 Handle: 0x000D0A20 ----- Window Info ----- Best Regards, Wolfgang Wiwo By window class, example for notepad: WinWaitActive("[Class:Notepad]")

Wiwo Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Does not work :-( Try this: ControlClick ( "[Class:#32770]", "","[CLASSNN:Button5")
Andreik Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Does not work :-(Sorry, I forget this "]", look at my edit and try now.
Wiwo Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Hmm, now the function executes without an error but the control is not being clicked. ControlClick ( "[Class:#32770]", "","[CLASSNN:Button5]") Wouldn't it be better do implement support for different languages? I then only need a function to determine the user language setting, the script is better readable, but I didn't find any solution. Switch $language Case "de" ControlClick("Ausführen als", "Benutzer", 1) Case "en" ControlClick("Run as", "User", 1) EndSwitch Sorry, I forget this "]", look at my edit and try now.
Andreik Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) You can use a Language.ini file and read GUI title, controls,... in any language, and then ControlClick is not a problem: IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini","EN","TITLE","Run as") IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini","EN","TEXT","User") IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini","DE","TITLE","Ausführen als") IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini","DE","TEXT","Benutzer") $GUI = GUICreate("Select language",100,55,-1,-1) $LANG = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,5,80,20) GUICtrlSetData($LANG,"EN" & "|" & "DE","EN") $SELECT = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK",20,30,60,20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$GUI) While 1 $MSG = GUIGetMsg() If $MSG = $SELECT Then $LANGUAGE = GUICtrlRead($LANG) GUIDelete($GUI) Program($LANGUAGE) EndIf Sleep(10) WEnd Func Program($LANGUAGE) Local $MSG,$TITLE,$TEXT $TITLE = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini",$LANGUAGE,"TITLE","Error") $TEXT = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini",$LANGUAGE,"TEXT","Error") Local $GUI = GUICreate($TITLE,400,400,-1,-1) GUISetState() While 1 $MSG = GUIGetMsg() If $MSG = -3 Then Exit EndIf WEnd EndFunc Edited August 18, 2008 by Andreik
Wiwo Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Thanx a lot for your effort. But the script should do an unattended installation -> no user interaction. Therefore I will need a function to get the current user language setting from windows. You can use a Language.ini file and read GUI title, controls,... in any language, and then ControlClick is not a problem: IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini","EN","TITLE","Run as") IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini","EN","TEXT","User") IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini","DE","TITLE","Ausführen als") IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini","DE","TEXT","Benutzer") $GUI = GUICreate("Select language",100,55,-1,-1) $LANG = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,5,80,20) GUICtrlSetData($LANG,"EN" & "|" & "DE","EN") $SELECT = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK",20,30,60,20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$GUI) While 1 $MSG = GUIGetMsg() If $MSG = $SELECT Then $LANGUAGE = GUICtrlRead($LANG) GUIDelete($GUI) Program($LANGUAGE) EndIf Sleep(10) WEnd Func Program($LANGUAGE) Local $MSG,$TITLE,$TEXT $TITLE = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini",$LANGUAGE,"TITLE","Error") $TEXT = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\Language.ini",$LANGUAGE,"TEXT","Error") Local $GUI = GUICreate($TITLE,400,400,-1,-1) GUISetState() While 1 $MSG = GUIGetMsg() If $MSG = -3 Then Exit EndIf WEnd EndFunc
Wiwo Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 The Installer is running in the user context, therefore the user language setting is taken for installation. The predefined macro @OSlang only returns the system language - not the language the user is working with.You use OSLang to get language?
Moderators SmOke_N Posted August 18, 2008 Moderators Posted August 18, 2008 Try ControlFocus(same 1st 3 params as controlclick()) before ControlClick(). Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
Wiwo Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 I've tried your suggestion but this does not help. The focus is not the problem. When I try to execute the following function, it works: ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "OK", 1) There must be a problem with the parameter "[CLASSNN:Button5]" Try ControlFocus(same 1st 3 params as controlclick()) before ControlClick().

There should be no issue with the ControlID (1) unless it changes randomly like some apps do. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

Wiwo Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 No success, the ControlID does not change. Now I think I have to look for an API function to detect the current user language. Might try: [CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:5], other than that I don't know. There should be no issue with the ControlID (1) unless it changes randomly like some apps do.
