jfcby Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) Hello, In my batch print program that I'm creating for AutoDesk DWG TrueView 2007 sometimes has multi-tabs for a single file. I researched the Au3Info.exe to see if it had the tab name but did not find it. Is there a way to use WinActivate to set focus to a window and tab name? Added Aug 26, 2008, 10:54pm: Through futher research I found out using the Au3Info.exe program that the tab control is called AcadSoftelTabControl32 and the tab names are displayed in the Visible Text Tab as <Switching to: Model>, <Switching to: 2245-1>, <Switching to: 2245-1>. Is there a way to Activate a window using the tab name? Thank you for your help, jfcby Edited August 26, 2008 by jfcby Determined -- Devoted -- Delivered Make your mind up -- to seriously apply yourself -- accomplishing the desired results. **** A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

jfcby Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 jfcby In the User Defined Function Reference rasim I've studied the User Defined Function Reference and also the references in this forum. Most of the references are for Autoit3 created tabs and not for external program tabs. In the following code how do I get it to: 1. Show the number of tabs in a external program (AutoDesk DWG TrueView): MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Number of tabs: " & _GUICtrlTab_GetItemCount($cntTab)) 2. Get the current selected tab in a external program (AutoDesk DWG TrueView): MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Current Selection: " & _GUICtrlTab_GetCurSel($cntTab)) Full Code: expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <GuiTab.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode $AppTitle = "DWG TrueView Print" $mainwindow = GUICreate($AppTitle, 250, 100, 675, 50) HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Quit");"CLOSEClicked") GUICtrlCreateLabel("Print DWG TrueView Active window.", 30, 10) $printbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Print", 90, 50, 75, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($printbutton, "PrintButton") $tabbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Tab", 10, 50, 75, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($tabbutton, "TabButton") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) WinSetOnTop($AppTitle, "", 1);window stays on top While 1 Sleep(1000) ; Idle around WEnd Func TabButton() WinActivate("DWG TrueView", "z:\") Sleep(2000) $cntTab = ControlCommand("DWG TrueView", "z:\", "AcadSoftelTabControl321", "TabRight", "") ; Show number of tabs Sleep(2000) MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Number of tabs: " & _GUICtrlTab_GetItemCount($cntTab)) ; Get Current Selected Tab Sleep(2000) MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Current Selection: " & _GUICtrlTab_GetCurSel($cntTab)) EndFunc Func PrintButton() WinActivate("DWG TrueView", "z:\") Sleep(2000) ;Print Active Page Send("{ALT}" & "{DOWN 5}" & "{ENTER}") Sleep(2000) Send("{ENTER}");File > Plot(Print) Sleep(2000) Send("+{TAB 4}" & "{DOWN}" & "{ENTER}");Page Setup > Previous Plot(Print) EndFunc Func _Quit();CLOSEClicked() Exit EndFunc Thank you for your help, jfcby Determined -- Devoted -- Delivered Make your mind up -- to seriously apply yourself -- accomplishing the desired results. **** A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
