Identify .NET controls by their Name

[Mun]

junkew,

I have read those threads before. Lots of effort and time had put in those thread that one cannot simply or quickly grab the magnitude of it.

I want to move to ui automation but it require complete recode for what i'm planning.

What boggled me is that the same .net container elements can be identify by ranorex spy but failed to return from au3info. I suppose I know why it failed since au3info will always grab the container value which is not the actual control in .net

What so special about ranorex spying?

As you notice the ID/CLASSNN/HWD: Identical yet ranorex knows to pull and return the correct value of elements inside container.

Try to get hold of inspect.exe part of the windows sdk

"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKsWindowsv7.1Binx64Inspect.exe"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318521(v=vs.85).aspx

If that shows the same value I am sure with the other threads I gave you the uiAutomation can help you further to get it thru autoit

Below some sample code which will be based on the latest beta with objcreateinterface function and uiautomation

1. run the program

2. hover to the control you are interested in

3. press ctrl+m and it will show you all information retrievable with UI automation

If you have an object you should be able to get the property with the right information you are looking for

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Close") ; Set ESC as a hotkey to exit the script.

HotKeySet("^m", "GetElementInfo") ; Set Hotkey Ctrl+M

I can't get a hold of SDK for windows 7.

I looked in mine and it does not have inspect.exe anyway.

that msdn article says it's installed with win 8 sdk.

"Inspect is installed with the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8."

I think I need some pointer or two.

Can I search the element directly without going through desktop?

[control hwnd] ► [element name]

** EDIT ** I'm gonna throw in my towel before I completely hijack zfisherdrums full fledged .net handles finder.

I thought handling control text/caption would be less overhead.

I spend all days reading about ui automatic and I came to the conclusion that it not worth it.

Getting all win32 messaging to find the controls and interact with them way too much to find 1 controller.

And you have to re-instantiate controls in order to get updated data on them. Wah no way...

Thank you for your support and valor effort.

Maybe it would be beneficial thing to see this presentation

You have to fully understand ValeryVal that conceptual and implementation are 2 entire worlds apart.

I have read all about UIA and understand how its interpret and no doubt the capability that Microsoft wishes it to achieved.

It would completely be sensible for me to code this in C++ but then still with that I have to write out all my own logic for it yet about 5 yrs + no one not many ever successfully utilized this on a big scale for the mass users.

Better understanding documentation of UI Automation.

Me, the little one, just want something simple and this isn't the way to go.

Better understanding documentation of UI Automation.

This knotty chronicle and other ones can be created by mighty script TypeLibInspector from kindly doudou

if you could know the path to UIautomation lib - C:Windowssystem32uiautomationcore.dll

[junkew]

Mun,

Lets continue within the thread of ui automation. With the library itself its not real hard to get the .NET control. The library includes finding controls etc.

This part you have to read and try to understand

its not real difficult within AutoIt to do UIAutomation but I will try to add more examples to the other thread and some wrappers to make it a litlle easier/comparable to regular AutoIT GUI_xxxx commands

Hi!

 

I have just been using autoit for a few weeks and I am at the point where I can do a lot, but I cannot get information to specify controls for a .net program.  So this forum message seems appropriate.  I downloaded DotNetIdentification.au3 and I also downloaded a free .net program to test it with.  The link for the program is http://dineshbajajktn.blogspot.ca/2012/12/biller.html  I installed it (praying that it doesn't have any viruses) and ran it.  Then I tried running a simple .au3 script with the following code:

#include <DotNetIdentification.au3>
NET_DumpAllControlNames( "Biller")

My output in the consolie is:

I have also tried the autoit window info.  It seems to read my controls properly but when I use autoit window info on 
another .net I do not get information that I can use to identify the control I need to access.

I am really stuck and I am also confused by what is meant by window title (presumably "Biller" and what is meant by windowtext (should that be blank)

 

FYI I would use the classnn data provided by the autoit window info program except it changes from run to run of my program.

Thanks . . .

Phil
