In AutoIT window info tool ,control section is blank and window tab is showing the title and class name which is changing dyanamically each time we open the application Awaiting for your response Regards,Rama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent versions of the Windows Platform SDK come with a UiSpy that reveals information about controls on a WinForm ( and Win32 forms for that matter as it is bridging Active Accessibility ). If your automation will be using the UiAutomation namespace in .NET 3.x, then use UiSpy for discovery and begin posting your queries in the appropriate UIAutomation forum here.If you wish to continue to use AutoIt as a means to drive your automation, then Ranorex also provides a free GUI Spy that will reveal controls that respond to WM_GETCONTROLNAME ( and thus reveal their design-time ID ). Both the UiSpy and Ranorex spy will reveal roughly the same info that is pertinent to control IDs and their physical properties ( ie, X/Y/W/H coordinates ). Once you've obtained the control name, then you can use this AutoIt script to obtain a handle and attempt your automation. Your mileage WILL vary as I'm sure not all WPF controls respond to every native message ( perhaps they do, this is untested for me ).Good Luck!Zach Fisher...

LanceLarsen Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 As this was one of the threads that I found when looking to embed AutoIt into a C# project that I was creating - I wanted to reply here and share the code that I've written that creates a C# AutoItHelper library class -- and has a example project that references said library, with a NotePad example call.You can find the code and a brief intro on my blog at:http://www.lancelarsen.com/Blog/tabid/72/E...er-Library.aspxRegards......Lance Larsenwww.lancelarsen.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Robertson Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 No. This thread had nothing to do with calling AutoIt from a managed perspective. This thread was about automating managed forms from an AutoIt perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobli Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) What I am more interested is: do we have any plan (at least for near future) to enrich autoIT functinalities, s.t it can support WPF applications as well? I think this is very important, as once WPF becomes the mainstream (since this is proposed by microsoft, I guess it will get popular. --- at least more appls will be in this technology), lack of support will dramatically reduce the chance of autoIT to be keep popular... So I strongly hope, autoIT talent team will think about this direction... thx a lot Edited April 24, 2009 by hobli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
