Shelled window to Activate


Recommended Posts

I am having problems getting "Add Printer Window" to activate. Is this becuase I used ShellExecute to call it? I cannot get any of the debuggin message boxes to pull up. All of the threads and help I have read say that this simple function should work. Am I missing something? Please help.

ShellExecuteWait("RUNDLL32","PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /il")

WinWait("Add Printer Wizard","")
MsgBox(0,"","1")
WinActivate("Add Printer Wizard","")
MsgBox(0,"","2")
WinWaitActive("Add Printer Wizard","")
MsgBox(0,"","3")

ControlClick("Add Printer Wizard", "&Next>", "12324", "left",1,32,13)

No, it doesn't work at all. I'd rather remove all wait parts and it works like this:

ShellExecute("RUNDLL32","PRINTUI.DLL PrintUIEntry /il")

WinActivate("Add Printer Wizard")
MsgBox(0,"","Pass")


ControlClick("Add Printer Wizard", "&Next>", "12324", "left",1,32,13)

I can do signature me.

I don't know what you mean by "doesn't work at all" since the line I posted and you quoted does work, and then you have used it in your post!

I think you and immerume2 will have more success with a correct ControlClick statement though.

ControlClick("Add Printer Wizard","", "[CLASS:Button;Instance:2]")

I have used ShellExecute. You have used ShellExecuteWait. I replaced the line and it doesn't pass any of message boxes :P

Oh, sorry I didn't see that. :P I agree that it should be ShelExecute not ShellExecuteWait.
