Custom UI

[rajsekarpillai]

Hi,

I'm new to AutoIT and I want to automate some task in 3rd party software, but when I use AU3Info tool to get the control details.. all the details where shown Dynamic details. the same control when i use with UIspy tool I'll get static (AutomationID) like "m_editName".

My question is How to use AutomationID in the controlsend or controlclick command? I have tried the same AutomationID instead of ControlID...but didn't work.

Here is the AU3Info

First of all, that looks more like a field declaration than a control ID. Seeing that it is a .Net application, it's going to be ridiculously hard to automate.

[rajsekarpillai]

So, any other method to capture those Automation ID?

[Richard Robertson]

Yeah. Use .Net instead of AutoIt.

Hello, rajsekarpillai:

It appears you discovered the information using UISpy, correct? I had the exact same problem. I use this to identify .NET controls.
