ControlDisable and ControlHide Not Working

[Guest petersoh]

Hi,

I am trying to do an automatic WinZip installation (winzipinstall.au3, in the tutorial), in the process of installation, i would like to disable/hide some control buttons, like "cancel", "info". but when i used either ControlDisable or ControlHide Function, both cannot work. However when i to run it on the npad.au3 in the tutorial, it works.

Any idea what's wrong.

Here are a sample of the script:

run("C:\AutoItScript Tutorials\WinZip 9.0 SR1\winzip90.exe",3)

WinWaitActive("WinZip® 9.0 SR-1 Setup","&setup")

ControlDisable("WinZip® 9.0 SR-1 Setup","Cancel",2)

send("!s")

Thanks

Peter

First things first. Is "Cancel" REALLY the name of the control? I don't think so. Try running the AU3 Windows Information tool on that, hover your mouse over the "Cancel" button, and hold Ctrl-Alt-F to freeze the WinInfo. Then you can code what the button's name REALLY is.

Also, failing that, have you tried

BlockInput

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disable/enable the mouse and keyboard.

BlockInput ( flag )

Parameters

flag 1 = Disable user input

0 = Enable user input

Return Value

None.

Cancel is the window text value. Not the control text value. So that parameter could be correct. Controlid 2 would possibly sound right also?

Just double check yout text etc.

; The ButtonText is "&Setup" and not "&setup"

WinWaitActive("WinZip® 9.0 SR-1 Setup","&Setup")
