MouseClick a Button Question

[nick21]

I am making a AutoInstall exe file to auto install some program I have.

I know that

Send ("!n")

can trigger it to click the next button, but now I come to the FINISH button where

Send ("!f") does not work, what command would I be able to to use to have it click that.

Yeah I know I can do a mouse click function but I would have to yet the X,Y cor. but I wanted it just to auto click that button.

Is there an Instance, with/Class command I could use or something.

Here is the info:

Class: Button

Instance: 4

ClassnameNN: Button4

ID: 1

Text: Finish

any help would be great,

thanks,

nick

Send is unreliable, use ControlSend and ControlClick.

Btw hold down alt and one of the letters will get a underscore, alt + this letter is the shortkey.

Finish doesn't use to have a shortkey but it's the default button so Send("{ENTER}") should work.

I am trying to learn some code so I am trying it this way. What am I doing wrong??

The Send("") isn't always great. This is why they made MouseClick and MouseMove. So im going to tell u how to get the

coords for MouseClick/MouseMove.

First: Open up Autoit Window Info by Start > All Programs > Autoit V3 > Autoit Window Info

Second: U could move the window info around if the window is blocking the button, and Click the "Mouse" tab.

Third: Move ur mouse over the button, Notice that there is a word called "Position", well beside it HAS UR COORDS!!!!

E.G.: My mouse coords is "446, 531"

Fourth: U could just write the position on the paper, OR The copy and paste way .

Copy and Paste Way: Hold Alt and keep on pressing Tab until the thing says "Autoit Window Info" This will keep ur position

until u click outside the window info. Now, Click the "Summary" Tab, and scroll down a bit until u see the Position word.

Use ur mouse and Copy the coords, in this case i just copied my coords "446, 531" and pasted it into my script.

E.G.:

MouseClick("left", 446, 531)

OR

MouseMove(446, 531)
MouseClick("Left")

Hope this helps

Controlclick ("3D program", "InstallShield Wizard Complete", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Finsih; INSTANCE:4]")

Just drop the text and try:

ControlClick("3D program", "InstallShield Wizard Complete", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:4]")

Rofl, thanks for the short tutorial, but if the window is moved by the user you're going to click something else in this position.

ControlClick is more reliable the Send or MouseClick in this cases.

@nick21: From what I can see it's actually Button4. You can always preform mouse click amount of pixel up and left from the bottom right corner of the window because dialogs usually aren't resizeable, there are quite few more ways to accomplish this task.
