Java AWT frame control

[jlundqui]

So, I need to run multiple AutoIt scripts, each controlling a uniquely named application, with no deliberate crosstalk or accidental cross-control. I've done a proof of concept using the Windows calculator, and it works just fine. The problem I'm having is that the application(s) I need to control are Java AWT frames.

I've tried using SmOke_N's _CtrlGetByPos, which works for the Calculator (but only with the Control Handle), and presumably for Javascript in IE, but not for an independent Java app. I've tried getting the ClassNameNN, Control ID, and Control Handle, and each return 0, but don't throw an error.

Moving the mouse to the correct location and clicking works, but there is no guarantee that another script won't make its own app active before the click, thus causing one script to interact with another script's app window. The app activity has a shortcut key, so I could try a Send. It would be faster than moving the mouse, but still has a possibility of improper interactions.

So, is there some other option? Can a control ID be assigned to a location, or is there a Send function that specifies the window to send to? Any ideas? Unfortunately, I need some resolution asap.

The Calculator example using _CtrlGetByPos is below. Unfortunately, I can't send any specific info about the Java app I'm dealing with.

$hndl = WinGetHandle("Calc1")
WinMove($hndl,"", 50, 50)

$ctrl1 = ControlGetHandle($hndl,"","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:7]")
ConsoleWrite("Control 1: " & $ctrl1 & @CRLF)
$ctrl2 = _CtrlGetByPos($hndl,"",190,188,2)
if @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("error: " &@error & @CRLF)
EndIf
ConsoleWrite("Control 2: " & $ctrl2 & @CRLF)

While WinExists($hndl)
    ControlClick($hndl,"",$ctrl1)
    Sleep(1000)
    ControlClick($hndl,"",$ctrl2)
    Sleep(1000)

I don't believe Java is supported with AutoIt. I had tried using AutoIt a couple years ago with Java swing apps and had no luck.
