Find out which button is clicked

[hariajay]

Hi,

Am new to AutoIt. Need help to find out which button is clicked during automation. For instance, there is a NEXT and CANCEL button on screen. I use a ControlClick on NEXT to automate an installation. But, if I click on CANCEL how do I find out that the user has clicked on CANCEL instead?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

A silly example, I don't know why ControlCommand($hWnd, '', 'Button3', 'IsChecked', '') doesn't return 1 if a button is clicked and of-course is visible and focused:

#include <GuiButton.au3>

Run('control sysdm.cpl')
WinWaitActive('System Properties')
Dim $hWnd = WinGetHandle('System Properties')

Dim $hCancel = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, 'Cancel', 2)
Dim $hOK = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, 'OK', 1)

While 1
    If _GUICtrlButton_GetState($hCancel) = 620 Then
        _GUICtrlButton_Click($hCancel)
        _Cancel()
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    
    If _GUICtrlButton_GetState($hOK) = 620 Then
        _GUICtrlButton_Click($hOK)
        _OK()
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    
    Sleep(20)
WEnd
    
Func _Cancel()
    MsgBox(0x40, 'Cancel', 'You''ve pressed "Cancel" button')
EndFunc

Func _OK()
    MsgBox(0x40, 'Cancel', 'You''ve pressed "OK" button')
EndFunc

Thanks for the reply. This helps a lot. Could you please tell me what the number 620 means in this line?

If _GUICtrlButton_GetState($hCancel) = 620

I've just output to the console what _GuiCtrlButton_GetState return when I'm hovering a button, or clicking it or clicking but releasing outside the button's border and 620 is what I've got when the button was clicked.
