Reach controls within tabs

[qazqaz]

Hi.

I am new to autoIT and I am trying to automate test cases. I am reaching different contols with help of the send() and controlcommand() function, attaching the name of it. But I am having troble with controls within tabs. I can't get the functions to work. I can solve it with mouse coordinates, but that is not so flexible.

Is there any solution for it?

Run('control sysdm.cpl')
WinWaitActive('System Properties')

Dim $hWnd = WinGetHandle('System Properties')
ControlSend($hWnd, '', 'SysTabControl321', '^{TAB 3}')

Is this what you mean?

It'd be simpler just to run it like this: Run('control sysdm.cpl,,2') but it's true only in this case.

Hi.

Partly. thanks for the answer.

My problem is that I now how to press the OK button on system properties since it is below the tabs. It have a unique ID, and I am using ControlClick(title,"",ClassnameNN)

But how do I press buttons within the tabs for exampel "Advanced..." on the "Remote connection" tab.

( on a application that does not have key-short cut for all buttons)

Run('control sysdm.cpl')
WinWaitActive('System Properties')

Dim $hWnd = WinGetHandle('System Properties')
ControlSend($hWnd, '', 'SysTabControl321', '^{TAB 3}')

You mean this: (sorry for bad examples)

#include <GuiTab.au3>

Run('control sysdm.cpl')
WinWaitActive('System Properties')

Dim $hWnd = WinGetHandle('System Properties')
Dim $hSysTab = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, '', 'SysTabControl321')

_GUICtrlTab_ClickTab($hSysTab, 6, 'left', False)
ControlClick($hWnd, '', 'Button2', 'left', 1)
