Problem with Control Click option

[mann]

Hi,

I am facing problem in using control click option. I am trying to automate a POS(Point of Sale ) application. when i am trying to click on button, it doesn't work.

Actually, it is a toolstrip menu with button on it.

Script:

Run("C:\Program Files\POS\POS.Lounge.exe")

WinWaitActive("POS v2.0.0.78 [Airport Arrival - T01]","",300)

ControlFocus(" POS v2.0.0.78 [ Airport Arrival - T01]","","tsbon")

ControlClick("POS v2.0.0.78 [Airport Arrival - T01]","","tsbon","left",1,65,40)

This code doesn't click the button, i m referring.

One more problem: How do we know controlId, I m not getting it with Window Info tool.

Uh.. I'm not really sure what youre trying to do. But if you hover the Window Info tool over a button and it says:

Title: Awesome Title

ClassnameNN = AwesomeButton1

Then your control would be ControlClick( "Awesome Title", "", "AwesomeButton1", "left" )

Thats fine, but now when i have given all the details then why this is not working. As there is not compilation error too.

mann,

Perhaps if you tried:

ControlClick( "Awesome Title", "", "[CLASS:AwesomeButton1]")

That should give you 1 left click on the button.

If you need more ID you might need to add the INSTANCE as well - only trying will answer that.

Try not to use this part of your script:

WinWaitActive("POS v2.0.0.78 [Airport Arrival - T01]","",300)

ControlFocus(" POS v2.0.0.78 [ Airport Arrival - T01]","","tsbon")

And try not using the 65,40 part in the end of ControlClick.

Thanks M23,

I have added class keyword too before control id, but still its not working. I m attaching the screenshot of my application.

I want to click on the On button. (that is not exactly a button, it is some icon on tool strip menu)

Grr, Why didnt you tell us its an icon

Just use ControlClick( "Awesome Title", "", "", left, 1, x, y)

Where x,y is the button location.

mann,

Looks like the CLASS name might refer to a larger area - do you get a large rectangle including many buttons outlined on the app when you use the Au3Info Tool? This is a common problem, meaning you need to specify the location within this large control as well - the Au3InfoTool gives that information to you under "Control - ControlClick Coords" when you have the cursor over the "OK" button-that-is-not-really-a-button. Then you need to code something like:

ControlClick( "Awesome Title", "", "[CLASS:AwesomeButton1]" "left", 1, x, y)

Where x and y are the coords from the Info tool.

I m using code as :

Run("C:\Program Files\POS\POS.Lounge.exe")

ControlClick("POS v2.0.0.78 [Delhi Airport Arrival - T01]","","[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.2004eee; INSTANCE:13:tbson]","left",1,40,30)

It is opening the application and then doesnot do anything.

I m using code as :

Run("C:\Program Files\POS\POS.Lounge.exe")

ControlClick("POS v2.0.0.78 [Delhi Airport Arrival - T01]","","[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.2004eee; INSTANCE:13:tbson]","left",1,40,30)

It is opening the application and then doesnot do anything.

Please read my post above Not all programs can be accesed with Classes. Just remove the [class] part and you should be fine. I would suggest this:

Run("C:\Program Files\POS\POS.Lounge.exe")

WinWaitActive("POS v2.0.0.78 [Delhi Airport Arrival - T01]")

ControlClick("POS v2.0.0.78 [Delhi Airport Arrival - T01]","","","left",1,40,30)

If this still doesn't work, then you found the pixel locations wrong. Use this to find the correct coordinates:

CODE

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") ;Выкл.

HotKeySet("{F9}", "ShowMe") ;Вкл.

Dim $Runner

While 1 ;Ждет пока запустится $Runner.

Sleep(20)

If $Runner Then Start()

WEnd

Func ShowMe() ;Для включения.

$Runner = Not $Runner

EndFunc

Func Terminate() ;Для выключения.

Exit 0

EndFunc

Func Start()

$pos = MouseGetPos() ;Берет положение курсора.

MsgBox(0, "Mouse x,y:", $pos[0] & "," & $pos[1]) ;Создает сообщение с положением пикселей.

EndFunc

Run the script, move your mouse to where the icon/button is and press F9. A message will pop up with the x,y coords. Edited April 24, 2009 by Qousio

Still its not working, by using the same above code.
