I don't have MalwareBytes .. but doesn't the app have any keyboard shortcuts to assist you in navigation?

Perhaps you could start from the field that's first in focus after you've launched the app, and then use a combination of keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) and tab order till you get to your Update field?

See ControlCommand() in the Help file

Along the lines of

ControlCommand("Title", "", "[Class:SysTabControl32; Instance:1]", "TabRight", "")

Also look at "CurrentTab" for the same Function. Also remember that Tabs are generally 0 based so the first tab will be 0 the second 1 & Etc:

EDIT: The exact information can be obtained by using the AutoIt Window Info Tool.

First of all Thanks you Everyone for your assistance.

Unfortunatley I could not manipulate my way to the tabs with any of the shortcut keys. I also tried the controlcommand option but when I looked in the autoit window all the malwarebyte tabs had the same SysTabControl32 and instance of 1. I solved my issue with option 3 using the below script. I did not know MalwareBytes had any command line options.

Next time I will read a bit more before trying to reinvent the wheel.

Run("C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe /runupdate")

Sleep(120000)

Run("C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe /quickscanterminate")

Exit

Thanks Again http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/style_im...icons/icon1.gif
