Guest delebre Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) Hi guys, I love AutoIt.. and I am excited to be playing with it.. but there is something I can't seem to figure out.My company has us do some very redundant data entry stuff, that I could slipstream with AutoIt... and free up time to do the important stuff.We use a web based interface for our database, and we have Input Fields that are placed in different locations depending on how much input was entered by a previous person. Obviously using Mouse Move and clicking the box and pasting data won't work.Here is my question..How do I get AutoIt to get me to the first field? I can't use the mouse to click it, since it is dynamic. Edited March 22, 2005 by delebre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automagician Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Can you see the objects in the window spy? If so, you could use the control functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automagician Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Can you tab through the app? I know it's a pain, but it may be your only choice. Unless any of the higher more experienced powers have any better ideas....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejoc Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) Is it possible to give an example of how it looks different? Shipping Service Type: * [iNPUT FIELD] vs Shipping Service Type: 3rd Rate Donkey Mail [iNPUT FIELD] If thats where its dynamic you could start from some point on the row and step to the right checking the pixel color until its white, then you know where the input field is. Then you have your x,y for a MouseClick. *Edit* I would suggest this as a last resort if automagician's suggestion doesnt work *Edit* PixelSearch would be handy here Edited March 23, 2005 by Ejoc Start -> Programs -> AutoIt v3 -> AutoIt Help File -> Index -> (The Function you are asking about)----- Links -----DllStruct UDFsRSA Crypto UDFs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleHohm Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Regarding the original scenario (it is a browser-based application and the last reply is an AutoIt GUI)... You can use the COM interface to IE to iterate through the form fields, check for their current values and then stop when you find an empty one. If this sounds like it will work based on the additional details of your application -- please provide more detail on your app, the form and how you can tell visually where to start and we can put together a somple.

IE.au3 issues with Vista - Workarounds SciTe Debug mode - it's magic: #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
