pjcoxy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi Im just trying to create my first script to automate some repetitive installations I have got as far as the first combo box where I need to choose an option then continue with the installation, whats the best way to do this? I have attached a word doco showing screen 1 then screen 2 of how far I have got, below is the script so far to get to this point: MsgBox(0, "vodafone install", "click ok to continue the automated installation of the vodafone mobile connect version 9 software. Do not touch the keyboard or mouse during the installation.") ; Run the winzip installer Run("\\beaker\install\Vodafone 3G Cards\Version 9 CD\setup_vmc.exe") ; Install location WinWaitActive("Choose Setup Language") Send("{ENTER}") I have had a stab at selecting option 15 but failed, see below ; vodafone nz selection WinWaitActive("Vodafone Mobile Connect Installer") "[MsiDialogCloseClass:ComboBox;INSTANCE:15]", the windows title is "Vodafone Mobile Connect Installer" the class is "MsiDialogCloseClass" basic control info = ComboBox My other question is when I am going to put the visible text of a window in to the script and it happens to contain words which are commands how do I stop the script trying to action them? eg - below < &Back &Next > Cancel NewBinary23 NewBinary24 Please select your network operator... Select the mobile network operator with whom you have an account, and then click Next. NewBinary26 The InstallShield Wizard will install Vodafone Mobile Connect on your computer.

pjcoxy Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks for your reply Isnt the code you suggested creating a new combo box as apposed to just selecting options from the existing one which is what I want to do? Did you take a look at what im trying to do in the attachment? I thought it would be along the lines of choosing option 15 from the combo box then sending enter?

PsaltyDS Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks for your replyIsnt the code you suggested creating a new combo box as apposed to just selecting options from the existing one which is what I want to do?Well, yes, it's just a demo showing the use of the function. You'll have to use it in your script, specifying your window, specifying your combo control, and the value you want selected. You're like the Waterboy: "You c'n DO EEeet!"Did you take a look at what im trying to do in the attachment?No.I thought it would be along the lines of choosing option 15 from the combo box then sending enter?CheersIf you want to do it the hard way, look at the _GuiCtrlComboBox_* functions in the help file. You can select by index with _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel() if you must, but ControlCommand() can too with "SetCurrentSelection" vice "SelectString".Perhaps you should spend some time with the help file and learn ControlCommand() first.

pjcoxy Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Do you know if there is an example some where of automating dropdown box selections in a similar scenario to install software with the desired options being selected? If I can understand a similar example im sure I can figure it out, im just a bit lost without having one to learn from, I cant seem to find one on the web Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Do you know if there is an example some where of automating dropdown box selections in a similar scenario to install software with the desired options being selected?If I can understand a similar example im sure I can figure it out, im just a bit lost without having one to learn from, I cant seem to find one on the webCheersI still don't know what is special about your particular combo box, because of a personal choice not to download unknown files from forum posts, like your install.doc in the OP. Others cruise the forum on a sandboxed VM or some such, and don't mind checking out posted files, so that might be just me. But there it is.You might convert a screen shot to a compressed format (i.e. GIF or JPG, for Jon's hosting sake) and post it directly into your post. If you think it will help... Edit: At this time, the topic has over 40 views and the file still has 0 downloads, so I guess it's not just me. Edited July 1, 2009 by PsaltyDS Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
