I have a automating a Windows application using AutoIT tool.
I have done the scripting now I need a command by which I can verify that the particular text on the application?
For eg: I open the application,
then I execute the some task.
Once task is compelete success is displayed on the application screen.
I want to verify wheather success was displayed when task was completed.
Let me know how this can be done through AutoIT
that depends alot how the application is designed. with autoit for most windows-based uis, you can use the autoit window info tool to inspect elements, then with that info, get the control's text or value with
controlGetText [1]
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Example()
Func Example()
; Run Notepad
Run("notepad.exe")
; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.
Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)
; Set the edit control in Notepad with some text. The handle returned by WinWait is used for the "title" parameter of ControlSetText.
ControlSetText($hWnd, "", "Edit1", "This is some text")
; Retrieve the text of the edit control in Notepad. The handle returned by WinWait is used for the "title" parameter of ControlGetText.
Local $sText = ControlGetText($hWnd, "", "Edit1")
; Display the text of the edit control.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The text in Edit1 is: " & $sText)
; Close the Notepad window using the handle returned by WinWait.
WinClose($hWnd)
EndFunc ;==>Example
Start with that and let me know if you need more help!

I have a script that opens a webpage, logs in, then opens a program and is supposed to bring the program to the front and make it full screen. It opens the window but it does not always bring it to the front and it won't full screen. Can anyone offer any assistance? Here is my code:
; Closes last dialog if still open
Sleep(5000)
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(500)
; Wait for program to open
WinWait("[CLASS: Program example]","", 5)
;Brings Program to front
if WinExists("[CLASS: Program example]") Then
WinActivate("[CLASS: Program example]")
EndIf
Sleep(500)
; Sets program fullscreen
WinSetState("[ACTIVE]", "", #SW_MAXIMIZE)
I added the WinWait to see if that would help, but it has not. The window just stays in the back and never moves. Thanks for any help provided.
Sometimes AutoIt doesn't perform some task because something is happening at the same time that interfere with the command. The best way to ensure the things work is to always check if the task was performed and try again if not. This loop will solve your problem.
;Brings Program to front
While Not WinActive("[CLASS: Program example]")
WinActivate("[CLASS: Program example]")
Sleep(1000) ; Wait one second (or any seconds you want)
WEnd
I'm really new to coding (like very new) but I managed to do what I wanted with AutoIt. That means: Launch IE automatically on a certain web page in Kiosk mode. So far so good.
But before I was not in kiosk mode the input sent worked but now I can't find the problem why it does not work any more.
ShellExecuteWait("c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe", "-k http://website.com", "")
WinWaitActive("website.com Login - Internet Explorer","")
Send("login{TAB}password{ENTER}")
The website is launched, I'm directly in the login box, but nothing is typed in it. Any ideas?
Like #Steve said in the comments, you can try to use ControlFocus when the window is shown, then send the credentials.
ShellExecuteWait("c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe", "-k http://website.com", "")
; store the returned window handle to use it in the ControlFocus call
Local $hWnd = WinWaitActive("website.com Login - Internet Explorer","")
ControlFocus($hWnd, "", "Edit1")
Send("login{TAB}password{ENTER}")
Consider this AutoIt code:
WinActivate("Test Window")
Sleep(5000)
ControlClick("Test Window", "", 197128)
There is a button in the window I am testing. I have written a simple script to click on the button using ControlClick. I use controlID to identify and click on the button (I use AutoIt window Info to get the controlID). The script works. The problem is that the control ID changes each time the test window is launched. As a result, the script does not simulate a button click each time a new instance of the window is launched. How can I make controlclick work as expected every time?
For controls that have dynamic control Ids, the best is to use advanced detection.
As it can be seen in the Help File:
A special description can be used as the controlID parameter used in most of the
Control...() functions. This description can be used to identify a control by the
following properties:
For example,
ControlSend("Untitled - Notepad", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "This is some text")
Or
ControlClick("My Window", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Finish; INSTANCE:2]")
Don't forget to set:
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase
I am using AutoIt to create an auto-install application. There is an dialog which contains a ListBox control, and in the listbox there are some choices for user (the detailed choices depends on user's machine. For some users there maybe only one choice, for some users there may be three choices, etc.), so I want to get the texts in the listbox to make the decision. I have tried the following code, but it did not work.
; 2223 is the ID of listbox
$txt = ControlGetText("Select Web Site", "", "[ID:2223]")
Msgbox(0, "", $txt)
After execution $txt is null.
So what should I do to get the texts in Listbox?
Here is the attribute of the listbox monitored by AutoIt v3 Window Info:
Class: WindowsForms10.Listbox.app.0.33c0d9d
I've found the 'Send' command to be unreliable on occasion, particularly if the PC is locked.
'ControlSend' has always worked to get the keystrokes where I want them.
I wrote a test to check to see if an item was in a combo box. There might be similar functions for list boxes using GuiComboBox.au3.
Func DoesItemExistInComboBox($windowtitle, $windowtext, $comboboxcontrol, $itemtocheck)
$returnvalue = 0
$ComboBoxHandle = ControlGetHandle($windowtitle, $windowtext, $comboboxcontrol)
$ComboBoxArray = _GUICtrlComboBox_GetListArray($ComboBoxHandle)
For $i = 0 TO UBound($ComboBoxArray)-1
If $ComboBoxArray[$i] = $itemtocheck Then
$returnvalue = 1
EndIf
Next
return $returnvalue
EndFunc
What about:
ControlCommand("My GUI", "", "[CLASS:ListBox; INSTANCE:1]", "SelectString", "item2")
What I want to do is to select one of the items named "Default Web Site" in the list, but it seems that the list content can not be got, so finally I tried another way:
At first I make the listbox focused, and then I choose the item "Default Web Site" by sending "Def":
ControlFocus($Title, "", "[NAME:lbWebSites]")
; Select the option "Default Web Site", so press "def" to set the desired item.
Send("Def")
I want to write a script in AutoIt, which can take automatic input from the keyboard, let's say A-Z, without user intervention.
Is this possible?
It is unlikely that your program needs to capture all input from all keys. If you do in fact need that kind of user input AutoIt might not be for you - see the post from the author of AutoIt about keyloggers. If you need to take keyboard input of the hotkey type: doing that in AutoIt is super easy.
HotKeySet("^+{q}", "reactionFunction")
While 1
; A loop
WEnd
Func reactionFunction()
MsgBox(0, "You pressed CTRL+Shift+q", "You pressed CTRL+Shift+q")
Exit
EndFunc
If you want to take user input from an input box that is really easy also.
$data = InputBox("Enter Something", "Enter some data in the field below.")
MsgBox(0, "The String You Entered...", "The string you entered is... " & $data)
More information about HotKeySet and InputBox can be found in the AutoIt.chm help file (it's actually a great reference).
Not sure I understand your question - you want to simulate keypresses without someone actually using the keyboard? If so, that's the send command in AutoIt.
You want to let a real user submit input to the script? That's what the GUI in AutoIt is for.
