I have a JNLP file (say Test.jnlp). I have opened that file using AutoIt. My code for opening Test.jnlp file:
$d = "D:\Ripon\"
$f = "Test.jnlp"
Run("cmd /c " & " """ & $d & $f & """ ", "", #SW_HIDE)
After opening .jnlp file a Login screen comes. My requirement is to type Username and Password -> Click Login button.
As I couldn't find the identity of elements (text fields, button) I failed to do that. Please help me.
There are a few types of GUI that don't give you ids for controls, almost all Java toolkits are an example of that.
There are several methods of automating them still:
Assuming the window is always the same size (which is often a pretty safe assumption to make) then AutoIt will allow you to click the window at a given position, or send text just to that window. For example in the above case you could try the following code:
ControlSend("Window Title", "", "", "MyUsername{TAB}MyPassword{ENTER}")
Another solution is using accessibility features. If you google 'autoit java accessibility bridge' I'm sure you'll get some results like this one. I've never tried this personally.
There is also a java access bridge no idea how this works either, but other people have been using it for a while.
As a last resort, you have to mimic user mouse and keyboard actions. This really isn't the best solution but at least you can be very sure it will work.
The following snippet of code should work:
Send("username")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("password")
Send("{ENTER}")

I am working on a form that I need to change the default value for a control during run time without having to go into design mode. I need to use a command button and either VBA or a Macro. What will happen is when the user needs to change a location they are working with for an audit, they click on the button and get a prompt to change the location by scanning a barcode and then refresh the form so that it will display the new location.
I know it can be done, I did it with another database about 8 years ago, I just can't remember how I did it.
This is what I am trying to do. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible, since if something goes wrong I may not be the one that needs to fix it.
Me.Form.frmEntry.txtLocation.DefaultValue = InputBox("Please Enter A New Location", "Location Change")
Me.Refresh
I have tried this and several variations of it, as well as 6 days of searching various websites and can't quite find the hint that I am looking for.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
DefaultValue is a text, so you need quotes - and the straight syntax:
Me!txtLocation.DefaultValue = """" & InputBox("Please Enter A New Location", "Location Change") & """"
I'm going through the Qt5 Application tutorial. In the creation of actions, I keep seeing the usage of "&" like the follwoing:
newAct = new QAction(QIcon(":/images/new.png"), tr("&New"), this)
...
openAct = new QAction(QIcon(":/images/open.png"), tr("&Open..."), this);
...
enter code exitAct = new QAction(tr("E&xit"), this);
...
I can't seem to find why these "&" are used, the Qt documentations on tr uses these notations without explaining what they are for. Further, when I deleted the "&" symbol, the resulting application doesn't seem to change at all.
As far as tr is concerned & is just another character in the string and has no special meaning.
However it does have a special meaning to QAction: It sets the following character as the entry's shortcut within a menu, so when you have the "File" menu open, pressing the n key will activate the "New" entry, x will active "Exit" and so on. Depending on the OS, the character after the & may also be underlined (on Windows it's only underlined when you press the Alt key).
& is used to indicate a character that should be used for the Alt-key shortcut for a given menu item. Assuming these actions are being put into a menu named &File, pressing Alt-F, then N would activate the New action.
It's for shortcut (in many cases it's Alt and the character).
If you code doesn't have & it will be like this:
now if you have & before the key you want to use for shortcut, it will look like this:
Here I assume you already have these actions added to a menu as in the pictures above, and you also have & for the menu name, something like this:
fileMenu = menuBar()->addMenu("&File");
I try to download file using Autoit from Firefox 28.0.
I try to download a exe file,popup flashed but autoit window info tool cannot recognize the save button.
how can i automate this.
My scripts looks like
Local $hWnd=WinActivate("[CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]")
WinWaitActive($hWnd)
;MsgBox(1,$hWnd,$hWnd)
;ControlClick($hWnd,"","Save")
ControlClick($hWnd,"&Save File","")
;WinClose("[CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]")
how can i automate this......
Right now both of your ControlClick attempts are incorrect. The correct syntax is ControlClick(Window title or handle, *window* text, control *id*, ...). Look at the helpfile and examples for it to see what you're not doing right currently.
The firefox download dialog is a little tricky, googling gives a lot of results for people who have tried to do the same thing and struggled.
The easiest method is to click the window at the coordinates of the button. ControlClick can be used for this (simply leave the control id blank). The AutoIt window info tool should give ControlClick coords when you try and select where the button is.
That method does assume that the button is always in the same place, which is not necessarily the case. Alternatives are to use ControlSend to send the Alt+S combination (or whatever it is for that button).
And finally, it's worth mentioning the IUIAutomation framework which has shown to be very reliable for automating windows that aren't using standard winapi controls.
The simplest way to do is as follows on mozilla:
Use the following code on autoit.au3 file
ControlFocus ( "MozillaDialogClass", "", "" )
Sleep(10)
Send("{ENTER}")
Execute the same file in selenium using:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Users\\Balaji\\Desktop\\autoit.exe");
Use the below code to download a file in Firefox using AutoIt.
WinWait("[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]","", 10)
If WinExists("[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]") Then
; Perform keyboard ALT key + s key to select Save File Radio button using keyboard shortcut.
ControlFocus ( "[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]","", "" )
Send("!s")
; Wait for 2 seconds
Sleep(2000)
; Press Keyboard ENTER button.
Send("{ENTER}")
EndIf
I wish to simulate a right click on a file. This is done by opening a Windows Explorer window and then right clicking on it.
The main issue is finding the location of the file in Windows Explorer. I am currently using Autoit v3.3.8.1.
My code 's first line:
RunWait (EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,/select,<filepath>)
The next step is the problem. Finding the coordinates of the file.
After that, right clicking at that coordinates (it seems to me at this time) is not a problem....
Some background:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Software Languages: C#, Autoit (for scripting)
The Autoit script is called by a code similar to that below:
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "AutoItScript.exe";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.Start();
The code is compiled into a console class file which is run at startup. The autoit script runs as the explorer window opens up.
It seems as though you are taking the wrong approach to the problem, so I'll answer what you are asking and what you should be asking.
First up though, that line of code is not valid, and is not what you want either. You want to automate the explorer window, and RunWait waits for the program to finish. Furthermore you want those items to be strings, that code would never work.
Finding the item in explorer
The explorer window is just a listview, and so you can use normal listview messages to find the coordinates of an item. This is done most simply by AutoIt's GUIListView library:
#include<GUIListView.au3>
Local $filepath = "D:\test.txt"
Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
ProcessWait($iPid)
Sleep(1000)
Local $hList = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[CLASS:SysListView32; INSTANCE:1]")
Local $aClient = WinGetPos($hList)
Local $aPos = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemPosition($hList, _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($hList))
MouseClick("Right", $aClient[0] + $aPos[0] + 4, $aClient[1] + $aPos[1] + 4)
As has already been mentioned, sending the menu key is definitely a better way than having to move the mouse.
Executing a subitem directly
This is how it should be done. Ideally you should never need an explorer window open at all, and everything can be automated in the background. This should always be what you aim to achieve, as AutoIt is more than capable in most cases. It all depends on what item you want to click. If it is one of the first few items for opening the file in various programs, then it is as simple as either:
Using ShellExecute, setting the verb parameter to whatever it is you want to do.
Checking the registry to find the exact command line used by the program. For this you will need to look under HKCR\.ext where ext is the file extension, the default value will be the name of another key in HKCR which has the actions and icon associated with the filetype. This is pretty well documented online, so google it.
If the action is not one of the program actions (so is built into explorer) then it is a little more complex. Usually the best way will be to look at task manager when you start the program and see what it runs. Other things can be found online, for example (un)zipping. Actions like copy, delete, rename, create shortcut, send to... They can all be done directly from AutoIt with the various File* functions.
With more information, it would be possible to give you more specific help.
First, you might want to look at the Microsoft Active Accessibility SDK. In particular look at this interface...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/accessibility.iaccessible.aspx
You can use this to walk the items in the control and find the one with the file name you are looking for and its screen location.
From there, maybe try something like this for simulating the right click.
How can I use automation to right-click with a mouse in Windows 7?
Once you have done the right click, use accessibility again to find the right option on the context menu.
Maybe there's an easier way, you should be able to cobble something together like this if you don't find one. Good luck!
Suppose I have a file named test.txt on D drive. It needs to right click for opening Context Menu. To do this, the following code should work:
Local $filepath = "D:\test.txt"
Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
ProcessWait($iPid)
Sleep(1000)
Send('+{F10}')
I am using an AutoIt script to automate my application. Following is the command which I am running:
FileOpenDialog ("File Upload", "C:\Documents and Settings\abhishek.kumar\Desktop\Quadrillion work", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)", "","WESTF12433.jpg","" )
Send("{ENTER}")
The first command works as it opens up the file open dialog with WESTF12433.jpg file as selected. Now I want to click on open button. How can I do it?
Send("{ENTER}") is not working.
Send is not a good method as it requires the window to be focused, which you can't guarantee. From what you have posted, I would say the best method would be this:
ControlClick("File Upload", "", "Button1")
Edit in response to comments:
Your problem: The fileOpenDialog is blocking execution. You need to think of it as though AutoIt Reads a line, Runs it, then reads the next.
In this case: AutoIt Reads line 1. It creates a FileOpenDialog and WAITS for you to close it. Once it as been closed it reads the next line, and runs that.
Try the following: Create two au3 files, and put the first line in 1.au3 and the second in 2.au3. Run them in that order and see what happens. Send will struggle as the dialog doesn't have focus, but the ControlClick versions should work.
You're not using FileOpenDialog() properly. Its purpose is to interact with the user. If you don't need that, there's no need for it in the first place.
All it does is return the name(s) of the selected files, which you defined already. Can't you just assign the file path to the variable from the start? As per Documentation - Function Reference - FileOpenDialog() :
Success: Returns the full path of the file(s) chosen. Results for
multiple selections are "Directory|file1|file2|..."
This will never work, because AutoIt is not multi-threaded.
Once you open the dialog, it pauses script execution until the user clicks ok, so a Send() function on the next line won't do anything until after.
What you can do is make another script, compile it, and run it just before you open the dialog.
Run("clickOpen.exe")
FileOpenDialog ("File Upload", "C:\Documents and Settings\abhishek.kumar\Desktop\Quadrillion work", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)", "","WESTF12433.jpg","" )
This is what would get executed:
WinWaitActive("File Upload")
Send("{ENTER}")
Simple as that! Hope it helps.
