Finding elements of embedded browser with AutoIT - autoit

Here is my code:
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
GUICreate( "Main", 1200, 700 )
$viewer = ObjCreate( "Shell.Explorer.2" )
GUICtrlCreateObj( $viewer, 5, 5, 1000, 690 )
$viewer.navigate( "url_for_website" )
GUISetState( #SW_SHOW )
$running = 1
While $running
$event = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $event
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
$running = 0
EndSwitch
WEnd
How would I go about finding user input fields with the code above? A push in the right direction would be very helpful!

This should help you out with understanding as this is a great script for IE. Also, it should give you an idea on how to go about implementing what you'd like to do:: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/files/file/227-ieau3/

How to run custom function in a specific window and work in background?

I wrote a script using AutoIt.
The problem is to run it in background so that I can use my desktop for other work.
I used _ImageSearch() which usually works on an active window.
Is there any way to call such a function in background? Here is my code:
WinActivate('Window Title')
$x = 0
$y = 0
If _ImageSearch('searchButton.PNG', 1, $x, $y, 20) = 1 Then
Return 1
ElseIf _ImageSearch('bundle.PNG', 1, $x, $y, 20) = 1 Then
Send('{ESC}{LCTRL}{LCTRL}{LCTRL}')
sleep(1000)
Else
Send('{LCTRL}')
EndIf
Write a script that runs continuously and call the image search with a hotkey:
HotKeySet('+!e', '_endScript') ; terminate the script with SHIFT+ALT+E
HotKeySet('+!i', '_searchImage') ; calls the image search function with SHIFT+ALT+I
; main loop
While True
Sleep(50)
WEnd
Func _endScript()
Exit
EndFunc
Func _searchImage()
; your image search stuff
EndFunc
But it may be that the other application blocks your hotkeys. Try it.

If statement not working AutoIT

I am having trouble with the code I am writing. I have a table which lists staff member details. I am trying to have an email address copy to the clipboard when you select a record and right click. I have the following code:
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <mssql.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
global $title = "E-Mail address lookup"
global $name = InputBox($title,"Please type the name of the person you wish to find")
global $sqlCon = _MSSQL_Con("server", "username", "password", "directory-plus")
global $result = _MSSQL_GetRecord($sqlCon, "autoit_view","*", "WHERE cn LIKE '%" & StringStripWS($name,3) & "%'")
if StringLen(StringStripWS($name,3)) < 1 then
MsgBox(0, $title, "Name cannot be empty")
Else
Global $rset = UBound($result) - 1
Global $ControlID = GUICreate($title, 500, 150)
Global $idListview = GUICtrlCreateListView("Deparment|E-Mail Address|Name|Telephone Number", 10, 10, 480, 150)
for $count = 1 to $rset step 1
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($result[$count][0] & "|" & $result[$count][2] & "|" & $result[$count][1] & "|" & $result[$count][2], $idListview)
if MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT)==1 Then
ClipPut($result[$count][2])
EndIf
Next
GUISetState(#SW_SHOW)
GUISetState()
While 1
Global $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $Msg
Case -3, $ControlID
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd
EndIf
I would have thought my IF statement within the for loop would do the trick but, when I run my code, it just copies whatever is in email address column in the last row when in fact I want it to copy the email address when you right click on a particular row but I'm not sure how to do it.
Your code has two major problems. The first is that MouseClick() doesn't check for the mouse button being pressed, but instead sends a mouse button click. Since sending a mouse button click is going to succeed, MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT)==1 will evaluate to true. For each list view item you create, you are putting the email address on the clipboard.
The second problem is that the if statement is in the wrong place. It's executed just after you create each list view item.
Instead, change your While statement as follows
While 1
Global $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $Msg
Case -3, $ControlID
Exit
case $GUI_EVENT_SECONDARYDOWN
$selecteditem=StringSplit(GUICtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($idListview)),"|")
if #error=0 and $selecteditem[0]>1 Then
ClipPut($selecteditem[2])
EndIf
EndSwitch
WEnd

AutoIT WinWaitActive doesn't uderstands that window is active

I want to get pixel color from a game and react.
So I have this sript:
#include <Color.au3>
Local $pause = False;
$WinName = "Game" ; Let's say there is a game with this name =)
$hwnd = WinGetHandle($WinName) ; Checked handle with powershell and Au3Info, handle is correct
local $res
Opt("PixelCoordMode", 2);
HotKeySet("{F10}", "exitNow");
HotKeySet("{F11}", "Pause");
While 1
;WinWaitActive($hwnd) ; The script stops here if it is uncommented no matter if window is active or not
if ( $pause ) Then
$res = GetPos();
ConsoleWrite ( StringFormat ("Result color: %s %s", $res[0], $res[1] ) )
Sleep (1000)
EndIf
WEnd
Func exitNow()
Exit
EndFunc
Func Pause()
$pause = Not $pause
EndFunc
Func GetPos()
local $var = Hex(PixelGetColor(5, 5, $hwnd)) ; Only works in windowed mode, FullScreen return some random colors like 00FFFFFF or 00AAAAAA
$var = StringTrimLeft($var,2) ; Removing first 2 numbers they r always 00
local $var1 = Hex(PixelGetColor(15, 5, $hwnd)) ; Only works in windowed mode, FullScreen return some random colors like 00FFFFFF or 00AAAAAA
$var1 = StringTrimLeft($var1,2) ; Removing first 2 numbers they r always 00
local $result[2] = [ $var, $var1 ]
return $result
EndFunc
Main script should before window is active and only then should try to GetPixelColor but that never happens, no matter what I do, i've tried WindowActivate still no result.
a) - What am I doing wrong ? Or may be there is another way to check if window is currently active ?
So at the moment I start script disabled, and when I activate window manually I press F11 to enable.
b) - PixelGetColor only works if game is running in Windowed mode, if it's a fullscreen mode result is unpredictable. Is there a way to make PixelGetColor work in fullscreen.
I've tried to run game x32, x64, DX9 and DX11 in different combinations Fullscreen result is just wrong.
ADDED:
Now While looks like this and that works :)
Thanks to Xenobeologist!!!
While 1
$hwnd = WinGetHandle('[Active]');
If ( $pause ) Then
If WinGetTitle($hwnd) <> $WinName Then
Pause()
ContinueLoop
EndIf
$res = GetPos();
ConsoleWrite ( StringFormat ("Result color: %s %s", $res[0], $res[1] ) )
Sleep (1000)
Else
If WinGetTitle($hwnd) = $WinName Then
Pause()
ContinueLoop
EndIf
EndIf
WEnd
a) is now solved
b) is still not solved. One more thing, topic of this question doesn't say anything bout this question, should add info bout this into the topic or it's better to start a new thread? a) was my main question, it would be prefect to solve b) as well but I can live without it. As far as I understood it's much more complicated. What do you think?
ADDED2:
As far as I understand problem b) can be solved by using more complex code. Here http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/63664-solved-imagesearch-failure-wdirectx-fullscreen-gamewin7/ was discussed pretty same problem. It's AHK and ImageSearch function, but im pretty sure that the reason I get wrong colours in fullscreen is the same. I don't want to complicate code that much and PrintScreen is too slow so I'll use windowed mode and wont be bothering with b).
Does this help?
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
$handle = WinGetHandle('[Active]')
ConsoleWrite('!Title : ' & WinGetTitle($handle) & #CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('!Process : ' & WinGetProcess($handle) & #CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('!Text : ' & WinGetText($handle) & #CRLF)
Sleep(Random(10, 3000, 1))
If WinActive($handle) Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "WinActive" & #CRLF & "Scite ")

AutoIt recent files menu

I have a user's choice which is set as recent files:
$loc = FileSelectFolder("Choose file location...", "\")
$file = FileOpenDialog("Choose file...", $loc, "Jar Files (*.jar*)")
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem($file, $recentfilesmenu)
I have tried to get the information from it through:
IniWrite("C:\Config.ini", "Recent", "Recent", GUICtrlRead($recentfilesmenu))
But it only gives me the number 68. Where is my mistake?
The number 68 is the controlID of the menu.
You need to use _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText to read the text of the menu item:
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiMenu.au3>
$hGui = GUICreate('Read Menu Item', 400, 300)
$mnuFile = GUICtrlCreateMenu('&File')
$mnuFileExit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem('Exit', $mnuFile)
GUISetState()
; read the text of the menu item
$hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenu($hGui)
$sText = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($hMenu, $mnuFileExit, False)
MsgBox(0, 'Menu item text', $sText)
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or $msg = $mnuFileExit Then ExitLoop
WEnd
This outputs: Exit
Update
To pick up Matt's suggestion you can also make use of the advanced parameter for GUICtrlRead which is much shorter:
IniWrite("C:\Config.ini", "Recent", "Recent", GUICtrlRead($recentfilesmenu, 1))

Autoit: Creating a Function?

I have a GUI that records the list of all the chm in a folder. When 'RUN' button is clicked, it will open the first chm in the list until so on. Then I have created a function that should expand the tree.
My problem is my function, it works until MsgBox() and stops there. When I ran my program there is no error indicated.
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiListBox.au3>
#include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
;GUI
$guiTitle = "Automation"
GUICreate($guiTitle, 250, 430)
Global $hWnd = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:HH Parent;TITLE:AutoIt Help]", "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]")
Global $hChild = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstChild($hWnd, 0)
Local $source = InputBox("Source Folder","Please enter the source folder","")
;InputBox
If #error = 1 Then
Exit
EndIf
If #error = 4 Then
Exit
;GUI_List
Else
$add = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show", 10, 53, 230, 20)
$picList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 78, 230, 300)
$run = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run", 170, 385, 70, 30)
GUISetState(#SW_SHOW)
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $msg
;add
Case $add
Global $FileList = _FileListToArray($source, "*.chm")
If #error = 1 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "No Files Found.")
Exit
EndIf
If #error = 4 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "No Files Found.")
Exit
EndIf
For $i = 1 To $FileList[0] ;List_IFIX Pictures
GUICtrlSetData($picList, $FileList[$i])
Next
;run
Case $run
If _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($picList) = 0 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "No Files Found.")
Else
For $i = 1 To $FileList[0]
If Not WinExists("AutoIT Help]") Then
ShellExecute($source & "\" & $FileList[1])
_Expand($hWnd, $hChild)
EndIf
Next
EndIf
;exit
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
EndSwitch
WEnd
EndIf
And here is my function:
Func _Expand($hWnd, $hChild)
WinWaitActive("AutoIT Help")
MsgBox(0,"","Expand")
While 1
$hChild = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNextChild($hWnd, $hChild)
If _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($hWnd, $hChild) = "Tutorials" Then ExitLoop
WEnd
_GUICtrlTreeView_Expand(ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:HH Parent;TITLE:AutoIt Help]","", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]"),$hchild, True)
EndFunc
Lots of problems with the code.
Check your titles! In two cases you have got the window title spelt incorrectly in your example. AutoIt is spelt with a lowercase t, and window title matching is case sensitive unless you set an option otherwise.
If "Tutorials" is not found then you will loop forever. You should add a check after _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNextChild to see if you've reached the end of the treeview.
But the real problem with your code is that you are setting $hWnd and $hChild at the beginning of the code, before you run the process that creates the window. As a result, the window is not found, and so $hWnd will always be NULL when you call _Expand.
This sort of question is not encouraged on stackoverflow. We like questions which will be useful to other people in the future rather than help with specific code. Before asking questions like this in the future, please try and debug the problem yourself. You could add ConsoleWrite statements through the code showing variable values, which would have shown you that $hWnd didn't have a handle value when you enter expand, from there it is obvious.
