An OLD favorite Confusion: Class NN and still foggy!

[iilabs]

Hello AHK aficionados,

I'm back to an old blunder Ive never figured out how to deal with Class NN?, I'm trying to activate some GUI buttons and fields in a 3rd party program and avoiding mouse moves, delays, clicks, etc. I'll be using this repetitively for building other variables.

Any ideas how I can streamline the current code? This is how the GUI appears after pressing F7.
I'm trying to engage the Class NN and ahk_class as detailed in the png.
However, I cant seem to activate and likely missing some key steps. Maybe there is another way to skin this nasty cat?

You can run this test script that shows you how to use ControlClick, but this is a button rather than text. The documentation shows how to activate controls, too. See Control and ControlFocus.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33
winTitle := "ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI"
classNN  := "Button1"
showDummyGui()

F3::ControlClick % classNN, % winTitle

showDummyGui() {
 Gui Font, s10
 Gui Add, Button, w230, Test
 Gui Show, x200
}

buttonTest() {
 MsgBox 64, Success, 123
}

That worked great . Only one that didnt work was:

ClassNN: EPListWnd1

Somehow did get a focus? Maybe it’s not a button but a list that needs to be clicked to activate? Any clue? It’s the only one requiring mouse movement and click so I can live with it. Just curious as to why it didn't work but rest did. At least that was awesome.

Thanks again as always, mikeyww!

The name suggests a non-button-- perhaps a list of some type-- but I do not know anything more.

Is there a way to engage it other than control click? Using com? Of DLL?

[mikeyww]

Not sure, though you can try the Control command.

UI Automation is another approach.

So I tried several commands without luck. Can you point me in the right direction for the UI automation. Is this a seperate class I need to download and include in my script?
