Depending on the type of edit-control, accValue is most likely implemented as read-only. There's no "set_accValue" defined:

You can (usually...) set the focus to the control by calling "accSelect" with the flag SELFLAG_TAKEFOCUS (0x1):
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... 85%29.aspx

Untested:

Code: Select all

children[11].accSelect(0x1,0)

Then you can use SendInput or whatever you like to set the new text.

Elgin wrote:"Path", "4, 11"? Is that something specific to "acc.ahk" (which I don't use)?

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force
#include Acc.ahk

WinGet,hWnd,id, SOMETITLE
window := Acc_ObjectFromWindow(hWnd) 
children := Acc_Children(window) 
grandchildren := Acc_Children(children[4])
grandchildren[11].accSelect(0x1,0)
MsgBox % grandchildren[11].accValue(0) 

Again untested.

WinGet,hWnd,id, SOMETITLE
window := Acc_ObjectFromWindow(hWnd) 
children := Acc_Children(window) 
Msgbox, % children[11].accValue(0) 

acc := Acc_Get("Object", "4,11", 0, "SOMETITLE")
MsgBox, % acc.accValue(0)

This bugged me, so I downloaded acc.ahk from here (so we're sure we're talking about the same thing...):
https://github.com/Drugoy/Autohotkey-sc ... es/Acc.ahk

On a freshly started Win10 File Explorer instance (to make sure the window title is "File Explorer") this code:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force
#include Acc.ahk

WinGet,hWnd,id, File Explorer
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", "4.5.4.1.4.9.4.1.4.1.4.1.4.1", 0, "ahk_id " hWnd) ; selects the Search Quick Access edit field
MsgBox % Acc_Role(oAcc) "; " Acc_State(oAcc) ; should read "editable text; focusable" if the above went well
WinActivate, File Explorer
oAcc.accSelect(0x1,0)
SendInput, New.mp3
Sleep, 100
MsgBox, % oAcc.accValue(0) ; should read "New.mp3"

puts the focus in the Search Quick Access edit field, enters new text and displays the new value.

Have you confirmed the path to the control you want in AccViewer?

Anyway here is a working code using "set focus" and "ControlSend":

Code: Select all

acc := acc_get("Object", "4.11", 0, "New Download")
acc.accDoDefaultAction(0) ; Set Focus
ControlSend,, ^a ; Select All
ControlSendRaw,, New_Value_Here

I've been struggling to get this to work for about a year. Was discouraged and gave up. But I tried now with more knowledge and intuition using AHK to finally get a result.

Code: Select all

	!q:: ; acc viewer / acc.ahk test
	CumulNN:= "WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0." SageWinClassPattern "_r38_ad17"
	ControlGet,hCtl, HWND,, %CumulNN%, Chèques de paie
		 ;Acc_Get(Cmd, ChildPath="", ChildID=0, WinTitle="", WinText="", ExcludeTitle="", ExcludeText="")
	oAcc:= acc_get("Object", "4.2.6", 0, "ahk_id " hCtl)
	MsgBox, % oAcc.accValue(0)
	return

This is able to get a precise value that is not seen by Window Spy.

I need to:

1. get the Control's Hwnd[/b ] using its ClassNN 1st.
2. get the path of that control with Acc Viewer wihich reveals 2.6 when focusing the cross directly onto the wanted control... 2.6 is not enough because it is relative to another container for this control.
3. get the path of the container above the control's path which is 4
4. sum it up to 4.2.6 as the childPath and it will find the value
