How to select a Class NN control Topic is solved

[OCP]

hello folks

i am trying to eliminate the need for mouse clicks on positions so my script could work elsewhere without the need of editing coordinates, what i need is to access a class nn control, i want to move away from using mouse click completely where ever i can but i lack the knowledge to do it, i started using ahk about 7 months ago

right now i can get what i want by using a mouse click but that is unreliable in some cased
(see the commented out part in the vid to see how i do it now)

the class nn i need to access
ClassNN: TQuickEdit1
Text:
Color: 2F383D (Red=2F Green=38 Blue=3D)

i figured it would be easy-er to just show it in a small video

Have you tried controlClick?
It has always been a hit or miss command for me and acts differently with different windows, but it might work for you.

Seeing that your end goal is to send text to the control, you can omit clicking on it and just try going for ControlSend.

Code: Select all

;https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/ControlClick.htm
;ControlClick , Control-or-Pos, WinTitle, WinText, WhichButton, ClickCount, Options, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText

ControlClick ,TQuickEdit1, Remote control settings


;https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/ControlSend.htm
;ControlSend , Control, Keys, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText
;ControlSendRaw: Same parameters as above.

maybe try with ControlSetText

Possibly it would help to do ControlFocus prior to Click/MouseClick/ControlClick.

Try

ControlSend, TQuickEdit1, 12345, Remote control settings
