I use the Win32::GuiTest module to interact with the MLS database in Northern
Virginia. I have found no other way to negotiate the website and use the
Javascript actions on the pages necessary to retrieve the data I need for my
website.
I control an instance of IExplorer in order to navigate through seven pages to
export a search result from listings available on the real estate website. This
program runs from task manager once every two hours and is a life saver for
updating my database.

I get occasional mistakes with SendKeys but not so bad as to make me turn my
back on the module.

Would that be the monkey-test script that I posted on the

and perlmonks http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=357341 and

Hi, I have started perl GUI test few days ago and I am very happy with the
initial API which I am using.For demo purpose I have developed script for
calculator testing. I am Planning for presentation in my comp after doig some
more projects and real work.

Hi,

I am using Win32::GuiTest (the only automation tool :) ) to test our
company's vsC++ application.  I found this tool about 5 months ago and
loving it.  From basic control to advance control, I able to write
mall test scripts as well as building an over all regression GUI test.
This tool really give me the feeling that I know what I'm coding and
in control.

Thanks for the great tool.

I'm currently using it for automating our installation program
tests.  We have a big, and stupid, paper checklist of stuff we have
to do to make sure our dialog boxes are still working.  I'm killing
that with Perl. It's actually growing to become a decent-sized suite
using the other Perl testing libraries.

I'd rather use Ruby - but the Ruby windows automation project isn't
finished yet and I really don't have the time to put into helping out
with that.

Hi,

I used initially and made my team also to use it. Right now I moved to
another role so not doing much with it.

I would suggest that if possible please share the class room material
for your classes so more and more QA professionals will be benefited.

Thanks for your good work.

Subject: [perlguitest] Are you using Win32::GuiTest?

Hi,

during my classes "Perl for QA professionals" - among many other
things - I have been teaching how to use Win32::GuiTest for more than
2 years now. I am also a "maintainer" of the module though I have
worked on it very little.
On the other habd I have never needed it in real life projects as most
of my
work is done on Linux.

I also see very low traffic on the mailing list so I wonder if you
people are using it.
I very much would like to know if there are real life uses of the
module out there?
If you are using it, what are you doing with it?

If you are using other things to automate interaction with Windows
GUI, what other
tools are you using? What kind of things are you doing with that?

ps.
Invitations for live training classes are welcome

is there any downsides of useing the recorder

Hi All,

I have seen an example in perlguitest about opening notepad and
enter
some words in there.
Would anyone please explain to me what is the number #32770, 0x470,
and ComboBox and how to get these name/value ?
Suppose I am doing something on the ComBobox and what I should do to
go back to the window 0 ?


# Open the Font dialog
SendKeys(OpenFont);

# Find the Font dialog using the title and window class
# The Font dialog isn't a child of the notepad window
my ($fontdlg) = FindWindowLike(0, FontTxt(), "#32770"); die "Where
is
the Font dialog?\n" unless $fontdlg;
# Find the right combo using it's control id
my ($combo) = FindWindowLike($fontdlg, "", "ComboBox", 0x470);
die "Where is the combo with the font names?" unless $combo;
SendKeys("Arial");

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

   I didn't get your question exactly but  what have been observed :

   #32770 is a windows class name and it is used to find the windows handle by
using FindWindowLike();
   and if u want to get the class name of any window then there are tools
available like Winspy , Autoit etc all are free ... using this tools you can
easily get the desire window class name ,control Id etc .

   Vidhut

Yes, that looks like it - Google found it for me on perlmonks.org.  Thanks!  I
did a good deal of tweaking to make it more robust and to customize it to
dismiss the various dialogs that the particular application might pop up.  It's
difficult to make even a simple monkey test robust.

Hello,

At this point there are a couple of downsides of using the recorder...
  It primarily records only mouse and keyboard interactions with little
support for control-specific functions.  Also, it seems (maybe just
for me) that with recent Windows updates, the recorder may crash
occasionally.

I haven't had much time lately to enhance the recorder, but welcome
any help in doing that.

Dennis K. Paulsen

Hi,

Thanks for answering !
I have the admin rights to those workstations. Yet I am not
allowed to change drastically the installed programs on them -
for example install perl ; (
But - I am able to copy executable files and run them (I can
create them with perl2exe as soon as they do not brake the
security policy of our company.
The limitations are due to the strict firewall rules - e.g. even
the http pipe is open it could be used only by iexplore.exe
firefox.exe and some others I do not really know and I am not
supposed to know, because of my position in the company ; )
That is why I chosed this solution, otherwise it seeems to me
that curl or LWP could have been the best choice for file
uploading via http.
Actually I got the file upload cgi script on the server side so
basically from those workstations I am able to updload manually
those files (even > 1 MB ) on the server.
I am missing the client gui implementation ( perl qui script
made into executable ) and some security stuff.
So all more clever than me (Your total number is devastatingly
greate ; ), please advise

Hi All,

I am writing a gui automation test for a fpga flow. For instance if
I click on icon A then run tool A, then click on icon B then run
tool B

MouseMoveAbsPix($left+50,490); <------ click on icon A
sleep(3);
SendMouse("{RightClick}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{ENTER}"); <-------------- execute A
sleep(30);
MouseMoveAbsPix($rightF+60,$topF-20);<------ click on icon B
SendMouse("{LeftClick}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{RIGHT}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{DOWN}");
SendKeys("{ENTER}");
SendKeys("test.scr");
PushButton("OK");
sleep 5;
SendKeys("{LEFT}");
SendKeys("{ENTER}"); <-------------- execute A

The problem is the timing. Sometimes some designs need longer
runtime in tool A even I do set sleep(30) and it still go to execute
tool B. Because tool B needs output from tool A so it hangs there.
I have problem with this and would like to have your help.

Thanks

Is there an indication when tool A is done executing? like a wndow pops or
something. If there is then u might haev to do FindWindowLike in a loop tiil d
window appears ofcourse making sure it doesnt do a death loop.
Another option would be for u to start the  Tool A in a synchronous process and
wait for the process to return b4 proceeding to start tool B

I want use this module for identifying Table/Grid, Rows in Table/Grid

if anyone has details or Code Snippets...
pls send it to me..

waiting for Valuable reply..

Hi

I have difficulties accessing a ComboBox located in a toolbar. The
situation is similar to accessing the Font name ComboList in MsWord.
The ComboBox has a specific ID that allows actions such as browsing
through it's entries and selecting from a larger variety of ComboBoxes.
How do I find the correct id? And it's not widely valuable solution to
use tools such as Winspy or spy, because i need my program to be
portable.

Thanks alot,

Cristian

Hello

I have installed Win32::GuiTest v.1.3 and when trying to use GetMenu,
GetMenuItemInfo, GetSubMenu or GetMenuItemCount methods of that package
I get the following message: "Undefinedsubrutine &main::GetMenu

does anyone have any idea if it is possible to get the colour of a

I think you forgot to add the following line to the beginning of your

Use Win32::GuiTest;



Add it and the script should work fine

Hi I agree with Vidyut,

   The new version of Perl GUI test 1.50.05 will work for You. I faced same few
days ago but after installing new version problem got solved.

No. Windows does not allow a window to be in 'Front' on a locked system.
You also cannot move from locked to unlocked, but you can use a script
to edit the registry to allow autologin and then reboot into an unlocked
state, run your script, then reedit registry and reboot to locked state.
But the computer will and must be unlocked during the duration of the
SendKeys scripts.
