I'm having problem with the manipulation of combo item selection when
sending raw message(CB_SETCURSEL) or using the new
feature "SelComboItem" command added in the release 1.50.3-ad.  Both
approaches don't behave the same as a real user selecting an item from
a combo box.

When a real user make a selection from the combo box, a notification
(CBN_SELCHANGE) is sent, but the GUITEST32 will only make the change
to the current selected item, but won't be triggering the windows
notification message.  I guess it works fine for most of the cases,
except mine;-)  I have more than one combo boxes, the contents of 2nd
combo depending on the selected item of 1st combo.  What I'm doing
inside the application is to handle the CBN_SELCHANGE notification of
1st combo and depending on what's being selected, I'll populate the
contents of 2nd combo box.  As the CBN_SELCHANGE is not sent, my
application behaved different when using GUITEST and failed my test
case;(

Any suggestions?

Hi All,
  Can anyone point me to resources/scripts which will
be helpfull in controling settings of
IE->Options->Security->ActiveX stuff

Thnx in advance,
Shri

Hmm...
Good point. It behaves as expected. CBN_SELCHANGE documentation on
MSDN says that it is not triggered when CB_SETCURSEL is used.
But during the human interaction with GUI application, in 99.99%
CBN_SELCHANGE will be sent. This may lead to unexpected failures of
automated tests.
The workaround could be calling SelComboItem and then SendKeys
( "arrow up" "arrow down" ) (so the net effect is "no change").

The issue should be logged in the bugs or issues database on
project's site on the source forge. The best person to do it would be
Wenjie (as a discoverer)

You could use the following that simulates a Win-d

SendRawKey(VK_LWIN, 0);
SendKeys('d');
SendRawKey(VK_LWIN, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP)

Hello,

The best source of information is the ReadMe file and example
scripts; which are available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winguitest

It is also recommended that you first learn a bit about Perl
(www.perl.org), since this is a Perl module.

If you have a specific question, please let me know.

I'm useing win32 guitest to automate some unscriptable applications
(not something I wrote, no OLE or WMI as options)

I'm having trouble with tabbed navigation.  Where buttons can be
controlled ala:

    PushChildButton($fgWindow, "^OK\$");

Tabs seem to have to be clicked with coordinates relative to the
entire screen, and I can't always guarantee the window I need to
interact with will open in the same place everytime.

Is their a way to get those coordinates relative to the active window?
   Better yet, is their a way to determine which tab to activate
without coordinate based mouse clicks?

You can use ClientToScreen and ScreenToClient to convert coordinates
back and forth in Win32::GuiTest 1.50.3-ad from CPAN.

($x,$y) = ScreenToClient(hwnd,x,y)
($x,$y) = ClientToScreen(hwnd,x,y)

There are also the following functions to work with tabs:

GetTabItems($window)
     Returns a list of a tab control's labels.

SelTabItem($window, $idx)
     Selects a tab based off an index (zero-based).

SelTabItemText($window, $txt)
     Selects a tab based off text label (case insensitive).

IsTabItemSel($window, $txt)
    Determines if the specified tab item is selected.

Hope some of that helps.

Hi,

Great module, I started using it and run into slight problem.
I'm mapping and unmapping drives in WinXP, so when I get to
disconnect network drive window, it consist of ListView32
window with list of currently connected drives. After
executing GetListViewContets on this window, I get back a list with 5
items, which is the correct number of drives currently mapped, but
when I try to print out contents of the items, it just print blanks.
So I can't figure out which disk to select with SelListViewItem.

Here is the piece of code I use:

##...bunch of code to get the window.....
@disconnect_drive_window = FindWindowLike(0, "Disconnect Network
Drives");
@ndrives_list_window = FindWindowLike($disconnect_drive_window
[0], "Network Drives", "SysListView32", DRIVES_LIST_BOX);
my @lst = GetListViewContents($ndrives_list_window[0]);
for (@lst) {
    print "[$_]\n";
}

Any help would be appriciated...

Also as a side note, if I want to help with the development or
contribute to the development who do I ask?:)

You could try to send a TCM_SETCURSEL message to the tab control's handle.
TCM_SETCURSEL takes the 0-based index of the desired tab item as WParam
and 0 as LParam and should select the tab item.

I'm having a problem getting the contents of a SysListView32 with
multiple columns using GetListViewContents.  I noticed that a few
other people are also having problems.  Is this feature on anyone's
todo list?  It would be well worth my time to implement this feature,
but don't have any experience with the Windows API.

Has anyone had any luck getting data from the SysHeader32 control?

Anyone have a work-around?

Thanks for the great tool!

Hi I have Active Perl5.8 on a WinXP professional setup. I am trying to
install the package but when I follow the instructions it tells me
that it cannot find the target to install.
Would this be because of a difference between ActivePerl5.6 and 5.8
possibly?
Thanks very much.

To be exact the error is:
Error: no suitable installation target found for pacakge Win32-GuiTest

I am not an expert with ppm actually the first time I am using it. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Check the link
http://www.piotrkaluski.com/files/winguitest/docs/index.html
It is far from complete. But I believe it offers some ordering and a
framework for further development.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Probably the first thing to do
would be to make sure that each function is documented. Have a look at
what is documented and please send me sections for non-documented
functions or improvements of already documented functions (like
examples).

Any constructive comments are more then welcome.

Hello,
I'm having some problems with the isKeyPressed function. I've tried
the example eg/keypress from cpan.

Here's the url:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Win32-GuiTest/Examples.pm#eg/keypress.pl

Everthing works fine first. It recognizes the keys ESC F5 F11 F12, but
then the key A is just ignored. Nothing happens.
Does anyone know how to use isKeyPressed with normal letters?

Thanks a lot for your help. I appreciate it.

Hello ,

I am getting the error "Could not find Paint" when I run the
following script:

         use strict;

          use Win32::GuiTest qw(:ALL);

          system("start mspaint");

         sleep 2;
         my @windows = FindWindowLike(0, "Paint", "");
         die "Could not find Paint\n" if not @windows;


I am using the ActivePerl for running the scripts.

I think the statement: system("start mspaint"); is not getting
executed.

What may be the reason and how should I solve this problem.

Regards,
Vishal Kharge

I would try giving it more time. Try to sleep for 10 seconds (instead
of 2) and see if it helps

Since you doubt system("start mspaint"); is getting executed, make
sure you can go to Start > Run and execute mspaint.  On Windows ?
and above it will be called "pbrush" instead.

As a side note, it is best practice to use WaitWindowLike() and if
you still need to account for any user delays in "testing" you
can "add" the sleep statement following the WaitWindowLike() call.

Also, if problem persists check the return value of the system and
print out the contents of the $! builtin variable to find more
information.

Hello,

I tried this application a few weeks ago and a Windows message came
up stating I was missing a required DLL....  Therefore, we might
want to think about dynamically loading the various controls
instead.   That way, if a control can not be created we can act
accordingly..

Without being able to examine this module it is hard to tell.  If it
responds to standard windows messages, existing functions may work.
Several variables to deal with here, so without more details and a
control to work with, we won't have much luck.

This issue will need to be looked at.  If you have a moment to
document it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/winguitest, please do
so.  As far as SysHeader32, it should be a walk-in-the-park, time
permitting; which it hasn't been for me as of late.

Which version of the module are you trying to install?  Latest
versions are usually built around 5.8.  If your not already, you may
have to download the zip from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winguitest and install it locally
using ppm.

This is probably due to case-sensitivity, try IsKeyPressed("a")
instead.

Which dll is missing? On which version of Windows?

-Piotr

Well for me it was Windows XP and one of the MFC*.DLLs.  I had no
development tools installed on this machine, so it won't have the
numerous DLLs that come with VS...  If you could give me an updated
link to your test application, I can give you the specific details.
I can also try it on a Windows 95 box.

Vishal,
   Make sure you can launch mspaint from the command prompt.  If you
can't, you'll have to adjust your path.  Alternatively, you could
adjust your scripts 'system' command to:
    system("start C:\\windows\\mspaint");
(you might have to make alterations for your configuration) and see
if your script now runs.

Good luck,
Mike

Hi,

What you need is EHLLAPI / WinHLLAPI.

EHLLAPI is a standard programming interface which allows programmatic
access to a host emulator session. Functions are provided for reading
