AutoItLibrary: Control Set Text

[teegee]

Hi,

I'm trying to populate some controls in a windows application using AutoItLibrary.

When I fire up Au3Info I get the following information:

I tried two things, neither of which work:

*** Variables ***

${SelcalGeneratorTitle}    Selcal Test Waveform Generator V3.1

*** Test Cases ***

Test Selcals

    Control Set Text    ${SelcalGeneratorTitle}    ""    [CLASS:TkChild;INSTANCE:47]    8

    Control Set Text    ${SelcalGeneratorTitle}        [CLASS:TkChild;INSTANCE:47]    8

The first one appears to be working but the value in the control doesn't change.

Documentation:	method ControlSetText
Start / End / Elapsed:	20161011 10:04:34.885 / 20161011 10:04:34.896 / 00:00:00.011

The second one is throwing an error: com_error: (-2147352561, 'Parameter not optional.', None, None)

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

  Tom

The second one is throwing an error because you did not supply a value in it which is mandatory field.

Try using ${EMPTY} variable in control_set_text second parameter

Thanks Jayson.

Unfortunately, that doesn't make it work either.

you should follow that :

Ok, I tried this:

*** Variables ***
${SelcalGenerator}    selcal_generator_v3_1.exe

${SelcalGeneratorTitle}    Selcal Test Waveform Generator V3.1

${NumberOfTonesElement}    TkChild47
${NumberOfTones}    8

*** Keywords ***
Start SelcalGenerator
    AutoItLibrary.Run    ${SelCalGenerator}
    Wait for Active Window    ${SelcalGeneratorTitle}
    Control Set Text    strTitle=${SelcalGeneratorTitle}    strText=${EMPTY}    strControl=${NumberOfTonesElement}    strControlText=${NumberOfTones}

Still not working.

 

You can get the executable here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25809020/selcal_generator_v3_1.7z

I blame the application. Must not be compatible. I can get it to work with others

Consider this fixed
