Junkew, Thanks for the help. Yes your suggestions sped the test up quite a bit. I will implement your suggestions in my code. I said above that our company is converting a Windows app to UWP, and I want to convert my automated tests to work with the new UWP interface. I'm unable to share our app due to IP, so I built a basic UWP app that simulates part of an app we are converting to UWP. It's just 3 buttons with message boxes responding to clicking any of the main buttons. The package was too big to include, so I included the Visual Studio 2015 source, attached as UITest.7z. Using your tools I am able to click the any of the 3 main buttons (AutoIt source below only clicks the first button) but am unable to get AutoIt to click the OK or Exit buttons that pop up after clicking one of the main buttons. My AutoIt source from SimpleSpy is below. I have not implemented any of your recommendations from above yet, so pardon the messy code. #include "UIAWrappers.au3" AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1) Local $oP1=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($UIA_oDesktop, "Title:=UITest;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=ApplicationFrameWindow", $treescope_children) _UIA_Action($oP1,"setfocus") Local $oP0=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP1, "Title:=UITest;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow", $treescope_children) _UIA_Action($oP0,"setfocus") ;~ First find the object in the parent before you can do something ;~$oUIElement=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll("ButtonOne.mainwindow", "title:=Button One;ControlType:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree) Local $oUIElement=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP0, "title:=Button One;ControlType:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree) ;~_UIA_action($oUIElement,"highlight") _UIA_action($oUIElement,"click") ;~~~ ; ^ Works ; ; v Doesn't work ;~~~ Local $oP5=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($UIA_oDesktop, "Title:=UITest;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=ApplicationFrameWindow", $treescope_children) _UIA_Action($oP5,"setfocus") Local $oP4=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP5, "Title:=;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=Shell_Dialog", $treescope_children) _UIA_Action($oP4,"setfocus") Local $oP3=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP4, "Title:=Dialog window;controltype:=UIA_PaneControlTypeId;class:=FlyoutElement", $treescope_children) _UIA_Action($oP3,"setfocus") ;~ First find the object in the parent before you can do something $oUIElement=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll("OK.mainwindow", "title:=OK;ControlType:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree) Local $oUIElement=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP3, "title:=OK;ControlType:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree) _UIA_action($oUIElement,"highlight") _UIA_action($oUIElement,"click") As I said, the first button gets clicked by the app, opening the dialog box. However I can't get the second part to click the OK button. Apologies if I have missed something simple. I renamed the $op variables in the second part in case duplication was causing problems. I also uncommented two lines in the bottom part just in case they were necessary (no joy there...) If you see where I'm going wrong trying to get the OK button to press, please let me know! I truly appreciate your assistance! Jibs UITest.7z

However I have a long way to go! If you have other solutions or ways to shorten this code, please feel free to post examples!

There are two examples from SimpleSpy. The above is from the first example. This is from the 2nd example and starts calc and then apparently clicks the Windows button on my desktop. #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <constants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <debug.au3> #include "CUIAutomation2.au3" #include "UIAWrappers.au3" #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y ;Should be used for stuff like tagpoint having right struct etc. when running on a 64 bits os Local $oDesktop run("calc.exe") AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1) Local $oP2=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($UIA_oDesktop, "Title:=Calculator;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=ApplicationFrameWindow", $treescope_children) _UIA_Action($oP2,"setfocus") Local $oP1=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP2, "Title:=Calculator;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow", $treescope_children) _UIA_Action($oP1,"setfocus") Local $oP0=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP1, "Title:=;controltype:=UIA_GroupControlTypeId;class:=LandmarkTarget", $treescope_children) ;~ First find the object in the parent before you can do something ;~$oUIElement=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll("One.mainwindow", "title:=One;ControlType:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree) Local $oUIElement=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll($oP0, "title:=One;ControlType:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree) ;~_UIA_action($oUIElement,"highlight") _UIA_action($oUIElement,"click") I had deleted the SimpleSpy output so I ran it again. The entire output is attached for anyone who wants to play with it to see if they get the same results as mine. SimpleSpyOutputCalc.au3

Using SimpleSpy and some of the code from above I got this working: #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <constants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <debug.au3> #include "CUIAutomation2.au3" #include "UIAWrappers.au3" #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y ;Should be used for stuff like tagpoint having right struct etc. when running on a 64 bits os Local $oDesktop run("calc.exe") ;~ *** Standard code maintainable *** AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1) _UIA_setVar("oP1","Title:=Calculator;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=ApplicationFrameWindow") ;Calculator _UIA_setVar("oP2","Title:=Calculator;controltype:=UIA_WindowControlTypeId;class:=Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow") ;Calculator _UIA_setVar("oP3","Title:=;controltype:=UIA_GroupControlTypeId;class:=LandmarkTarget") ; ;~ $oUIElement=_UIA_getObjectByFindAll("One.mainwindow", "title:=One;ControlType:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId", $treescope_subtree) _UIA_setVar("oUIElement","Title:=One;controltype:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId;class:=Button") ;ControlType:=UIA_ButtonControlTypeId;classname:=Button") ;~ Actions split away from logical/technical definition above can come from configfiles ;~_UIA_Action("oP1","highlight") _UIA_Action("oP1","setfocus") ;~_UIA_Action("oP2","highlight") _UIA_Action("oP2","setfocus") ;~_UIA_Action("oP3","highlight") _UIA_Action("oP3","setfocus") _UIA_action("oUIElement","highlight") _UIA_action("oUIElement","click") Takes a while for the button to be pushed... about 8 seconds. I wonder if there is unnecessary code here. Haven't tried anything else yet. I wanted to post the solution I found so others didn't have to (other solutions are welcome however!)

Just noticed I had a leftover line from the original source: $oNotepad=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($oDesktop,"class:=Notepad", $treescope_children) Removed it and still get the error, as I expected.

Thanks @careca, I followed your example with just pressing '1' in calc. However I get an error I don't understand. #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <constants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <debug.au3> #include "CUIAutomation2.au3" #include "UIAWrappers.au3" #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y ;Should be used for stuff like tagpoint having right struct etc. when running on a 64 bits os Local $oDesktop run("calc.exe") $oCalc=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($oDesktop,"class:=CalcFrame", $treescope_children) $oNotepad=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($oDesktop,"class:=Notepad", $treescope_children) $sText="1" $oButton=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($oCalc,"name:=" & $sText, $treescope_subtree) $oInvokeP=_UIA_getpattern($oButton,$UIA_InvokePatternID) $oInvokeP.Invoke >Running:(3.3.14.2):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\autoit3_x64.exe "C:\Scripts\Calc_Push_1_Test.au3" --> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop "C:\Scripts\Calc_Push_1_Test.au3" (21) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".: $oInvokeP.Invoke $oInvokeP^ ERROR ->15:22:02 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:1 The calculator opens but no button push due to the error.

Thanks @aa2zz6, I figured I was missing something simple. I just couldn't see it! I also had to move this line $sUserInput = GUICtrlRead($idInput) to here: Case $idBtn $sUserInput = GUICtrlRead($idInput) GUIDelete() ExitLoop Now it's working! Cheers!

Hi, I am having the same problem as Shirdish. I checked Danyfirex's solution and I have that line (line 84 above is line 47 in my code). Still returns blank. It's late so I'm posting my code here in the hopes someone can figure out what I've done wrong, and I can fix it and move on sometime tomorrow! This is the beginning of a search program. I have the search working in another function, I just wanted to add some features. When finished, it will look in the specific Log file for the search parameter. I've generalized the SelectSearchFile func to look in whatever directory this is run in, since that part really doesn't matter at this point.

I was having trouble finding simplespy, and was asking here where it was. Then I found it. Thanks Jibberish

I need to read log files into an array to search for errors. However when I display the array I get garbage or "chinese characters". Our developers say they are using UTF-8, but FileGetEncoding says the logs are "2048" or $FO_UTF16_BE_NOBOM (2048) = Use Unicode UTF16 Big Endian (without BOM) from the Encoding codes in FileOpen(). There is an app called Detenc that detects the encoding used by files. You have to guess, but it returns correctly when I set the Encoder for UTF-8. I understand Encoding is not etched in stone, but the first character of the file is a capital B, using HxD Hex Editor. I even have another topic here about running PowerShell to reencode the file so AutoIt will store the file properly in the array - See: So I am trying to figure out why AutoIt thinks my logs are not UTF-8. Here is sample code: #include <array.au3> #include <File.au3> Local $aRetArrayFile _FileReadToArray("C:\Logs\Myplayer1.log", $aRetArrayFile) _ArrayDisplay($aRetArrayFile) I won't post the results as it is illegible, but I did attach a screenshot of the _ArrayDisplay results, and this is the first line of the Log file: BANNER 10/10/2017 15:56:00 ====================================================================== And the Hex from the beginning of the file: 42 41 4E 4E 45 52 20 31 30 2F 31 30 2F 32 30 31 37 20 31 34 3A 33 31 3A 33 35 20 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 3D 0D 0A 42 41 4E 4E 45 52 20 So I don't understand why AutoIt thinks the file is UTF16 BE. If I can get the Powershell script running, I have a workaround. BTW none of my other arrays display as garbage, just the log files. Weird. Rereading my post, what seems to be missing is the question. I guess my question is, does anyone know why these logs are being displayed incorrectly? Cheers Jibs

Yes I did, and thanks!

Hi all, I need to read a log file into an array, but the log file is encoded as $FO_UTF16_BE_NOBOM (2048) = Use Unicode UTF16 Big Endian (without BOM) per FileGetEncoding (it returns 2048). I have searched how to convert these log files to UTF-8 and finally found a Powershell command. Since then I have been racking my brain trying to get the function to work. The command itself works from a Powerscript prompt: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command Get-Content C:\Logs\Myplayer_10-10-17-02-31.log | Set-Content -Encoding utf8 C:\Logs\Myplayer1.log This is my sandbox; #include <array.au3> #include <File.au3> Local $aArrayLogFile Local $sLogDir = "C:\Logs\" Local $sLogFile = "Myplayer_10-10-17-02-31.log" Local $sConvertedLog = "ConvertedLog.log" Local $sLogDirFile = $sLogDir&$sLogFile RunWait("C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command Get-Content "&$sLogDirFile&" | Set-Content -Encoding utf8 "&$sConvertedLog,$sLogDir) _FileReadToArray($sLogDirFile, $aArrayLogFile) _ArrayDisplay($aArrayLogFile) Also tried RunWait("C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command Get-Content "&$sLogDirFile&" | Set-Content -Encoding utf8 "&$sConvertedLog,$sLogDir) and ShellExecuteWait("C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"," -Command Get-Content "&$sLogDirFile&" | Set-Content -Encoding utf8 "&$sConvertedLog,$sLogDir) Tried without -Command and a bunch of other parameters that were sprinkled throughout the internet from people trying to get this to work. Thanks Jibs

Hello all, I searched the forums for UWP but got nothing helpful. Our team is going to move from our current code to UWP and rebuild our app. I use AutoIt to automate long boring tests. Does anyone know how AutoIt plays with UWP programs? Thanks! Jibberish
