I would like to automate the process of checking for Windows updates after a routine that I am running. I am able to extract the following information from the Windows Updates screen using AutoIT Window Info:
AutoIt
>>>> Window <<<< Title: Windows Update Class: CabinetWClass Position: 1956, 141 Size: 1004, 897 Style: 0x14CF0000 ExStyle: 0x00000100 Handle: 0x000F0F1C >>>> Control <<<< Class: DirectUIHWND Instance: 3 ClassnameNN: DirectUIHWND3 Name: Advanced (Class): [CLASS:DirectUIHWND; INSTANCE:3] ID: Text: Position: 0, 35 Size: 988, 801 ControlClick Coords: 58, 103 Style: 0x56000000 ExStyle: 0x00010000 Handle: 0x0008102E >>>> Mouse <<<< Position: 2022, 309 Cursor ID: 0 Color: 0x651C73 >>>> StatusBar <<<< 1: >>>> ToolsBar <<<< >>>> Visible Text <<<< Address: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update Windows Update ShellView >>>> Hidden Text <<<< &Install updates Turn on &automatic updates &Check for updates &Stop installation Try &again &Restart now &Install now
And when I try to run this command for "Control Click" to automate clicking the "Check for updates" button, I get nothing. Can anyone spot the error? I suspect I need to do something because the text is hidden but I didn't see anything in the help file regarding this.
#include <File.au3> #include <Constants.au3> Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & '%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler wuapp.exe', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) WinActivate("Windows Update") ControlClick("Windows Update", "", "[CLASS:DirectUIHWND; TEXT:&Check for updates; INSTANCE:3]")
Thanks in advance!
