Microsoft's SCRIPTIT is a Compiled Winbatch EXE

Keywords: 	   scriptit

Question:

When I have multiple windows displayed which have the same title or a condition where the contents of a window change but not the title, how can I send keys:
  1. to the correct window?
  2. when the contents that I need to automate are displayed?
In essence i am looking for a capability similar to that found in MS's Scriptit where you can send keys to a window based on a window title and some text in that window.

Answer:

  1. ScriptIt is just a compiled WInBatch script.

  2. It is done usually with a
    WinItemChild("parent window name")
    
    to itemize the child windows of a parent. Then you can check the list of child windows.

  3. The Control manager extender is also useful here.

  4. If you search the database you can find a ScriptIt to WinBatch converter to help you get started translating your scripts.
