( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

You've got a few options to choose from. First, there's Spy++ utility from Microsoft that is part of their Visual Studio package. From some blog posts that I found, it looks like the Express versions of Visual Studio do not have the Spy++ utility.

If you don't want to purchase Visual Studio, you've got a few free alternatives. In the examples from Win32::GuiTest, there are spy-- and spy. Since I personally haven't tried either, I can't tell you much about either example scripts.

There's a freeware utility called WinSpy++ that is "based around the Spy++ utility that ships with Microsoft Visual Studio". Again, I haven't used it so I can't provide any more details on it. Recently, someone had posted a question here in the monastery looking for a newer version of WinSpy++ that would work with Windows 7.

Another alternative is to check out AutoIt, which is a freeware tool set that can be used to automate GUI based applications like you can with Win32::GuiTest. One of the tools that they provide is the AutoIt Window Info tool, which can help provide information about the GUI application that you're wanting to automate. In fact, I used this same tool to help find window IDs to modify the calc.pl example from Win32::GuiTest. You can look at my modified code at Re: Problems with WIN32::GUITEST.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
