This guide illustrates how to use AutoIt for automating interactions with the Windows Calculator and Notepad applications. It covers how to click buttons, locate elements, and manipulate text boxes. The examples provided assume familiarity with the AutoIt scripting language and its UI Automation libraries.

Key Features Demonstrated:

  1. Clicking Buttons: The script demonstrates how to programmatically click buttons within the Calculator application.
  2. Finding UI Elements: Instructions are provided on how to accurately identify button labels (note that these labels must match your system's language).
  3. Interacting with Menus: The script shows how to access the copy feature in the Calculator's menu.
  4. Using Notepad: It illustrates how to insert text into a text box within Notepad using copied clipboard content.

The code makes use of the updated uiawrappers.au3 for UI Automation functionalities.

Important Considerations:

  • The examples are designed around exact text matches, which means that UI elements must have the exact names as they appear in your system's language. Future enhancements may include functions utilizing regular expressions for more flexible matching.
  • Use of sleep functions is sometimes necessary to allow system processes to complete, such as menu displays or actions being executed.
  • Application focus is sometimes required, depending on the buttons you interact with. Even if a window is in view, the underlying application may need to be activated.

Key Changes Made to the Script:

  1. Updated Button Labels: Adjusted button names to be more user-friendly and added comments for necessary language changes.
  2. Enhanced Comments: Improved the overall documentation and comments for better understanding.
  3. Refined Code Structure: Ensured best coding practices while maintaining the functional intent of the original script.

This guide serves as a foundational template for automating interactions with basic applications in Windows using AutoIt, specifically focusing on Calculator and Notepad functionalities.
