Great video. Our software at work no longer uses the old controls so I have to use ACC and it’s not always reliable so I’m excited to dive into this. Thanks for the video. Look forward to more!
You guys are so good at this stuff that THIS seems easy to you. You’re in a different league. I’ll sadly go back to my Microsoft Power Automate flows. 😂
Hi Nick, It definitely takes some practice and some programs are easier than others... Once you get the hang of Object Oriented Programming it makes it much easier... I've use Power Automate. While it is powerful, it just takes me way too long to work through the GUIs...
This seems amazing and such a gamechanger for autohotkey, if it can do things like change windows settings, control Edge, File Explorer etc. I wish to see more videos on the topic! PS just bought your intermediate Autohotkey course and it has been great :)
15:44 but that also works with MouseGetPos directly doesn't it? The return variable OutPutVarControl is actually auto-completed right there 😀 I suppose UIA_Interface work with systems that Autohotkey previously hat troubles with like Electron or Qt?
@@MylonasFilms What doesn't work wll with Adobe Premier? If it's the Inspect.exe tool, did you remember to change it to the UI Automation instead of MSAA (which is the defualt)
@@JoeGlines-Automator yeah. I did all that. Ive been automating a lot of Davinci for fun, i can access so much. But I do the exact same thing in Adobe Premiere Pro & no luck. It doesn’t select buttons at all. Only the big panels. Can’t seem to do much in there. Acc Is the same. Just shows the big panels. Can’t choose any video attributes or anything
I fully share your excitement! I wonder if this way of proceeding can effectively replace , in order to click on a button or an icon, regardless of the layout of a window ? If this is indeed the case, I will jump to the ceiling of joy.
I agree hehe sometimes little nuances get glossed over. However, I would have to agree that a noobie guide would be great! I too had a problem following along. I rewatched this video a couple of times now and still missing something.
Thank you for this exciting discovery. I have a question for you; Is it possible to copy the result obtained by the DumpALL command, in the NotePad instead of displaying it in a MsgBox? If it's possible, then what would be the command lines to add following DumpALL? There are sometimes so many lines, that it becomes impossible to see all the results in the MsgBox, and it's impossible to scroll the text down, or resize the window to allow seeing all the results from DumpALL. Also, it seems impossible to copy text from the MsgBox, even if you do and .
Hello, could you please point me in the direction of your video which explains how to create a script that clicks on a particular text on loop? You said in one of the videos that you'll be showing that in the next vid, but I'm unable to find it?
Hi Joe. The link to the forum post is not pointing to the starting page. I find it weird that you wrap these links - why not share the original links? I am also not confident to download a Microsoft Inspect tool from your site (not that I don't trust you) but would prefer a link to the original source.
@@edits_for_fun That would depend on you and whatyou're working on. I haven't switched but that is more due to preferences. Besides you don't have to use one or the other. You can easily have both installed and just pick/choose which one you use on each project
IMO you should change a bunch of things: Write a script to make these videos cause it's hard to follow what's being said. Every time you start explaining a concept, mention what can actually be achieved with it instead of throwing a bunch of CS terms at the viewer. The different chapters of the video shouldn't have an entire sentence as their title, such as "Click an element by name or type to open a window with text set to "lorem ipsum", but a short description of what is trying to be achieved instead, such as : "How To Click An Element". Also, I find the titles of most videos in this series not descriptive enough. Preferably make 1 video per topic so you can choose a more specific title, which will make it easier to search for specific topics.

I use ahk mainly for Daivinci Resolve. I was so pleased when I heard you mention it!!!!!

💯% agree! I'm so excited!!! (And thanks for buying the course! )
@@JoeGlines-Automator Well deserved, thank you for all the work you put in! I have bought all of your courses now.
@@obitwokenobi69 wow, thanks! I really like our latest release. I learned a lot putting it together with Isias
Thank you! Yeah, I think the Intermdiate Object course is amazing!

Great job guys. This looks like it makes the inaccessible accessible. Davinci Resolve and Adobe Creative Suite here I come! Nice demo Automator crew.
Thanks Ryan! Yeah, it's a whole new world! :) Our second video, released a little while ago, shows how to handle elements that don't have names. :)
@@JoeGlines-Automator I'm waiting for the Chrome video :) frankly this makes so many things accessible which didn't used to be. It's great
Doesn't work well with Adobe Premiere I find, It only shows Panels with nothing inside them . I wonder if there is a way.

I believe it will! :) But it is early days... We'll be hitting it hard here in the coming weeks though.
Nice! Please do a more beginner's guide to this one. I can't seem to get it working somehow :/

That's what I finally did and it works perfectly.

First off, this video was just released... Having said that, I don't really understand your question. "text on aloop" that doesn't make sense to me.
how to download that and from where. there are so many codes on that page. plz help

To start, links break. Also typing a crazy path isn't what most people want to do. Go find it yourself and have loads of fun
Can it be used on Internet Explorer?
I wouldn't know as I haven't used IE in years. I would guess it could but there are far better ways to automate IE
Hi Joe, what is the name of the editor he is using? seems interesting. great video!
He's using VS Code, we've done several videos on it and a webinar. You can learn more here the-Automator.com/VSCode

HOW To do uia automation for ahk v2
Simple. Use v2 to download v1 and get to work... (ha ha). Sorry, this is currently a v1 only library.
@@JoeGlines-Automator Then is it worth to switch to v2 ?
