How to automate repetitive actions in windows?

Question

Automation

There is a program (without source code) that works under windows, you need to automate actions in it.
Surely there is something similar to sikuli, but of a different kind. So that I don’t find buttons from screenshots, but somehow see all the controls in the running application, so that I can say "click on the date field, select today, search button, print, save along the path such and such, etc."
Just like in the video on the main www.getautoma.com , the program understands that the notepad has a "file" menu, etc. . it is better of course that the interface is not limited to the command line.

Answer 4

It seems that this can be implemented on AutoHotKey, but I'm not sure.

Answer 5

Getautoma looks like a wrapper around pywinauto in python.
You can also look at AutoIt, the ControlClick, ControlSend functions, etc. , but did not check it.

Answer 6

heavy artillery
www.networkautomation.com/automate/automate
and there are plenty of them with varying degrees of control over the window

Answer 7

It all depends on how the gui of the application used is arranged.
I’m sitting on a desktop project where the internal gui is encrypted in qt and how much I didn’t try to break through UIspy didn’t see the button, so in my case there was no other way out of the sikul
but my searches came across several remarkable tools
-ranorex in my opinion, the most beautiful and convenient, minus the rather weak ui spy
-wintask strong ui spy but the GUI of this tool is not very good
-TestComplete is something in between the two above, minus writing tests is difficult (as for me)
