1. Now my problem is how to automate to select particular file and click open button .

Please use the following C++ sample code:
(I tried this with the sample VS2005Application.exe)

Code: Select all

int ret = RxMenuSelectItemText(form, "Submenu3", "FileOpen", NULL);	
RxSleep(1000);
HWND fileOpenDialog = RxFormFindTitle("Open", MATCH_EXACT, TRUE, 1500);	

// Get the Element of the TextBox
ElementStruct element;
if ( RxControlGetElement(fileOpenDialog, &element) == TRUE)
{
	ElementStruct textbox;
	BOOL bRet = RxElementFindChild(&element, ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT, "File name:", NULL, &textbox);
	if (bRet==TRUE)
	{
		//RxElementSelect(&listItem, SELFLAG_TAKEFOCUS | SELFLAG_TAKESELECTION);
		RxElementSetValue(&textbox, "myFile");

		ElementStruct openButton;
		bRet = RxElementFindChild(&element, ROLE_SYSTEM_PUSHBUTTON, "Open", "Button", &openButton);
		if (bRet==TRUE)
		{
			::RxMouseClickElement(&openButton);
		}
	}
}

2. My problem is to automate this console window and write whatever i write in program.

Use the function RxControlSendKeys to write data into a console window.
