get image button with pywinauto

Question

I want to click on the green plus button with pywinauto but I can't get the element.

I able to get the window with top_windows = Desktop(backend="uia")['Text File Export']

But then I see only the ListBox without the buttons that located above

top_windows.print_control_identifiers()

Control Identifiers:

Dialog - 'Text File Export'    (L2198, T308, R2817, B1033)
['Dialog', 'Text File ExportDialog', 'Text File Export']
child_window(title="Text File Export", control_type="Window")
   | 
   | Pane - 'Files to export'    (L2206, T337, R2809, B503)
   | ['Pane', 'Files to export', 'Files to exportPane', 'Pane0', 'Pane1']
   | child_window(title="Files to export", auto_id="1578672", control_type="Pane")
   |    | 
   |    | ListBox - ''    (L2223, T380, R2792, B490)
   |    | ['ListBox', 'ListBox0', 'ListBox1']
   |    | child_window(auto_id="466446", control_type="List")
   |
   | Pane - 'File format'    (L2203, T509, R2806, B959)
   | ['Pane2', 'File formatPane', 'File format']
   | child_window(title="File format", auto_id="599282", control_type="Pane")

Any idea how to click on the plus button?

Thanks!

Have you tried running your_variable.print_control_identifiers() method after assigning the element with auto_id 1578672 to a variable named your_variable?

Edit: So you may need to click somewhere for the elements there to be available.

Your can try this.

app.Dialog.print_control_identifiers()

panel = app.Dialog.child_window(auto_id="1578672", control_type="Pane").wrapper_object()

panel.click_input()

app.Dialog.print_control_identifiers()
