RenWeb has online uses but it also has downloadable software which is what I am using. Here is the link to download -----> http://www.renweb.com/Support/Software-Downloads.aspx My guess is however that you won't be able to pull up the window I am seeing because you need to purchase Product key to access.

I am trying to do this in RenWeb. I tried the Hwnd () and it returned me a strange character I am unfamiliar with.

I tried this, but I still get nothing in return. My thought is that because there is a button with the same Control ID in the window "ControlGetHandle' is getting the handle for the button and not the Combo Box. I also tried using the Finder Tool in the Auto It Window Info to get the handle for the Combo Box, then plugging that in to the '_GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetItemText' where you had the hwnd and that returned me nothing as well.

I am attempting to build an Auto It window that will interact with another program window based on user input. However, first I need to display text and information from the outside program on my Auto It window. I am attempting to get text from a Combo Box that is on the outside window and display it on my window. I can not seem to find a function that will successfully retrieve the strings from the Combo Box. I tried two different functions. First I tried '_GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetItemText ()' as show below, but that returned me nothing. '_GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetEditText ()' came back blank as well. Then I tried 'ControlGetText ()'. The problem with that function was that the ID for the Combo Box was identical to another ID for a button in the same window and it was getting the text on the button. Since 'ControlGetText ()' only uses, "title", "text", and ID, I don't see a way to pick out the ComboBox instead of the button. Below, 'WinActivate ("Window")' is the window that has a Combo Box I am trying to get the String from. 1000 is the ID of the Combo Box in "Window". #include <GuiComboBoxEx.au3> #include <GuiImageList.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> HotKeySet ("{Esc}", "Quit") Local $mywindow = GUICreate ("Title", 400, 300, -1, -1) Local $sText Local $button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Get Text", 100, 100) GUISetState (@SW_SHOW, $mywindow) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $button WinActivate ("Window") ;program window that has Combo Box _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetItemText (1000, 0, $sText) ;1000 is the Control ID of the Combo Box MsgBox (0, "Control Text", $sText) Case -3 Exit EndSwitch WEnd
