Since I have no way of testing it, try adding AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1) To the top of the script. Also use The Window information tool in the AutoIt folder to verify that the text is actually there. George Question about decompiling code?

Gaurang Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Please guys... please help me in this... It seems like there is no way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) It appears to be a non-standard window so I doubt there is a way to get that text. EDIT Just as an added idea, when the window in question is open, run a script that uses WinList(). #include<array.au3> $aWins = WinList() _ArrayDisplay($aWins) See what windows are actually there.

toasterking Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The window does not seem to follow standard Windows user interface conventions, so AutoIt cannot get that information. PixelGetColor() will probably still work. If you just want to compare the appearance of the dialog (including the text) to something you've predefined, you can do it this way, though it will be slow. You could do a WinGetPos($title) to get the dimensions of the window (left, top, width, height). Then create a loop which will do a PixelGetColor on every pixel within those dimensions and compare them to pixel colors read from a reference file. Be aware, though, that changes made to the appearance of the window, whether in the program or in Windows display settings, could cause the matching to fail. You will have to do some tweaking.
