I'm trying to StatusBarGetText() to read the contents of a standard msctls_statusbar32 status bar control in a Win32 app. Your AutoIt v3 Window Info tool correctly sees the status bar text under that tool's "StatusBar" tab as the values of Property 2 and Property 3 fields. With the Win32 app open and in focus, I've tried the following code which gets past the error code but the value of x$ is always a blank string: AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) $x = StatusbarGetText("Untitled")
