GetWinTitle(), GetWinText() fail

Greetings,

1. I am attempting to read a window title of a child window with GetWinTitle("[active]"). Unfortunately it returns the title of the parent window although the child window is active at the time of the function call.

2. I also have problems reading some text from the child window using the window class name like GetWinText("[CLASS:XXYYZZ]", "")

Both functions return 0.

Is this a GUI that you wrote in AutoIt or is it a piece of 3rd party software?

Question about decompiling code? Read the decompiling FAQ and don't bother posting the question in the forums.

Be sure to read and follow the forum rules. -AKA the AutoIt Reading and Comprehension Skills test.***

It's a device properties window from Windows Device manager. When I use GetWinTitle("[active]") on the opened properties window the title I get is "Device manager" which belongs to the parent window.

I also fail to read text out of the child windows from any of the device properties windows in Device manager.
