ktvegas Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hi guys. I am still very new but am trying my best to learn autoit. I have a piece of software on my system which contains a text box with a set list of words that appear depending on which alarm has been triggered (or blank in the case of no alarm) When I move the mouse over this box using the auto-it window it has a ClassNameNN and Control ID and the text is listed when text is visible in the window. The ClassNameNN is: Static1 Is there a way for me to monitor this and basically say (pardon my syntax) If Static1 = "Entry" then $alarm="Entry" Sorry for the lack of elegance in my description - hope this enough for someone to get the gist and help me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 You should be able to use ControlGetText(), to read the edit control, and store it in a variable. The variable can be checked for your alarm code. The script could check this, on a periodical basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriptkitty Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Quick example: dim $static1,$alarm AdlibEnable("check") #include <GUIConstants.au3> GUICreate("My GUI", 320,120, @DesktopWidth/2-160, @DesktopHeight/2-45, -1, 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES $file = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "", 10, 5, 300, 20) GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_ACCEPTFILES) GUICtrlCreateInput ("", 10, 35, 300, 20) ; will not accept drag&drop files $btn = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20) GUISetState () $msg = 0 While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $btn exitloop EndSelect Wend MsgBox (4096, "drag drop file", GUICtrlRead($file)) func check() $static1=controlgettext("My GUI","","Edit1") If $Static1 = "Entry" then $alarm="Entry" tooltip("text is:" & $static1 & @crlf & "alarm test=" & $alarm,0,0) EndFunc Just don't expect this to work within the same script if you use inputbox, as input box stops execution until the box is closed. ex: AdlibEnable("timer") sleep(3000); it will count for 3 seconds InputBox("test","did the timer in the upper left corner stop?"); it will not count while this is up sleep(3000); I have it count again after clicked func timer() tooltip(@sec,0,0) EndFunc AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers.
