WinGetText & ControlGetText do not return >>>> visible text <<<<

[MarcElser]

Hi,

I have the following output from window info tool:

expandcollapse popup

>>>> Window <<<<

>>>> Hidden Text <<<<

At first I tried setting options:

Opt("WinSearchChildren", 1)
Opt("WinTextMatchMode", 1)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)

Then I tried to get the visible text like the window info tool does but was unsuccessful.

all the following did not help.

1.) WinGetText("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.RichEdit20W.app.0.218f99c]")
2.) $handle = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.RichEdit20W.app.0.218f99c]")
WinGetText($handle)
3.) $handle = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.RichEdit20W.app.0.218f99c]")
ControlGetText($handle,"","[CLASS:WindowsForms10.RichEdit20W.app.0.218f99c]")
4.) $handle = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.RichEdit20W.app.0.218f99c]")
ControlGetText($handle,"","[ID:987040]")
5.) $handle = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.RichEdit20W.app.0.218f99c]")
ControlGetText($handle,"","987040")

Everything was unsuccessful. Can anyone please help?

It looks like to match with the formats that you have put in your example, you must change WinTitleMatchMode to advanced. Look in the Auto-IT help file for the details.

Also, look at ControlGetText() if you want text from a specific control, which I would guess you are.

It would appear you are trying to get a handle to a control using WinGetHandle.

$winHandle = WinGetHandle("class=WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.218f99c", "")
$controlHandle = ControlGetHandle($winHandle, "WindowsForms10.RichEdit20W.app.0.218f99c1", "")
; or u can use the control id
; from there you can use ControlGetText()
