ControlSetText doesn't Work but ControlGetText works well

[DjErase]

Hi Everyone,

I need help. I made an autoit script long time ago on Windows XP and all was working well. It sends and retrieves values to Edit control without problems.

Now I upgraded to Windows 7 and the ControlSetText, doesn't work (only this function) and only with Tradestation. If I use notepad.exe and try to send text, all is working fine. I use the same version of Tradestation on both XP and W7. I try to upgrade Tradestation on the Win7 computer but ControlSetText doesn't work (the function return a 0, I also try ControlFocus before but it's the same).

How can I debug this ?

Thanks and sorry for my English.

Examine the control with AU3Info.exe and post the contents of the "Summary" tab so we can look and the Class and attribute info.

Very thanks but I cannot access the computer at this time, I'll send it tomorrow.

Regards.

That edit control appears to have the readonly bits set.

Can you manually enter a value in the control?

Hello,

Yes, I can manually write in this edit box. And this "phenomena" appears only in Win7.

Where can you see that the control is in read only mode ?

I found a peace of code to force the read only bit:

#Include <GuiEdit.au3>
opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
Run("Notepad") 
$hWnd = ControlGetHandle("Notepad","","Edit1")
msgbox(0,"","Setting Notepads Edit control to read only")
_GUICtrlEdit_SetReadOnly($hWnd, True)
Sleep(5000)
msgbox(0,"","Setting back to normal")
_GUICtrlEdit_SetReadOnly($hWnd, False)

Regards.

I found the answer : It was the User Account Control settings that wasn't deactivated.

What do you mean by User Account Control settings ?

I am having the same problem, can you post your code ?

Thanks
