Read window controls

[BramGadeyne 0]

Hi all,

I'm using AutoIT to read out the titlebar of a program (according to a REGEXP) and than printing it's value out to a file.

Is it also possible to read the values of the controls (textboxes, checkboxes, comboboxes) on that form? Is there a difference between for instance Windows forms, Java Swing forms, etc. ?

kind regards,

Bram

Use the "AutoIt Window Info Tool" available with the AutoIt package. You simply hover your mouse over any windows and/or controls you are trying to automate and it will give you the info your need about that control, if available. If you don't mind providing the name of the program your are automating you might get more help in case anyone else works with that very same program.
