apptest Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hi, I am new to autoit. I am using autoit to control an application on the client. I have autoit hosted on a client system, which is controlled by Python running on a server. The application throws up a pop up message and I want to read from that form. Is it possible to read text from a pop message using Autoit? Thanks, newbee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yes. How it is done depends on what you know about the popup (window title, window text ...). Functions you might need are WinWait, WingetText etc. My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have a similar issue - one actually that appears in one of the tutorials on this site, although it's not discussed there. As you can see in the screenshot (), the actual text of the popup ("Do you...") is not shown in the Window Info Tool. Is there still a way to get to this text? I'd be hard-pressed to believe that the standard popups in standard windows applications use such exotic controls that their contents cannot be gotten to... But then again, I'm new to autoit too Thanks! Ruud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
