testing an error of gui thick client

[v1rtu0s1ty]

Hi guys,

I was able to use autoit to login to a stand alone app. However, I'm putting this kind of scenario. I would like to get notified in case this issue happens:

1. autoit executes the thick app and populates the username/password and hits Ok button

2. Thick app responds with a msgbox containing an error such as MSSQL server unavailable or ODBC error and so on.

How will I be able to capture the message in that message box?

If there were no errors, there will be no msgboxes and autoit will happily send ALT F + X

Please let me know guys!

Thanks,

Neil

Try using AdlibEnable and in the function put something like

if winexists("title","text") then

Winactivate("title","text")

Send("{Enter}")

endif

Hi gafrost,

I don't think you understood my question. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I actually don't want to activate a window.

What I want is to capture the error text/string/message contained in the msgbox that popped up. Then either have that string written to a file somewhere on the harddrive.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Neil

more than likely yes, if you know what the window title is and the control that has the text

for example:

if WinExists("title")

$text = controlgettext("title","","Static1")

; do what you want with text

endif

in your example then, the name of the control is Static1?

Now, I need to hope that I will be able to get the name of the control on the window I want to work with.

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,
