ControlGetText()


Recommended Posts

Hello there,

I am using command CotrolGetText() to get the text in a window that exists in my pc.

Let me show you first the code:

if WinExists("test") Then
Local $sText = ControlGetText("[CLASS:QWidget]", "", "QWidget75")
MsgBox(0, "ControlGetText Example", "The control text is: " & $sText)
EndIf

Autoit info tools summary:

The autoit info tool is clicked on the text field.

It is a text field that displays the messages i recive but it is not editable.

Is there a way to get the messages that are displayed in it and show them with a msgbox??

I want to do this so i can give some commands to avoid some spam messages i receive and close the window.

I feel nothing.It feels great.

Have you tried using the title of the window in controlgettext instead of its class name? Have you tried having the app write that text to a text file itself? It looks like something you threw together yourself judging by the title of it.

Seeing as how we have no idea what app you're trying to read from, it will be extremely difficult to help troublshoot the problem other than suggesting the obvious ways of doing it. One way would be to have your script find the PID of the program and use that in place of the title, or even its windows handle.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Yes i have tried everything. I just added test there because there was no reason adding the the real name because its a personal thing that is hard for someone to know it.

I just wanted to know how it should be placed because as it normaly should be placed, it doesnt work.

I am trying similar script to another programm and it works. Here it doesnt. I posted the autoit info tool so if somone could understand and tell me.

Although i have tried most of the combinations...

I feel nothing.It feels great.
