Reterive text from tool tip of a button

[shiv]

Hi Is this possible that we can take the focus to a control with the help of shortcut key,

Suppose i am using Oulook.

And for reply to any mail

i send ALT then H and the RP. [H and RP are shortcut keys]

can i take the focus to reply button with the help of short cut key as there is not any specific id for reply button. the autoit window info tool can not take the focus to particular button in outlook. it provides the class and ID details for the complete frame which has a lots of options and button.

Did you check the Outlook UDF in the examples section?

Additionally, outside of the API calls that Palestinian recommended (which should be used), you should check this thread out to manipulate such controls...it can identifiy all the buttons on that toolbar:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Mouse position is retrieved 302-103
At least we have an element [Reply All][NetUIRibbonButton]
Having the following values for all properties:
Title is: <Reply All> Class   := <NetUIRibbonButton> controltype:= <UIA_ButtonControlTypeId> ,<50000> , (0000C350) 
*** Parent Information ***
Title is: <Respond> Class   := <NetUIChunk> controltype:= <UIA_GroupControlTypeId> ,<50026> , (0000C36A) 
*** Detailed properties of the highlighted element ***

i may be missing the obvious here, but what's wrong with

Send("!h")
Send("rp")

?
