check if active Excel cell is blank

[gspot]

Hi,

I have a code to check if active Excel cell is blank, but doesnt work, i think its because when doing a Ctrl+c in an blank cell (looks blank) it copy's some garbage there...

Can you help me, some ideas?

Func CopiaExcell()
    ClipPut("")
    $sData = ""
    If Not WinExists("Microsoft Excel", "GSO") Then
        MsgBox(0, "GSO", "Abra o ficheiro Excel GSO")
    EndIf

    WinWait("Microsoft Excel", "GSO")
    If Not WinActive("Microsoft Excel", "") Then
        WinActivate("Microsoft Excel", "GSO")
        Local $oExcel = WinWaitActive("Microsoft Excel", "")

        Send("{CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}")
        Sleep(500)
        Local $sData = ClipGet()
        MsgBox(0, "", $sData)
        If $sData <> "" Then
            MsgBox(0, "", "Non blank")
        Else
            MsgBox(0, "", "blank")
        EndIf
    EndIf


EndFunc   ;==>CopiaExcell

I suggest to use the Excel UDF that comes with AutoIt. So you can create code that is fully independant of what the user does.

Ok thanks i got it with _ExcelReadCell. But my doubt now is how to do a kind of _ExcelReadCell for the active cell, without using range. Can this be done?

This should return the active cell:

$oExcel.ActiveCell
