Getting the value of textbox without knowing the ID

[HaithamSakr]

Hello,

I am using

send("{TAB}");

 

for navigating the controls and I want to get the text from the current textbox and store it in a variable without knowing textbox ID.

Is there is anyway for doing that?

You can use index logic as shown in examples of iuiautomation or instance:n syntax of special windows descriptions

Send('{^A}{^C}')
$sValue = ClipGet()

If I understand you correctly. you want to select the text in the box and get its value.

Try the above.

Once you tab into the textbox select all (Ctrl-A) and then copy it to the clip board (Ctrl-C)

Then set your variable to what is in the clipboard
