RichEdit Streaming text control issue

[Tiramisu]

Hello,

I am using AutoItX to retrieve text from a standard RichEdit streaming text control (similar to an IRC chat window). Everything works fine until the number of characters in the control reaches around 35k then AutoItX returns 0 chars even though text is still streaming. I have been unable to figure out how to get around this problem. Any ideas?

I found one solution using a ComboBox control to "reset" the window but AutoItX always returns error 1 no matter what ControlCommand I send to it so it must not be compatible for some reason. I tried using both text string and occurance number but all returned 1.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
