rimmi2002 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hi in my code, I try to select a desired text and then copy it by Sending ^c. (Code below). I want to be able to save this text and search it for substrings. However when I use Clipget() the variable is alway empty. Later in my program I paste the stuff I copied, into a different note, that works fine. Can I please get help with what I am doing wrong? .... If pcheck(266, 200, 268, 788, 0x0070C1) Then pcheck(298, $gy, 500, 66, 0x000000) MouseMove(1400, $gy + 1) shiftclick() Sleep(1000) Send("^c") $APData = clipget() Else MouseMove(500, 716) shiftclick() Sleep(1000) Send("^c") $APData = clipget() EndIf .... I would like $APData to be the text that I just copied with ^C command prior. However $APdata ends up empty. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Danp2 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 What application are you trying to interact? There's likely a better way to capture the text than using MouseMove, Send, etc. Latest Webdriver UDF Release Webdriver Wiki FAQs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 22, 2017 @rimmi2002 this works fine for me WinActivate("Untitled", "") Sleep(500) Send("^a") Send("^c") Sleep(500) Send("{ENTER 4}") Sleep(500) Send(ClipGet()) However it is a little difficult to offer more in the way of suggestions when you show non-runnable code with a MouseClicks, etc. What app are you trying to automate, and why can you not use Control* commands instead of MouseClicks and Sends, which are woefully unstable?

rimmi2002 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thanks. I figured it out. I guess when doing this: Send("^c") $APData = clipget() The Clipget() is executed before the text is copied to clipboard, by previous command. Putting a 500ms Sleep in there makes it work just fine. Once I changed the code to below: this worked well. Send("^c") Sleep(500) $APData = clipget() Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autoit info tool is not able to read any control applets on this app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2017 No, for Epic you would need to use IUIAutomation; there is a thread in our Examples forum. I have done some work with it in the past, but no longer have access to it to provide concrete examples. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

anthonyjr2 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 @JLogan3o13 Can you elaborate a little on using IUIAutomation with Epic? I am trying to do it right now but I'm finding it a little confusing. Especially because simplespy.au3 seems to just grab the entire Epic window instead of individual elements.

rimmi2002 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 I don't know what IUI Automation is. Any chance you can guide me to a tutorial please. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
