Reading text and checking if a message exists

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi again, 

I'm trying to read this control and check if this warning message exists

 

WinActivate("Post-it Screen -  MAIN")
$hWnd2 = WinWait("[CLASS:ProFrame]", "", 10)

Sleep(6000)
Local $WarningText = ControlGetText($hWnd2, "", "Edit1")
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $WarningText)
FileWrite($hFilehandle, @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Create a new matter using " & $WarningText)

I've attached a few screenshots of the Auto IT window and the visible text window.

I essentially want to check in this control box if the phrase 

*** WARNING****

You do NOT have an up to date CRU certificate. 

 

exists. However using the above ControlGetText command it produces a blank msgbox. 

 

I also wrote it out to a notepad file and only "Create a new matter using " is in it. (ie. it's not writing out the $WarningText variable to either the msgbox or txt file) 

 

Any ideas?

@CaptainBeardsEyesBeard
Do some error checking...
Check if the handle of window you are looking for is returned, and the same for the control...

Hmm just tried this and didn't get a msgbox come up 

 

Local $WarningText = ControlGetText($hWnd2, "", "Edit1")
if @error then
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Couldnt get text", 4)
    EndIf

Global $iWinClass = "[CLASS:ProFrame]"
Global $WarningText
Local $hWnd2 = WinExists($iWinClass, "")
If Not $hWnd2 Then
    ConsoleWrite("- Waiting Windows ")
    ToolTip("> Waiting Windows :" & $iWinClass)
    Local $Check = 10
    While $Check
        ToolTip($Check & "> Waiting Windows: " & $iWinClass)
        ConsoleWrite(".")
        Sleep(1000)
        $hWnd2 = WinExists($iWinClass, "")
        If $hWnd2 Then ExitLoop
        $Check -= 1
    WEnd
EndIf
If $hWnd2 Then
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "+ Found Windows !" & @CRLF)
    WinActivate($hWnd2)
    WinActive($hWnd2)

    $WarningText = ControlGetText($hWnd2, "", "Edit1")
    If $WarningText <> "" Then
        MsgBox(64 + 262144, "", $WarningText)
    Else
        MsgBox(48 + 262144, "Error", "Not Found Text ON: " & $iWinClass)
    EndIf
Else
    MsgBox(16 + 262144, "Error", "Windows Not Found: " & $iWinClass)
EndIf

Your first screenshot with the AutoIt spy Control tab doesn't show any value in the Text field.  For an Edit field, that should show the text that would be captured.

It's possible that the actual text value you want is in a different control, possibly behind or embedded within the Edit.

I have had to use a script to hide a top level control, then use the AutoIt spy again to get the actual control behind that contains the value.

Or try with WinGetText ("[CLASS:ProFrame]")
