undcover Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I have an old app written in Delphi, Autoit can target it's control but can't for some reason get actual text from it. What I tried: ControlGetText gets me the original text set by the programmer (generic programming text) ControlSendText replaces that text, but doesn't show that in the application, so I can't use it. (I can still send it with ControlClick then sending keys and that's useful but I still need to be able to read the text back) Enabling the control or disabling it, has no effect. even hiding the control doesn't show a secret control behind it I tried listing all the instances of the application with no luck. (with the edit button pressed or without) The only way I was able to get any data from that text box, was if i clicked on a button that enabled me to write to the textbox, (no cursor just backspace allowed) and then clicking on the textbox and hitting Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C. Is it possible via Autoit, vb.net or others to alter the way that box behaves, to allow normal text box editing instead of the backward way it's allowing me to edit now? thank you.
