Hello, I'm having trouble getting text from a window. It keeps returning 1 which is a windows title error. Even though I've tried wingettitle and it returns 1! Please help.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#notrayicon
$checkRun = "Emc Script"
If WinExists($checkRun) Then Exit

GUICreate("Emc Script", 350, 260)
GUISetBkColor (0xA9A9A9)

Global $defaultstatus = "Ready"
Global $status

$filemenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("&File")
$filehotkeyitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Hot Keys",$filemenu)
$fileexititem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Exit",$filemenu)
$helpmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("&Help")
$helpreadmeitem = GUICtrlCreatemenuitem ("Readme",$helpmenu)
$separator1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("",$filemenu,2); create a separator line
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_FOCUS)
$statuslabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel ($defaultstatus,0,220,350,16,BitOr($SS_SIMPLE,$SS_SUNKEN))

$button1 = GUICtrlCreateIcon ("C:\program files\routericon.bmp", 0, 140,80)

GUISetState ()

   $msg = GUIGetMsg()

help file states:

Return Value

Returns a string containing the window text read. Returns numeric 1 if no title match.

When I ran my code my continueloop kept reocurring. So I put in

$text = WinGetText("")

sleep(500)

msgbox(1,"",$text)

to test and $text contains the numerical value 1. That tells me that wingettext is failing. I assumed the window text was to big and I checked. It's only 587 bytes. Not sure where to go from here.

shouldn't this be?

$text = WinGetTitle("")
sleep(500)
msgbox(0,"",$text)

otherwise you need to supply at least the title for the param of WinGetText

Since when gafrost? According to the helpfile, "Use WinGetText("") to get the active window's text."

True, but if it's returning 1 then I would suggest putting in the title to make sure of getting text from the correct window.

I'm using version 3.1.1

gafrost and greenmachine: the msgbox function is only there for debugging purposes, in my real code I won't use it. My real problem is that in $mystr1=stringinstr($text,">",0,1), $text contains nothing and thus my following code never gets executed.

Even when using $mytext=wingettitle("") or $mytext=wingettitle("telnet","") after I've winactivated, then executed $mystr1=stringinstr($mytext,">",0,1), my script still fails.

A little unrelated to the problem at hand, but I have a question - where does $vServer come from? I see this line -- $aMy[3]= $vServer -- but you never declare $vServer as anything.

Oh right, I had another thing I wanted to say. Now that I realized you're using telnet, and that requires using the command prompt, I went and tried to get text from the cmd.exe. For one thing, no matter what I did I couldn't get it to return 1 or 0 or any number. It just returned "", an empty string. Since that was the case, I think that WinGetText does not work with the command prompt.

sorry about the $vServer statement, I was trying not to include all my code per easier reading. However, at the beginning of my router() is should read:

$vServerClip=clipget()
$vServerString=stringsplit($vServerClip,@TAB)
If $vServerString[0] >= 22 Then 
 $statuslabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel ("accessing router",0,220,350,16,BitOr($SS_SIMPLE,$SS_SUNKEN))
 $vServer=$vServerString[22]
.....

gafrost: I did that with $mytext=wingettitle("") and/or $mytext=wingettitle("telnet","") with no success.

greenmachine, I agree with you that it just doesn't work. Even though I could get a return of 1. Thanks for all your help anyway! You guys are great.

Ha!! Posted this in the wrong thread, anyway, If I am understanding you correctly, try this:

$MyText = WinGetText(FindActiveWindow())
MsgBox(0, 'Test', $MyText)
Func FindActiveWindow()
    Local $w_WinList = WinList()
    For $i = 1 to $w_WinList[0][0]
      If $w_WinList[$i][0] <> "" AND BitAnd(WinGetState($w_WinList[$i][1]), 2) _ 
          And BitAnd(WinGetState($w_WinList[$i][1]), 8) Then Return $w_WinList[$i][0]
    Next
EndFunc
I'm assuming by you trying to use WinGetText("") that your trying to get the text from the active window.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

smoke_n: Thanks for the input, however it failed as well. the msgobx displays nothing. And, yes, I am trying to get the text from the active window ( specifically in a telnet session run from the dos command interpreter). Thanks though.

maybe try this... dunno

; get Active Window  (Title)(Text)
; Author - SmOke_N & Valuater

$MyText = WinGetText(FindActiveWindow())
$MyTitle = WinGetTitle(FindActiveWindow())
MsgBox(0, $MyTitle, $MyText)
Func FindActiveWindow()
    Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)  ;0=don't detect, 1=do detect
    Local $w_WinList = WinList()
    For $i = 1 to $w_WinList[0][0]
      If $w_WinList[$i][0] <> "" AND BitAnd(WinGetState($w_WinList[$i][1]), 2) _
          And BitAnd(WinGetState($w_WinList[$i][1]), 8) Then Return $w_WinList[$i][0]
      Next
    Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 0)  ;0=don't detect, 1=do detect
EndFunc

8)

thanks SmOke_N & Valuater! The problem is the cmd window. This code works perfect for notepad, winword, wordpad...but fails with cmd window, not sure why. $mytext returns nothing! Thanks for the help though! I appreciate it.
