Reading Outlook text

[fhanna]

When using the WinGetText function on an opened Outlook email it only retrieves the Header text. How do you retrieve the message text in Autoit?

Thank you

You can use my solution, see in my signature :

Read data from any Windows Edit Control.

This example shows how to read data from a Notepad control. But Also works for Outlook Emails.

Enjoy !!

Thanks for your response. I ran your sample and it worked fine. Could not get it to work with my opened Outlook email (running Outlook client on XP Professional with Windows 2003 Exchange server)

Utilized the AutoIt Window Info utility and the Class name was rctrl_renwnd32 so replaced the Notepad with this. Received Window Active and Line = 0 and nothing else. Any suggestions?

You need to change this in the example :

Const $Applhandle = WinGetHandle("classname=rctrl_renwnd32")
Const $Ctrlhandle = ControlGetHandle("","",2748)

This work at least if the mail Format is RichText. I don't know about if it is an HTML formatted mail .
