mvp 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Hi, This is my first post. Is there a way to read static labels off a form with AutoIt? I am able to get text from the form via WinGetText. There are a few labels that I need to read. Any help is much appreciative. Regards, mvp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, you could use ControlGetText(). Hide SmOke_N's signature Hide all signatures 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, you could use ControlGetText().Yes, I tried AutoInfo and that when I saw that the labels were not being reconized by AutoInfo. Can the actual VB ID be used in the ControlGetText function if known? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThanksI know nothing of VB, but I do know one way to find out . MsgBox(64, 'Info', 'Text is: ' & ControlGetText('WindowName', '', 'ControlID'))Although if AutoInfo isn't picking it up (text wise) then I doubt seriously that this is going to pick it up... But I have used "Static" as a controlid in the past. Hide SmOke_N's signature Hide all signatures Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...
