Reading a static label

[mvp 0]

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

Generally they will have ControlID's still, have you tried using the AutoInfo to see if it is reading text there. 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

I 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.

I agree, it don't seem likely if AutoInfo can't see it. I will try the ControlGetText. Thanks
