Problem with a non standard control (WinChart)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm trying to automate an application that is using a non standard control.

WinSpy tells me its class is WinChart, probably third party.

In this control, many things are drawn but some things are written too.

The application is using system fonts to display some text in this control.

I need this text. Do you have any idea on how to get it ?

Any help welcome.

Thank you very much.

Regards

Welcome the the forum... Not only do we not have much of an idea on how to get it, we have no idea what in the world your saying :whistle:

Look at WinGetText() and ControlGetText() in the help file... if that doesn't help, upload a screenshot of the App along with the entire contents of the Au3Info.exe tool.

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.

Hi,

Thank you for your welcome.

Sorry if that wasn't clear. Let me try again :

An application is using a control (Class name : WinChart) to display some text.

But WinGetText returns all the text in the window except the one in this control.

And ControlGetText on this control returns nothing.

What can I do to get the text ?

PS: Sorry but I don't have the permission to send screenshot and stuff.

It is a proprietary application and I don't have the source code either.

Thank you for your help.

Well what do you mean highlight ?

You mean in the application if I want to copy/paste it with the mouse ?

If this is the question then NO I can't.

Rather than jumping through hoops and this lagging on for days with guesses, at least show us a copy of AutoInfo.exe tool's information. That isn't a screen shot, but may tell us alot of what you may need to do.
