Read textbox content

[savoy]

Hi,

I'm new in AutoIt, first thanks it's a great tool!

I don't know if It's possible to analyse the content of a textbox or other composent like checkbox box of a Windows application.

I wrote a script and I want to test the content of a textbox.

I try to get the text content of a textbox with the ControlGetText ("", "", "m_pleCustomer")

function but it returns the name of the Control "m_pleCustomer" and not the content "Hello" for example.

It's possible to do that with autoit3 ?

Regards

Thanks

Hi,

which apllication, which field?

If we can try on our own, it would be easier to find a solution.

It's an application developped in C++ with QT(Trolltech ),

With AutoIt Window Info I can see the ClassNameNN and Text

I use the Text Control cause there is no ControlID available.

This means that I try to automate an existing application I don't want to create new GUIs.

As I am new in AutoIt i don't understand if I can do this kind of post analyse on existing windows controls.

I try to use GUICtrlRead but it doesn't work. It is only AutoIt GUI specifc or it's a general function?

Thanks for your anwers sorry for my poor english and maybe stupid questions.

HI,

suppose that GuiCtrlRead only works on Autoit GUIs, try

ControlGetText ( "title", "text", controlID )

and show the code of this command when it failed.

You can try the command really this way:

ControlGetText( "Tilte of window", "", "")

Hi,

Thanks for your help

When I try the ControlGetText( "Tilte of window", "", "") it returns the title of the windows that is ok

BUT when I try on a control inside the windows:

For example :

ControlGetText( "Tilte of window", "m_pleCustomer", "m_pleCustomer") it returns m_pleCustomer

ControlGetText( "Tilte of window", "", "m_pleCustomer") it returns m_pleCustomer

it's the name of the Control and not the content of the control, I want to know the Name of the Customer in this example, I don't know if i'st possible.

I think there is no error cause the return is not blank.

Hi

Is there a command like

$text = ControlGetText( "", "", "m_pleCustomer->text()") to get the content text of a windows application control?

Thanks
