umek Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I want to fill in an input field of an app from an input field of another app with ControlGetText("CLF", "", "TSpecialEdit4"). It works ... but I have a little problem when the input field of my 2nd app is already filled. In this case I have to delete the entry first. I check the value of the input field with the same command but it's not possible for me to delete the detected entry. any hint, pls help ....... if there's a way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umek Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 One app is similar like an addressdatabase ... and the other app was wrote by myself but with an authorsoftware ... it's a generator. I'm working with the classes of these apps ... and how just mentioned it works so far ... The problem is to delete the input field if there's already an entry ... rgds umek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 (edited) It is kind of hard to determine what you are saying although it is 3am. Maybe difining the apps with app A and app B might be clearer, and defining which one you wrote and which one you did not. I don't understand why the app recieving the info does not store what imput A is sending it and then refreshing its imput after an {ENTER} or similar key is sent. It might be the one you created, should think about changing the app to clear itself in that case? You might try to use an intermidiary like the clipboard or a text file to store the info and then flush them so the app recieving the info gets flushed with no or null characters but this might casue problems. That or I am in need of or a good strong cup of ~~~(_)D to help me understand what you are saying. Edited August 3, 2004 by Coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umek Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 Sorry for my bad English !!!! I have an input field in "APP A" with the class-> "TSpecialEdit4" and another "APP B" with the class-> "Edit5". I want to store this value from "APP A" class-> "TSpecialEdit4" to "APP B" class-> "Edit5". It works. But if the input field "Edit5" of "APP B" has already a value I have to delete it first. I could use Ctrl+A and then BACKSPACE but "APP B" does not support Ctrl+A, hence I have to detect the entry or value and must delete it befor filling the new info's. In other words ... how to detect and delete the value of an input field? If it's possible to find the text with ControlGetText("APP B", "", "Edit5"), than it should be no problem to delete it, but for me ... rgds umek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umek Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 "ControlSetText" is overwriting the old entry! Problem solved! In some cases "ControlSetText" replaces the old entry or it gets added ... In my case the value gets replaced ... thx for your support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case the value gets replaced ... thx for your support <{POST_SNAPBACK}>even if it didn't replace it, you could first controlsettext to "" then put in the data from the other app. "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umek Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 even if it didn't replace it, you could first controlsettext to "" then put in the data from the other app. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>No thx for this tip but while testing it I noticed that it's another solution ... But why should I take the easy way out, if it goes complicated ... *umpf* ;-) many thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
