James Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Hello all, How do I retrieve the text from the start button text? ControlGetText doesn't work, so I have no idea. Thanks, James Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ
James Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 Oh, I have also tried to use CLASSNN etc, but it doesn't return anything. Please help. When I google for stuff it just comes up with renaming it, which I can do anyway. Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ
James Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 If anybody reads this, tell me what happens: MsgBox(0, "Start Button Text", ControlGetText("", "", "[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd; CLASSNN:Button1; ID:304;]")) Nothing happens for me Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ

James Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 Thanks Bowmore! Why didn't I manage to do it? Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ
PsaltyDS Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Thanks Bowmore! Why didn't I manage to do it? I'm not sure you really mean you didn't understand the difference, but if so: Your example had the CLASS specification for the window "[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]" run together with the CLASSNN spec for the control "[CLASSNN:Button1]". Bowmore properly separated the parameters for the ControlGetText() function. Sorry for the redundant explanation if you already had that. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

James Posted November 18, 2007 Author Posted November 18, 2007 No I understand now. I didn't realise that the title was the Shell_TrayWnd. Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ
