Is there a way to find some strings on a dialog box?

[blender]

Hi, all

I have to deal a dialog box which could have two different messages. Different action will be performed depending on which message is displayed on the dialog box. So is there a way to detect strings on a dialog box?

Thanks

either with the autoit window info tool (Ctrl-F6 in scite4autoit) you could try to get the text. If that returns no help, then search for OCR.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to let my script written in autoit to find the message. Is there a way to do that?

danwilli gave you the exact answer, it is all you need - it is "the way"

That depends on the type of dialog box. I get text from dialog boxes all of the time from different applications. WinGetText() will work in this case. If it is a Microsoft dialog box, you may be out of luck.
