Get Hidden Text

[Cusem]

I'm trying to automate a defragmentation job (defragmenting just the PostgresSQL folder) using Defraggler.

When I get to the "Browse For File" window (where you select which folder you want to defrag) I automated this very simple with

Send("{DOWN 2}") (Go to the C-Drive)

Send("{RIGHT}") (Enter C-Drive)

Send("p") (Go to the first folder beginning with "p")

Send("{DOWN 12}") (PostgresSQL folder is the 12th folder beginning with a "p")

This is very amateuristic, but I don't know how to do it more efficient.

Thing is, If I would install a new program in a folder that starts with "PA", the Send("{DOWN 12}") has to be Send("{DOWN 13}")

To check this, I want to use ControlGetText to check if the selected folder actually is PostgresSQL.

If I Use AutoITWindowInfo it says for the "Browse For Folder" window:

Window

Title: Browse For Folder

Class: #32770

Control

Class: SysTreeView32

Instance: 1

ClassnameNN: SystreeView321

ID: 100

Text: Select a directory to defrag

Visible Text

Select a directory to defrag

Select a directory to defrag

&Make New Folder

OK

Cancel

Hidden Text

Folder:

PostgreSQL

to view any subfolders, click a plus sign above.

I want to reproduce the text captured by the "Hidden Text" option in AutoIt v3 Window Info

I tried:

OPT("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)

$controltext = ControlGetText("Browse For Folder", "", 100)

$wintext = WinGetText("Broswe For Folder", "")

MsgBox(0, "test", $controltext&@LF&$wintext)

Which returns:

Select a directory to defrag

0

Could anybody tell me how I can get the Hidden Text (Folder: PostgreSQL)?

(or maybe a more efficient way to tackle this problem?)

$Drive = InputBox("Drive?",'What drive woudl you like to defrag?' &@CRLF& 'Example: C:\')
RunWait('defrag.exe ' & $Drive)

Thanks for the reply, but I use Defraggler because it has the ability to defrag only one folder.

So I'm looking for an answer how to get the hidden text.

Windows defrag can defrag one folder as well. Atleast thats what I've read
