Reading contents of Afx:40000... window

[dec]

Hi everyone; I'm back with my noob questions.

I've got an application written with MFC;

It has a child named "LOGS" - actually it is something looking like a listview with two columns: timestamp amd event.

I need to get exactly what is shown on screen.

I've tried ALL controls and classes available in the window - all of them return empty string on WinGetText // ControlGetText.

While searching through this forum I've found an idea to use not a Control name, but its handle - but still can't have contents of this window.

$hCtrl = ControlGetHandle("sm56","","Afx:00400000:8:00010011:00000000:01CC05CA");
$str = ControlCommand("sm56ant","",$hCtrl,"Getcurrentline");;

Maybe I do something wrong?..

Also I tried something like Ctrl+A; Ctrl+C; Run notepad; Ctrl+V : Ctrl + A selects the table but its contents are not copied to clipboard:(

Standart functions like ClipGet()/ClipPut() cannot be used - I don't know how to get WHAT to put into clipboard.

The most similar to my problem was in this topic: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15936

Hope it's not true that AutoIt cannot make it.

Is there an actual application we can test on? Without actually trying ourselves, it would just be guesses that would more than likely draw the thread out much further than need be, or weeks/months/years before you get an actual answer that works for you.

Well... Actual application has damn POPI classification "Internal use only"

So I can't provide it.

loop for screen region change (while -wend- pixelgetcolor()

take a screenshot and ocr the region you need and fill your array to a file

Hooray!!! I've managed to do that!=)

If someone is interested:

#include <GuiListView.au3>
$hCtrl = ControlGetHandle("MyApplication","","SysListView321");
    $items = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($hCtrl);
    $item = _GUICtrlListView_GetItem($hCtrl, 1, 1);
