ControlGetText

[AlexR]

Hello!

I would like to get the text of a textbox.

I used the function ControlGetText, but this function didnt return always a string.

e.g. my Textbox is empty I get null string with the follow command:

ControlGetText(myForm, , ID_of_TextBox)

What is the second parameter for?

If my textbox contains something I can use some first letters at the second parameter to get the complete text.

Have someone an explanation for me? Im little confuse

Best regards,

Alex

Edit: Have this function known issues with Controls like Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraTextEditor?

(Just a TextBox from Infragistics)

It's the visible text of the window that autoit will search for but you can leave it empty if there's only 1 window with the same name in your taskbar.

If another window with the same title exists, and the text is blank, it will match the last one that was active.

thanks,

but my problem is that the function doesn't return any string. The parameters should be okay, because the function controlgethandle works fine with the same parameters and return the right handle

Can you post a screenshot of the window you want to get text WITH autoit window info (and "control" tab selected) please.

Had this problem few days ago http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...c=65618&hl=

Don't know if it helps you.

[AlexR]

no it doesn't help.

I think autoIT doesn't work with infragistic controls ...

AutoIt (as well as most other simulation programs) will have issues with .Net forms because the controls get rendered differently some times due to the runtime processes. Look for something called like, AnyWindow or something like that on this forum. I remember seeing it but I can't remember the name.
