1. You might have to change the OS language, because I dont believe there are options like that in notepad.

Also you might want to try using SCiTe. I dont know that it has multi-lingual support, but I know it writes in English (yet again this could be the OS language).

2. You can use AutoIt Window Spy to see if there is any 'visible text' to the OS. If there is you can use WindowGetText() function. (Look it up in the helpfile).

Otherwise you can take a screen shot by pressing 'Print Scrn' to do this with AutoIt you would send the command...

Send("{PRINTSCREEN}")

I hope this helps a bit,

WinGetText() ?

[tamir]

it doesn't get the text of it, maybe because it's not writing program.

anyway im using the printscreen, and i have another question:

is there a way to check if there is msgbox (like when u quit it asks u if u want to save ur project in msgbox) in mspaint?

Don't really understand what you are after here..

PrintScreen = Picture = bunch of pixels

So you are not looking for retrieving the text from the Window ?

@JdeB

I think he doesnt care which way he gets the information whether it be a screen shot or a GetText deal he just wants the info. The screenshot is working the WinGetText() doesnt. I mentioned that above to him.

@Tamir

I think you can use AdLibEnable() and AdLibDisable() for that, or you could just use an If statement to check if a window pops up, and if it does what decision to make depending on what the window title is.

Some functions you might want to look into...

If...End If
WinExists()
WinActive()

Just look at all the Window functions provided in the help file. They should help considerably.

You can use Alt Gr+ Printscreen to get a screenshot from the active window. (I thought everyone knew this)
