patgenn123 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hello all! Still a newbie, but slowly but surely getting the "simple things" I look all around for this, but can't find it. If a mouse is hovering over an icon that "pops up" a tooltip, can AutoIt be able to tell me(need to copy it to the clipboard) what the text of the tooltip is corresponding to what's under the mouse? Thank you! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiti Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 "what the text of the tooltip is corresponding to what's under the mouse" ? I didn't understood this part... So, you want AutoIt to read what a tooltip is saying, and copy the text in the tooltip to clipboard?

patgenn123 Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Yes! on mouseover, if there is a tooltip "popping up", capture the text and copy it to the clipboard. Thanks for asking. I wasn't clear. I don't know a lot of terminology yet. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCreatoR Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Is this tooltip from your own created GUI, or it is from external application? ToolTip is basically a window, so you can try something like this: #include <GuiConstants.au3> $GUI = GUICreate("Test Script", 300, 200) GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 20, 40, 60, 20) GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Some ToolTip text") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI) AdlibEnable("_CheckToolTip_Proc", 100) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func _CheckToolTip_Proc() Local $sToolTip_Text = "" Local $sWinList = WinList("[CLASS:tooltips_class32]") For $i = 1 To UBound($sWinList)-1 If BitAND(WinGetState($sWinList[$i][1]), 2) = 2 Then $sToolTip_Text = $sWinList[$i][0] ExitLoop EndIf Next If $sToolTip_Text <> "" And $sToolTip_Text <> ClipGet() Then ClipPut($sToolTip_Text) ConsoleWrite($sToolTip_Text & @LF) EndIf EndFunc Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...

patgenn123 Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) it looks like this is an autoit script creating a GUI. Duh. Please forgive me, I am really trying to figure this out. Actually, I am looking for a script for an external application. Any other ideas for external app would be welcome. Thanks!

MrCreatoR Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Have you tried that example? it will put to clipboard tooltip text every time you hover a control that trigger tooltip (if the previouse tooltip text not the same), even in external application.

patgenn123 Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Wow! Not yet. I am at work and can't get to my computer until later, but thank YOU! I am dying to learn this. This is such an amazing tool. You're tremendous. I look forward to trying it. Kudos to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sincerely, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Have you tried that example? it will put to clipboard tooltip text every time you hover a control that trigger tooltip (if the previouse tooltip text not the same), even in external application.It works in the example you gave. I was surpised that the window title gives the text but obviously it does. Thanks MrNameChangedCreatoR I tried it for tooltips in FireFox and a Delphi application but it didn't work for either of them. Probably they don't use tooltips_class32. Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.
