Reading Statusbar

[Monty]

Ok, this is kind of hard to explain...but here it goes.

I was using 'v3.2.12.0' and everthing was working fine...until I switched to 'v3.2.12.1'.

At work we use a phone application. The statusbar of this application displays the current status of the representative.

Examples:

----------

AgentStatus: Ready

AgentStatus: NotReady

AgentStatus: Talking

and so on...

This is the command I used in the older version to read the status:

CODE

$handle = ControlGetHandle("Agent Desktop", "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.msctls_statusbar32; INSTANCE:1]")

$agentstatus = _GUICtrlStatusBar_GetText($handle, 3)

Eversince I have switched to the newer version, using the above command does not display the full information...ie: instead of showing 'AgentStatus: Ready', it only shows 'Agentstatus'.

Is there now a problem with this command or do I need to add some extra lines to fix this issue.

Replace _GUICtrlStatusBar_GetText() in "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\guistatusbar.au3" by this fix.

This was fixed in 3.2.13.0 (7th June, 2008) (Beta)

UDFs:

- Fixed #321: _GUICtrlStatusBar_GetText buffer length for Unicode

Thanks for this. Was not aware and thought I was going crazy. Will try first thing tomorrow morning at work.
