Minikori Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I want to get text from current control, but control is not in my GUI and I don't know what should I use for controlID in this case. I use this but not work: ControlGetText("[ACTIVE]","",_WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID(_WinAPI_GetFocus()))Whats the window your trying to get? For those who are asking questions, look in the help file first. I'm tired of people asking stupid questions about how to do things when 10 seconds in the help file could solve their problem.[quote name='JRowe' date='24 January 2010 - 05:58 PM' timestamp='1264381100' post='766337'][quote name='beerman' date='24 January 2010 - 03:28 PM' timestamp='1264372082' post='766300']They already have a punishment system for abuse.[/quote]... and his his name is Valik.[/quote]www.minikori.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted August 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 14, 2008 Return 0. Is another way to get text from a control? The method with WinGetTitle worked fine for me.#include <WinAPI.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1) _Main() Func _Main() Local $gui, $msg, $btnFocus, $win, $text $gui = GUICreate("__WinAPI_GetFocus Example", 200, 200) Local $hlabel = GUICtrlCreateEdit("I am an edit", 10, 10, 150, 50) $btnFocus = GUICtrlCreateButton("Get Focus", 50, 85, 100, 30) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $msg = $btnFocus ControlFocus($gui, "", $hlabel) ;;;;;;; Put focus on edit $win = _WinAPI_GetFocus() $text = "Full Title: " & WinGetTitle($win) & @LF $text &= "Full Text: " & WinGetText($win) & @LF $text &= "Handle: " & WinGetHandle($win) & @LF $text &= "Process: " & WinGetProcess($win) & @LF MsgBox(0, "", $text) EndSelect WEnd EndFunc ;==>_MainThat clearly demonstrating it working. Are you even sure it's a standard control and not owner drawn. Did you try using AutoInfo tool to see what the results are? Maybe what you think has focus doesn't?

Andreik Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) use autoit info to get the control id I can't use autoit info to get control id Just tested and _WinAPI_GetFocus() return 0x000000, but the edit control is selected. @SmOke_N Your example is good but I can't focus edit control because I don't know controlID.

DssTrainer Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Having this same problem. Is there a bug with _WinAPI_GetFocus() ? I can't even get focus on calc.exe or notepad.exe. Keeps returning 0x0000000. The final solution here does me no good as my script will be used on many diff windows, not one with a static name sleep (5000) ;give time to focus a window after start $win =_WinAPI_GetFocus() MsgBox(0, "handle", $win) -----> 0x0000000 $wintitle = WinGetTitle($win) MsgBox(0, "title", $wintitle) ------> 0 Edited March 4, 2009 by DssTrainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
