Getting "Visible text"

[Edno]

Hi,

I try to get text from a window, the text is available when using "AutoIt v3 Window Info", but when I use the WindowGetText the result is empty.

Does anyone know the script used in the Au3Spy's tab "Visible text" ?

Regards,

Edno.

used this:

msgbox(4096,"",WinGetText("AutoIt Forums -> General Help and Support - Microsoft Internet Explorer",""))

works perfectly..

It doesn't work with my application, but fortunately I've found an other solution to solve my issue.

I am also having trouble with this. Trying to get the text of a code editor - something better than notepad preferably - perhaps notepad++ or (best of all) Dreamweaver. If I use the advanced mode for getting the window, I get the contents of the 'visible text' panel from window info, but all the actual text - the text I really want - appears to be a bunch of little squares (non-printable characters?). Is this a text encoding issue? How do I convert those 'little squares' into the text I actually see in the window, and how to I seperate the 'little squares' from the rest of the visible text (button lábels etc.) ???
