jinbaba Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Hello Folks, How to get hidden text in autoIt. The problem is when I use "WinGetText()". It returns visible plus hidden text. In my scenario I have to differentiate between hidden and visible text. Thanx, Jinbaba

jinbaba Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Hello M23, Actually, I was working with "WinDetectHiddenText" option set. Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2) Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1) $text = WinGetText("Untitled -", "") MsgBox(0, "Text read was:", $text) The problem I mentioned is how do I differentiate between hidden and visible text. One method would be Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2) Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1) $all_text = WinGetText("Untitled -", "") Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",0) $visible_text = WinGetText("Untitled -", "") ; hidden_text = $all_text - $visible_text Any better elegant solution? Thanx, Jinbaba
