jinbaba Posted February 13, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinbaba Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share 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?
