how to capture text appearing on the toolstrip component

[rooshabhsheth 0]

Hi All,

I'm using AutoIT tool to find how much time application takes when a user to click on save button and the 'data saved' message coming on the screen.

my problem is the data saved message is not a popup box else i could've used winwait function i guess.

I talked to developer and he informed me that the 'data saved' message appears on the control called toolstrip which is .NET component.

we are using .NET 3.5 to develop the application which is client server application.

I used AutoIT info tool but the message 'data saved' does not appear either on visible text or hidden text

providing Summary detail given by AutoIT info tool. can any1 help

Looking at the output - not sure if what a WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a is not how to capture it. You can use my get control mouse tool in my sig to see of that helps.

Anyway, if it is like a label and you can get a handle to it, then you can test the text with a loop to get your time.
