Make sure you don't have a hidden window with the same title. ^.^

[Iczer]

Yes, there is two window with the same title, but this script cannot get text from either, so question about magic..

Nice, using my function

long shot, but try this at the top of the script:

AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)

[Iczer]

10x! for function

with AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1) text is still not detected - Text=[].

[BinaryBrother]

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3) <--- Try taking a look at "WinTitleMatchMode".

[jdelaney]

He's able to grab the proper window, and control...just unable to grab the text of the control. You can tell, because the output matches the autoit info tool...there is just a difference in how the autoit info tool grabs the text, and how controlgettext grabs the text:

>>>> Control <<<<

Class: Static

ClassnameNN: Static5

ControlCounter=[15] ControlID=[1002] Handle=[0x0014066E] ClassNN=[static5] XPos=[196] YPos=[102] Width=[284] Height=[24] Text=[].

Then handles are different, but I suspect the autoit info captured the control on a different running instance of the output of Var_GetAllWindowsControls2

[Iczer]

it seems i cant get any progress with ControlGetText returning blank string...

maybe someone can get me hint how to get same text as Window Info tool getting from window?

on another side - maybe its somewhat of bug? since Window Info tool is as internal for Autoit as ControlGetText...

[Iczer]

filled the bug ticket #2356

hope it can be fixed in coming betas...

[junkew]

Could it be due to 32 bits and 64 bits versions?
