LabView and AutoIT? - (Moved)

[fikri]

Hello to all.

I would like to make automation for LabView compiled project exe.

Actually I just need to get values (results) from labview textboxes. But since labview not using MS componenents, is that possible.

I spend lot of time by googling and tried some scripts but without success.

Is this possible at all? 

Also, I cannot read text properties window by any spy tool?  

 

here is what I have from AutoIt Info:

ExStyle: 0x00040300

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

Read faq 31 try all spytools that are mentioned there.

If you can navigate with keys to right textbox sending copy paste could be an approach.

This document tells that labview does not adhere much to assistive technologies.

Hello, thank you for answer.

Actually this should be simple project. Copy values from textboxes and save them to SQL Server.

I tried all spy tools I founded on the web. Still cannot read anything from textbox.

I can use keys arrows and tab to create between boxes. 

Tonight I will try all from your list. 

Thanks

 Oh it’ll be anything but simple. One thing I’ve learned in life is never underestimate the job. Read FAQ 31

au3inf part of AutoIT

simplespy in the zip

jabsimplespy in examples section of the AutoIt forum

control viewer

ranorex..

Tried all. Nothing...

 

Just downloading TestComplete but I am not optimist.

labview doesn't use MS controls and that is probably problem?

Another idea is to capture screen and then OCR, but is is complicated... How to know exactly possition of textbox?

And what if I change resolution?

 

I thought this will be simple, but I failed on first step

TestComplete might well be able too. it can do an awful lot. I used it, but it was getting expensive and I can do the same with C# and AutoIt so I just do that now.

You probably have stable positions x y of your textbox so either click on x y location to activate textbox or do it based on percentage distance x y relative from width height of the windows.

When its activated send ctrl a which will select all text in textbox and the send ctrl c to get it on clipboard. Then use clipboard functions to get it into variable.

[fikri]

Yea. That can be good idea.

Well, I must repeat learning autoit script in the meantime,... Last my project with autoit was before maybe 5 years.

If you have some samples that will save me lot of time.

Thank you for idea.
