What i need to know is - Is this class any List view? Will I be able to access any data from this type of class? Thanks a ton for your patience and response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Not having any idea what a AfxWnd42s class control might be, I gave it a Google and came up with this post:Those Afx window classes were custom classes distributed with early versions of MFC, before the "Common Controls" concept was introduced.Many people have tried to "read" text from them but you CAN'T, not with messages anyway!They're almost certainly owner-drawn - the text is not delivered by messages, it's "hand-drawn" into the window's DCIs this a pretty old legacy-app? Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class... Is now in Session!For those who want somebody to write the script for them: RentACoder"Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced." -- Geek's corollary to Clarke's law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtr Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 This will most likely be too late for the original poster, but may help somebody searching the archives: dealing with another legacy application, i seem to be able to read the contents out of AfxWnd42s controls using textcapturex by Deskperience Software. i am still having problems reading the content out of those pesky Afx:400000:8:10013:b1010b and similar controls. Hth, olo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hth,I know that class. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
