TextCapture not working

Post by gleff » Sat Jul 16, 2016 1:22 pm

Hi all,

I've got Macro Scheduler 14 Standard. I'm running it on my laptop which is a 64 bit Windows 10.

When I try the Text Capture Wizard and try the Get Text from Screen X,Y Position by holding down shift and move the mouse, the X,Y co-ordinates change but it doesn't seem to capture any text from anywhere.

I read there used to be an issue with x64 many years ago, but can't see any mention of it ever being fixed. Is it still an issue or is something else wrong?

The Get Caption Text from Control seems to work but that's the only option that seems to work, the other 3 options in the Text Capture Wizard don't do anything.

Ok.. I can see the issue now. Some programs work and others don't. I've also just read the blog post that explains this.

All good.
