Text recognition with Java application

AEMSUser · Post by **AEMSUser** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 7:04 pm

Hi,

I'm using Macro Scheduler to record some tests on a Java application. Macro Scheduler recognizes rightfully the windows name (with functions like WaitWindowOpen by exemple) but doesn't recognize buttons (PushButton>) text (GetWindowTextEx>) or checkbox (SetCheckBox>).

Someone has an idea for this problem ? Regards.

If this program is not using "conventional" Windows buttons, then you could use MouseMove or MouseMoveRel or FindImagePos or GetTextxxx commands. Many examples in Help and on forum

See:

If the Java app uses the AWT or SWT frameworks you can capture its text. If it uses Swing, you can't, because Swing doesn't use Windows text output functions.

Ok !

So, that's the problem : Swing. Thanks to both of you.
