Setting Focus and Getting Window Title

[kpassaur]

I am working on trying to capture the text contained in the title bar of a window.

I wrote this simple script to display it as it sets focus on the parent window then the child window.

In Access I notice that Access the Names of the Windows are listed like this



66550 - OTable "email addresses : Table"
262808 - OForm "Form Test : Form"

How would I capture the one that is on top and get all of the text in the line? Anyone know?



MDL>Click on the Window that contains the value to be used as a Commandline

GetActiveWindow>parent,X,Y

Try using the GetControlText> command.

GetControlText>WindowTitle,ClassName,Instance,Result

where ClassName would be replaced by OTable

GCT>WindowTitleGoesHere,OTable,1,HereIsYourAnswer

where 1 means it is the first occurrence of such an object on the desktop.

With this window open, View System Windows ( I believe on the tools menu) will show you the Classes, just count all instances of OTable (probably just the one) until you get to the one in which you are interested...that's your "instance"...

good luck...

Gave it a try, and it returned ##NOSUCHWINDOW##,
I copied the text from the view system windows tool so it would be an exact match.

Any other ideas?

Any chance I can get a look at this app? If not, how about an on-line session so you can show me what you are dealing with?

Paul,

I am away for the next couple of weeks without much internet access. The program though is Microsoft Access.

Thanks for looking into this
