text capture (scroll dialog box)

Post by Moxyspirit » Mon Oct 09, 2017 2:52 pm

I am using the example on a windows XP machine.

I need to capture the complete text from a dialog box. The cut/paste has been disabled in the dialog box. The dialog box is 18 lines, but the output can be several hundred lines long. I would like to edit the example "text capture" script to read through the complete dialog box. The "text capture" script currently is only reading the visible 18 lines.

Is it possible to edit the example "text capture" script? Or am I incorrectly setting up the parameters of the "text capture" example?

best regards

Moxie

You'd need to capture, page down, capture, page down ... until captured text is same as previously captured text.
