GetWindowTextEX Quit

Went to using GetWindowsTextEx instead of copy paste to extract the data from a web site. Basically pull all the text on the page and then sort through it to find the stuff I want.

All went swimmingly all morning...Got it half working.

Back at it this afternoon...can't capture text anymore.

Code: Select all

Wait>5
SetFocus>MLXchange - Windows Internet Explorer
GetWindowTextEx>MLXchange - Windows Internet Explorer,strText
wait>5

The result is no text in strText...and there are 8100 chars in that page.

This seems so simple that it is impossible it stopped working. And thinking about that some more I am going to boot this machine on the off chance I have broken something else.

Any Thoughts?
