I didn't search enough

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9591 is the exact same issue and has the answer!

Thanks elenareinoso!

I am trying out the new OCR stuff as a compiled exe and it doesn't work. This runs fine on my development PC, but when I create an exe and try to run from a test pc, no good. // Start Notepad first GetWindowPos>Untitled - Notepad,LEFT,TOP Let>RIGHT=LEFT+200 Let>BOTTOM=TOP+50 OCRArea>LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,B...

I was hoping MS would be able to come up with a way to deal with Microsoft's "Improvements"
I really don't want to have to move to a different automation tool!

Any updates on being able to grab text from Win10?

Marcus' approach will work you just have to convert the absolute values to variables based on the window location. You can change this to move to the middle of the window, or 10pts off the top left corner or whatever you need. Target Position can be checked and updated during the loop. // Set the cu...

Verify how you are addressing the folder

is it j:\QA\Documents....
Or are you using \\QAServer\Documents\....

Sometimes a mapped server does not play well with some of the commands (and other times it is fine???)

There are significant issues with getting text off of the screen!

I had to roll back a couple of test machines because scripts were failing based on this.

The scripts run fine, its just this 1 aspect that is a problem.

There are a couple of things you might have been trying to do so I show 2 techniques You should be able to run this as is since I used c:\Windows // Get the list of all files GetFileList>c:\Windows\*.*,files // Convert to upper case UpperCase>files,files // This is the position of the first occurren...

Looks like I am out of luck until you get new functionality going!

Thanks for help!

Is there a recommended /suggested approach (until you catch up with the new Windows APIs)?

I have a script that has been running for a couple years on Win7. On a machine that I upgraded to Win10 it fails where I was grabbing some text off of the screen. I have tried the GetText variations and GetWindow variations. I have tried the TextCaptureWizard. None of these get the text I need. (App...

It is interesting that there will be periods of heavy forum use and then for a while almost nothing... This is still one of the better forums I deal with: 1. Getting a response 2. Getting a polite & friendly response 3. Getting an accurate response! I am working on a fairly large test automation pro...

obviously more coffee needed...
Many Thanks!

I know I have seen how to find and kill a process or a variant of a process
Notepad_1.exe, Notepad_2.exe etc.

Can someone point to a thread that covers that?
Thanks!
