GetTextInRect

[brentmtc]

Trying to create a screen scraping macro that captures text from text boxes on a web-based form and then writes that data to a db. I'm just starting out here. Here is the code I have so far:


//Recorded Events
//Recorded Events
Let>WW_TIMEOUT=5
CapsOff

//Set focus to Appointment Scheduling--------------------------------
SetFocus>Appointment Scheduling*
WaitWindowOpen>Appointment Scheduling*

//Get window position and move mouse to the correct field------------
GetWindowPos>Appointment Scheduling*,WindowX,WindowY
Let>PosX=WindowX+220
Let>PosY=WindowY+191
Wait>0.2
MouseMove>PosX,PosY
Wait>0.2
LClick
Wait>0.8

GetTextInRect>220,191,LastName
MessageModal>LastName

With 220,191 being the X,Y point of the beginning of the text box. When the msg box pop up. It has no data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

GetTextIRect requires four points - it gets text from a rectangle. From the help file:

GetTextInRect>left,top,right,bottom,result_variable

Retrieves text found in the screen rectangle bound by coordinates left,top and right,bottom.

So you need to add the right and bottom coordinates:

GetTextInRect>220,191,RIGHT,BOTTOM,LastName

These are screen coordinates.

Still nothing in msg box. Do I need the left, top,right,bottom of each txt box with many GetTextInRect> code blocks for each txt box?

GetTextInRect>220,191,892,448,LastName
MessageModal>LastName

Thanks.

Same issue here. The result variable for GetTextInRect occasionally seems to be empty. This is a recurring, random issue for me. Will do some research on the forums.

(MS 10.1.21e. Have GetWordNT.dll and ICall.dll in the MS root dir.)

Will continue my updates here.
