GetTextInRect doesn't work with variables (in WinXP)

This is now working?????
I had to reboot (for a different issue) and when I came back to this, it works.

Self Healing software?

I am trying to see the text of a button (not a standard Windows control so I have to do it the hard way).

Both of the following work on Win7 but not on WinXP (using MS Portable).
In XP, when I try to use variables for the coordinates, I get a blank.

Any suggestions?

Code: Select all

Let>XCoord=680
Let>YCoord=169
Let>Offset=30
Let>X1=XCoord-Offset
Let>Y1=YCoord-Offset
Let>X2=XCoord+Offset
Let>Y2=YCoord+Offset

//This does not work in XP
GetTextInRect>X1,Y1,X2,Y2,str1
MDL>str1

//This works in both
GetTextInRect>650,139,710,199,str2
MDL>str2

I suspect the text capture hooks weren't loaded. Not that the variables weren't working. Worth putting GetTextReset at the top of your script. Which should force the libraries to reload.

That makes sense.

Thanks!
