64 bit support for GetTextAtPoint and GetWindowTextEx

Post by bnc1 » Fri Jul 25, 2008 7:23 am

Version 10 of Macro Scheduler has some new and powerful window text commands such as GetTextAtPoint and GetWindowTextEx. However these commands do not work on 64 bit applications in a 64 bit OS like Vista Ultimate x64. Examples are Notepad, Wordpad, Task Scheduler and Windows Explorer. GetTextAtPoint and GetWindowTextEx all work fine on these 32 bit apps in Windows XP 32 bit. Could MS be enhanced so that the window text commands work on 64 bit applications also ?

P.S. Be advised this request is not related to my problem with GetTextatpoint as described in ticket #596266
