i was wondering is there a script that can copy any text on the screen even if it is gray out or don't allow you to highlight the text? similar to the software Capture Text?

also is there a way to setup a key to paste the clipboard without using such script as : send {Ctrl down}+{V}{Ctrl Up}

the Clipboard is stored in as the variable %clipboard%

WinGetText
Clipboard

for pasting using F4 key:

I have an issue much like the OP. I would like to be able to get a value, in my case a number, which is unselectable. I can not highlight it or anything. Can WinGetTxt pull this hidden txt? I tried using WinSpy to find it but I did not see it listed there either. The txt is always in the same place on the window every time if that helps...

If you click on the ui with the number do you get a ClassNN or Text: from AU3_Spy? For instance:
If you get a ClassNN name, you can possibly use:
This doesnt always work, but sometimes it does.

Good luck

This is what i got from Winspy

>>>>>>>>>( Now Under Mouse Cursor )<<<<<<<<
ClassNN: JWLISTSUB1
Text:
Color: 0x800000 (Blue=80 Green=00 Red=00)

How do i know if this gets the txt? Will it save it to the clipboard? Do I need to modify it with the actual window names?

Thanks

Sorry I forgot to add that you also get the Window Title & Class from the Spy.

Anyway this may work.


Please post your results.

This is what im using.

!c::
MouseGetPos,,,win, cont
ControlGetText, controlText, JWLISTSUB1, S2K Enterprise ;
msgbox % controlText

And it always returns an empty msgbox.

The control name indicates that it's a list or sub-list from a listbox, try this and see what it does:

I dont know what I am doing wrong... all these do are return empty msgboxes.
