Hi,

My problem is using StatusBarGetText command with a specific program. Firstly I have never faced any problem using it in my different applications. The program which I want to get text from its statusbar is RUMBA. I don't know if anyone had used it before but i am using it as tn3270 application to connect a mainframe. If anyone can help me to get the text from its statusbar i will be greatful. An example of the simple script that i am using is given below.


StatusBarGetText, stext , 1 , RUMBA Mainframe Display
msgbox, %stext%


Thanks for your concern.

If the StatusBar won't respond, what about to catch the "appearance" of the string within that specific area ?

Does RUMBA provide any realtime-logfile-creation ?

Tricky, using Winspy, is the classNN of the statusbar in RUMBA msctls_statusbar321?
The StatusBarWait/StatusBarGetText commands only works with this ClassNN.
If it isn't, you could try using GuiControlGetText instead.

Hi serenity,
I used winspy and ClassNN of Rumba is wd_Statusbar1. Is there any way to change the classNN like modifying the dll's of Rumba.

And bobo thanks for your advice bu i need what is written on the statusbar so using imagesearch will be only a partial solution.

Have you tried ControlGetText? It can retrieve text from any control, simply specify the classNN like so:

I have tried controltext bu it does not work either.
Thanks for your help. I think I should find another way to get the text.
