How to get text from a control ?

The window has edit control: ClassNN=Edit3, Text="File.txt"

For this edit control I get text with:

Code:

   ControlGetText, OutputVar, Edit3, WindowName
   MSGBOX OutputVar = %OutputVar%


This works OK (displays: "OutputVar = File.txt").


The window also has static/text control: ClassNN=Static10, Text="File size: 10 KB"

For this control I tried to get text with:

Code:

   ControlGetText, OutputVar, Static10, WindowName
   MSGBOX OutputVar = %OutputVar%


But this doesn't work OK (displays: "OutputVar = Static").


The window also has static/text control: ClassNN=Static12, Text="File ext: txt"

For this control I tried to get text with:

Code:

ControlGetText, OutputVar, Static12, WindowName
MSGBOX OutputVar = %OutputVar%


But this doesn't work OK (displays: "OutputVar = ").

Can Window Spy see the text you're trying to retrieve?
