AccViewer crashing, Acc.ahk failing (invoke items, retrieve text, IE/Explorer/VLC)
Posted: 04 Jan 2017, 15:30
[EDIT: all the problems have now been resolved and the solutions described in the posts below]
I have had problems on some windows where AccViewer
has initial success but later crashes:
- Explorer windows (Windows 7) attempt to navigate menu and trigger
'Edit, Invert Selection'.
- AutoHotkey Help (AutoHotkey.chm opens with HTML Help, hh.exe),
attempt to retrieve text from the treeview (Contents tab).
I have had problems on some windows where AccViewer
is successful, but I have problems retrieving the information via Acc.ahk:
- Internet Explorer, close the notification bar (e.g. bar that
appears when you left-click on Download AutoHotkey Installer
at https://autohotkey.com/download/).
- VLC, retrieve timestamp.
Btw can AccViewer retrieve all the column text from a standard SysListView32 listview control.
accDescription retrieves columns other than the main column,
but in an untidy way (it includes the listview headers, and does not use line breaks).
Btw also, are there other techniques that AutoHotkey can use to retrieve information from windows other than:
ControlGet, AU3_Spy, AccViewer, iWB2 Learner.
