If Visible Text in window - do this Topic is solved

[AndyRal123]

Hello,


Thank You in advance for any help and for this autohotkey community forum.
I tried many ways, have read docs and forum threads, but cannot make it work.

I want to make script, in which:
- if there is visible text 'alamypanel' in window:
▶ then make ''o'' execute :: MsgBox, alamypanel found

The visible text is the only thing changing between active windows in this program, so I want something like #ifwinactive but instead of checking the #wintitle to make it check if this specific 'alamypanel' text is visible in window.

I tried, but did not work:

Code: Select all

DetectHiddenText, Off

WinGetTitle, WinTitle,Alamy - User Bar
WinGetText, WinText,alamypanel
o::    
MsgBox, MsgBox, alamypanel found

also tried, but did not work:

Code: Select all

WinGetTitle, WinTitle, Alamy - User Bar
WinGetText, visibleTextString, alamypanel
o::    
MsgBox, alamypanel found

Is there a way to make the visible text detection just like with #ifwinactive?

Much much gratitude for any help with script, because I cannot find the proper line for that.
Thank You,
Andy

Code: Select all

winTitle = Alamy - User Bar

#If WinExist(winTitle) && visibleText(winTitle)
o::MsgBox, 64, Found, alamy found
#If

visibleText(winTitle) {
 DetectHiddenText, Off
 WinGetText, text, %winTitle%
 Return StrLen(text)
}

Hello again Mikey @mikeyww

Thank You very much for response, another time You are helping me out. :)
Well I tried these lines, changed them in many ways, but I can not see anywhere here, that the code recognizes if text 'alamypanel' is visible in the window.
For me it looks like the code treats winTitle as a visible text, because nowhere it mentions detection of visible text 'alamypanel'.
Therefore, it works always when it sees that window title.

Whereas I want to execute shortcut, only when text 'alamypanel' is visible on the screen.
Is there something to correct here?


Thank You very much for Your help and time.
All good and greetings,
Andy

Same idea.

Code: Select all

winTitle = Alamy - User Bar

#If WinExist(winTitle) && visibleText(winTitle, "alamypanel")
o::MsgBox, 64, Found, alamy found
#If

visibleText(winTitle, find) {
 DetectHiddenText, Off
 WinGetText, text, %winTitle%
 Return Instr(text, find)
}
