I have a third party (Windows 32 bit) application that writes textual information to a window. I would like to use Autoit to write that text to a file in real time (or near real time), if possible. I have played around with the AutoIt v3 Window Info tool to try and retrieve control info on the third party window where the text appears. But this is my first foray into this realm and I'm having trouble figuring out the next step. The "Visible Text" tab for the third party window is empty--I would have hoped this would contain the text information I want to copy.
A little additional info, in the third party window containing the desired text, ctrl-a will not select all text in the window. I can however, click and drag to select all text, and subsequently copy and paste into a text file. However I would like to avoid a click and drag in my situation. Furthermore, the third party window will only allow me to select discrete lines of text (i.e. I cannot select a subset of text from any line--the entire line is selected when I click on it. Any ideas? Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks in advance.
