MsgTextGet

Returns the contents of a Windows message box.

Syntax:

MsgTextGet(window-name)

Parameters:

(s) window-name full title of the message box window.

Returns:

(s)  contents of the message box.

 

This function returns the text contents of a standard Windows message box. "Window-name" must be the full title of the message box window, and is case-sensitive.

Note1: This function may not work with the types of message boxes created by the application you wish to control if it is not a standard Windows Message box. However, if this function does work, it is the easiest way to keep tabs on an application.

Note2: This function will not work with the types of message boxes created by most WIL functions, since they are not standard Windows message boxes.

Example:


msg = MsgTextGet("Microsoft Word")
If msg == "Search text not found"
   SendKey("~")
EndIf
Message("MsgTextGet"," Message Text Gotten.")
