Screen Scraping

Post by atom » Thu Feb 12, 2009 8:01 pm

Hiya

I have the hWND to a window, and want to scrape all the text of the window.
Ive had a dig around the .net libraries, and Windows API, and couldnt find anything. There are tools out there but theyre not free.

Does Ranorex have any screen text capture capability ?

Regards

Currently, Ranorex does not support any OCR functionality. You can get the text of a window if it's provided by the WindowText attribute or by a property if it's a Windows Forms control (see Control.GetPropertyValue method). However, you can't get the text from a control if the text is simply drawn and not accessible in any other way.
