hello friend,
i want a help regarding retrieving data from a Window's Edit boxes.
The situation is like this:There is a window( seems to be a dialog box produced by some Application). The window is containing many sub windows(controls inside it). my requirement is to read the data present in those controls/sub windows/edit boxes.
The extent to which i have come is, able to get a handle to that edit box( of class CWND). with that handle it is also working if i try to enable/disable all windows/controls present in a maibn parent window . if i am using the function ::GetWindowText(), i am not getting the text in that edit box( where as for all button window i am getting their captions like &OK,&Edit e.t.c).
please tell me how to access the text present in the editboxes.
and my problem is like this said above in last paragraph.

please post the code where you are using GetWindowText() because it should work.
CEdit* pEdit = ;
CString strText = "";
pEdit->GetWindowText(strText);

the main window therei is 'System Event" from which i anm trying to read the contents of all its sub windows( edit boxes e.t.c)
void WManip(CWnd *WndActiveChild ,CWnd *WndParent)
{
CWnd * WndActiveChildRead;
CEdit *WndEdit;
LPTSTR EditText;
COleDataObject ClipObj;
tagSTGMEDIUM *strVar;
LPCTSTR lpctFormat;
int ControlID,WinCount = 0;
CString rString,temprString,text;
WndActiveChild->SetForegroundWindow();
WndActiveChild->SetFocus();
// WndActiveChild->OpenClipboard();
// if (( (WndActiveChild->GetClipboardOwner()) ->GetWindowText(rString) ) != 0 )
// (WndActiveChild->GetClipboardOwner()) ->GetWindowText(rString);
// if (rString != "")
// AfxMessageBox("some thingn hapend "+rString);
ControlID = WndActiveChild->GetDlgCtrlID();
WndActiveChild->GetWindowText(rString);
AfxMessageBox(rString);
//WndEdit = WndActiveChild ;
// ClipObj.AttachClipboard();
// strVar = new tagSTGMEDIUM;
// ClipObj.GetData(CF_TEXT, strVar,NULL);
// WndActiveChild ->GetLine(0,EditText);
// WndParent ->GetDlgItemText(ControlID,rString);
// temprString.Format("%s%d%s", (LPCTSTR) rString,ControlID, (LPCTSTR)EditText ); //(LPCTSTR) rString,
AfxMessageBox(temprString);
// the following code is just for testing i have put.
if (rString.Compare("&Edit") == 0)
{
WndActiveChild->PostMessage(WM_LBUTTONDOWN,0,0);
Sleep(50);
WndActiveChild->PostMessage(WM_LBUTTONUP,0,0);
// WndParent->CheckDlgButton(i,1);
}
// WndActiveChild->EnableWindow(false);
WinCount ++;
}
void CConfigTool_AutomateDlg::OnOK()
{
int i,WinCount = 0;
CString rString,temprString,text;
CEdit EControl;
CWnd * pActWindow,*pActChildWindow,*pActChild1Window, *pActChild2Window ;
// pActWindow = CWnd::GetActiveWindow();
pActWindow = CWnd::FindWindow(NULL ,"System Event");
pActWindow->SetForegroundWindow();
// pActWindow->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
pActChildWindow = pActWindow->GetTopWindow();
while (pActChildWindow != NULL)
{

pActChildWindow = pActChildWindow->GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDNEXT);
}
// temprString.Format("%s%d", "Total number of windows" , i);
// AfxMessageBox(temprString);
if (CanExit())

did you really think that i was going to read that entiere code ?
first of all, if you one anyone reading and validating it, put it into <pre></pre> tags to be more readable. moreover, i just asked for the code where you were using the GetWindowText(), not the whole one... so, please use the [modify] link at the bottom of your post...

while(wncdhild1!= NULL)
{
GetWindowContent(wndchild,wndparent);
wndchild2= wndchild1->GetTopWindow();
while(wncdhild2!= NULL)
{
GetWindowContent(wndchild,wndparent);
wndchild2= wndchild2->GetNextWindow()
}

If you trying to retrieve content from Window/Edit box thats belong to some other process... then GetWindowText(..) api will not work..
You have to use WM_GETTEXT and WM_GETTEXTLENGTH message to reterive the text of that window.

You cant read the edit box because it not in you process however do not fret
lResult = SendMessage(
// returns LRESULT in lResult
(HWND) hWndControl,
// handle to destination control
(UINT) WM_GETTEXT,
// message ID
(WPARAM) wParam,
// = (WPARAM) () wParam;
(LPARAM) lParam
// = (LPARAM) () lParam;
);
Look up further documentation on the web but this will take care of your problem.

Hello,
At the moment Im writing on a code-comment macro that shall automatically generate comment-dummys for namespaces, classes, functions, etc., because I want to use my code with doxygen.
After matching with several problems Ive come to a problem I cannot solve myself.
Im using the CodeElements Interface to go through all elements and use the Comment-member of the CodeElement (eg. CodeClass) to set my comment-dummy.
In fact the problem is quite simple:
Visual Studio only assigns a comment to a CodeElement when it is looking like that:
// bla blub
// further blubb
but not if it looks like that
/* hrhr
*/
or that
//! codecomment
It wouldnt be any problem to make comments that are accepted by doxygen, but these comments are not assigned to the CodeElement and this way are not shown in the information-window that opens when you are goind to use the function in your source.
Is there a way to change this visual studio behaviour, so it would accept a comment like this as the comment assigned to the function?
/* void JustDoingSomething()
\brief does something
*/
void JustDoingSomething();
|
|
|
|
|
Hm, just forget about it - my visual studio now also shows the other comments - no idea why this wasnt the case before...

What is the conditions of displaying the message box?
From which function you display the message box?
Did you try with AfxMessageBox(...) instead?

Hi,
only a try
::MessageBox(NULL, "Your text", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR| ... );
