So simply find that window then then get all it's children. So maybe something like this? myGridWindows = Activewindow.Children.FilterByClassAndModule("TDBGridView, "") If myGridWindows.Count <> 1 Then Speak "humm, something went wrong" ' sound the alarms and abort here cause we either didn't find the control or there was more then 1 Else myClips = myGridWindows(1).clips(False, False) ' myClips now has all the clips for the TDBGridView control only in a static form End If Regards, Doug Ralf Kefferpuetz wrote: Hi all, I use a chat application which can be read very good with user windows and I'm more and less happy with this user window solution, but I want to start using scripting to accomplish same or better results. So far so good :D Since I'm a beginner in objected oriented scripting I've got a simple question. The Chat application is divided in 2 major parts, on the left side is the area where users can type and read what others typed. On the right side is a list of all room members. I want to write a script which reads to me tha names of the users in the room from top to bottom. Again, this was easy doing with a user window. With the following code I can read all clips in the chat window, the text the users are typing and the names of the users, menus etc: in the room: set cc = activewindow.clips for i = 1 to cc.count : print i & " " & cc(i).text : next The problem is that the clip number for the user names on the right side alters with the number of messeges the user are typing. The class for the right part with the usernames is called TDBGridView. Now finally my question: How can I just read the content of the class TDBGridView, instead of the full screen?

One way to do it is to search for the title you'd give the page you're interested in. The search page will tell you "There is no page titled "whatever". You can [link] create this page." If you follow the "create this page" link, you will - not surprisingly - create the page, which you can then edit to your heart's content. -- To insure that you receive proper support, please include all past correspondence (where applicable), and any relevant information pertinent to your situation when submitting a problem report to the GW Micro Technical Support Team.
