Ann, the syntax for retrieving text using getroproperty is: var =
object.getroproperty("text")
I have found that getvisibletext is unreliable, especially when the background
of the text has a graduated shading. Getvisibletext uses OCR to read the text
from the screen. Errors occur when the contrast between the text and the
background is not uniform. Getvisibletext should only be used to read text
that cannot be obtained any other way. However, understand that it may be
unreliable. I have an application where text is sometimes painted on the
screen and cannot be obtained through an object's text property. Getvisibltext
is the only way to get the text in this instance; however, I have to ensure
that the row is not highlighted since highlighting uses vertically graduated
shading.
