with dialog plugin 1.19 this works:
local sTitle = "Untitled - Notepad"
local sApp = "notepad.exe"
local sAppExe = "=notepad"
local sctrlClass = "c=Edit"
if (not visiblewindow(sAppExe)) do
do(sApp)
wait.for(500)
endif
local hHan = win.childhandlelist(sTitle, sctrlClass)
win.debug(hHan)
win.debug("handle to edit control on notepad: ", hHan)
;uses SendMessageTimeout with WM_GETTEXT
win.debug("Text in " ++ sApp ++ " edit control: " ++ ;;+
dialog.get_value(hHan))
;uses SendMessageTimeout with WM_SETTEXT
dialog.set_value(hHan, "qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq") ;; uses WM_SETTEXT
win.debug("Text in " ++ sApp ++ " edit control: " ++ ;;+
dialog.get_value(hHan))
;notepad now in strange state, e.g. you can close it and it won't ask
;to save, doesn't appear to know it's document is changed.
quit
When sent to an edit control, get_value and _set_value don't use
e.g OpenProcess, VirtualAllocEx, SendMessageTimeout, ReadProcessMemory. Very
curious, as a pointer is getting sent across process boundaries and working.
If I do OpenProcess, VirtualAllocEx, SendMessageTimeout, the last
fails and sets last error to "access denied").
Bottom line: I'm gonna have to go through dialog get/set services control by
control, to figure out what works and what doesn't.
I remember Sheri saying either getting or setting font didn't work on out of
process controls. If anyone else has had experience of any other out of
process controls not working, let me know.
