Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to get a value from the below function and pass it to strPrice.  
What's weird is I the function itself will show the value but it is not 
returning to strPrice.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.


Sub FindPrice()

Dim strPrice As String
Connect "BPE Batch Payment Entry - Affinity", stWindows
strPrice = GetPriceTextout(582, 63)

End Sub
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function GetPriceTextout(x As String, y As String) As String

Dim TOut As New CTextout
Dim yourvalue As String
Connect "BPE Batch Payment Entry - Affinity", stWindows
Key "@_LOGON"   ' Dipping into the screen output.
Set TOut.w = R
' Clearing the prior text out string
TOut.LikeTextOutString = ""
' Setting the filter stuff.  Not really necessary
TOut.LikeX = x
TOut.LikeY = y
' This is an infinite loop.  You want to modify the script so it will jump out
' Once it finds what it's looking for.

' You might want to put some logic in to handle a possible situation
' were the x and y are never found.
Dim Loops As Integer
Loops = 0
Do
    Loops = Loops + 1
    View B:=bcTextOutNoClear
    ' This inner loop is saying search through the buffered up information for
    ' The information I'm looking for.
    Do Until TOut.IsEmpty
        TOut.NextTextOut
        If TOut.Filtered Then
           Debug.Print TOut.x, TOut.y, TOut.TextOutString
           ' This line stores the value on the screen to a variable.
            yourvalue = TOut.TextOutString
            GetTextout = TOut.TextOutString

           Exit Function
        End If
        If TOut.x = "582" And TOut.y = "63" Then
           ' Insert stuff here.
        End If
    Loop
    Wait 0.2
    'TOut.ReDraw
    RePaint
Loop Until Loops > 10
If Loops > 10 Then
   'MsgBox ("I didn't find anything")
Exit Function
End If
End Function
