Example

The code below shows how to get the OCRTextBlock object by using the BlockByText method:

JavaScript, JScript

function GetObjectByText()
{
  var textToGet = "OK";

  var p = Sys.WaitProcess("notepad", 3000);
  if (p.Exists)
  {
    // Get the Notepad window
    var wndNotepad = p.WaitWindow("Notepad", "*", 1, 3000);
    if (wndNotepad.Exists)
    {
      wndNotepad.MainMenu.Click("Help|About Notepad");
      // Get the About Notepad window
      var wndAbout = p.WaitWindow("#32770", "About Notepad", 1, 3000);
      if (wndAbout.Exists)
      {
        // Recognize the text that the About Notepad window contains
        var recognizedText = OCR.Recognize(wndAbout);

        // Checks whether the recognized text contains the needed fragment
        if (aqString.Find(recognizedText.FullText, textToGet, 0, false) > -1)
        {
          var okTextBlock = recognizedText.BlockByText(textToGet);
          // Click on the window area that contains the specified text
          okTextBlock.Click();
        }
      }
    }
  }
  else
  {
    Log.Warning("Notepad is not running.");
  }
}

Python

def GetObjectByText():
  textToGet = "OK"

  p = Sys.WaitProcess("notepad", 3000)
  if p.Exists:
    # Get the Notepad window
    wndNotepad = p.WaitWindow("Notepad", "*", 1, 3000)
    if wndNotepad.Exists:
      wndNotepad.MainMenu.Click("Help|About Notepad")
      # Get the About Notepad window
      wndAbout = p.WaitWindow("#32770", "About Notepad", 1, 3000)
      if wndAbout.Exists:
        # Recognize the text that the About Notepad window contains
        recognizedText = OCR.Recognize(wndAbout)

        # Checks whether the recognized text contains the needed fragment
        if aqString.Find(recognizedText.FullText, textToGet, 0, False) > -1:
          okTextBlock = recognizedText.BlockByText(textToGet)
          # Click on the window area that contains the specified text
          okTextBlock.Click()
  else:
    Log.Warning("Notepad is not running.")
