Python Forum

Hi.

I am trying to read some data off the screen of an application (An embedded debugger) I want to read the test that is the program counter. here is a picture of the application..
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/16nukm9o..._code_help

I wrote (poorly) the following python 2.7 code:

from pywinauto import Application
app = Application().connect(path =r"c:\Program Files (x86)\NoICE\bin\NoICE12.exe")
dlg = app.top_window()
dlg.print_control_identifiers()

now, it gives me a HUGE and complicated mess, so much so that I have no idea how to ask for the window with the program counter in it. (see below and
text file an above link)

I am a fair VB 6 programmer (no expert by any means) and the output here is very vexing to me. I do not see any "text boxes" that would contain the program counter. My limited understanding here tells me that the author is putting the text into "AfxFrameOrView100" but there are multiple copies of this object, (further nothing seems to make any one different / identifiable) -- so I am a t a complete loss.

Can anyone give me a clue ash to how to proceed from here?

Thanks,

---Lou
