Reading from a GUI application

cmohima has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am testing a GUI application(Java-flex based). I am using Win32::GuiTest for it. I can automate the entire workflow with it. But I do not know how to read anything from the application window. So I am able to give inputs using SendKeys but I am not aware of how to read data from the app. Kindly help.

But I do not know how to read anything from the application window. Have you looked at the documentation? It mentions a `GetWindowText` function right in the synopsis. Have you tried it? If yes, what's the problem with it? If not, why not? Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply] [d/l]
