I can't read the inner text of the object HwndWrapper

I wanna get text of the object HwndWrapper but when I try get the data with the next code doesn’t return none:

from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application().start(cmd_line u'"C:\\app.exe"')
role = app[u'Datos Generales']
table = role[u'1']
dataTable = table.texts()

The previus code doesn’t return none.

I appreciate your collaboration with a solution Thanks

Thanks! It looks like custom grid control that has no standard interfaces for GUI automation. The app was built using MFC framework (it’s pretty old but mostly nice to automate by "win32" backend as well).

Technically it should be possible to implement custom wrapper for this grid if we had source code of this control (not necessary the source code of the whole app).

Otherwise I can suggest only workaround like .type_keys("^a^c") (press Ctrl+A, then press Ctrl+C) and then get text data from clipboard using module pywinauto.clipboard. Of course, it’s only grabbing the data, not the full automation.

for c in role.children():
     print(c)
     print(c._element_info.name)
