Not sure if you still remember on programs that allows you to copy text messages from dialog boxes? I have previously listed a total of 7 free programs that can do that but unfortunately some of the links are no longer valid. Here is another one called GetWindowText created by the same developer of the popular Q-Dir file manager. GetWindowText was first released on September last year and has been in continuous development until today.
GetWindowText is free and portable. In order to use it to copy the text from control boxes, run the executable file, left click on the question mark icon and hold it. Then drag the mouse cursor to the box that you want it to read. The text that is read will be instantly displayed at the GetWindowText window. It can read almost all text from Edit, Static, Groupbox – Controls, etc. One unique feature is GetWindowText supports directory trees (SysTreeView32), combobox, and list views (SysListView32) to read the entire contents. Try reading the left navigation bar on Windows Explorer and you will see that all contents are copied.
GetWindowText runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating system.
