Getting errors with weird error codes when working on Windows is not unusual, and when we do, thank God we have Google (or whatever other search engine you prefer) to answer what the error message or error code means.
Now, the problem with these error boxes is that one cannot directly copy the error messages to their clipboard with a simple select and drag. Writing out each error word in the search field while regularly enabling Alt+Tab is the only option left.
Now, with GetWindowText, you can convert all those error box messages into text, which can be copied to your clipboard and can be used whenever needed. Talking about this tool, GetWindowText is a very small and portable utility that can work on the principle of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to read the mailbox as an image and convert it to editable text. It can read text from almost any Window or icon, the kind of text you can’t easily copy.
Whenever you have a window error box that you want to reproduce, run the GetWindowText application. Now, left click
and drag it over the message box where you want to read the text. When you see that the border of the text in your message box has a black frame, left click to display the text in GetWindowText.
Note: While testing the product, I was not able to generate any error message box with fatal error code. However, I’ve used it on several Windows dialogs and I’m sure it will work on error messages as well.
You can now copy this text to your clipboard and use it anywhere.
The program can also read list view, tree view, combo view and selection fields on Windows Explorer. One can turn these features on and off from the program options menu. Moreover, you can automatically start the program with Windows and it hardly takes up any memory.
To try the program, I pulled the button down to the taskbar, the desktop was full of icons, the status bar, the title bar, the clock on the task bar and the program read the text.
My judgment
In the end, every Windows user will surely find GetWindowText useful. I find this app very handy to read and copy all the error messages making it easy to find and fix the problem.
