Hi Ravi,
Thanks so much for your response.
I do use the Object Spy's Point and fix. Normally that does the trick but in this case it is still not enough. It does not work in this case because as soon as I move my mouse down to try and select the object I want, that object disappears. So I am never able to use Point and fix to select that object.
As far as the title method is concerned. I don't appear to have the title method on the parent object of the popup object.
I checked for the title method in the object browser of the parent object. I ran a search for title in the methods, Fields, and Properties tab and found no results. I also just tried to use the title method on my object without success.
My real aim here is to find out how to locate these types of popup/tooltip objects. I know it is possible because whoever wrote this script before me was able to find it and was able to use the GetText() method to get the contents of that object.
However, I was unable to use Object Spy's Point and fix to grab that object myself. I was also unable to find that object in the object browser. I need to learn what they did to get this object so i can repeat those steps for future cases where I need to deal with these types of objects.
Thanks so much for your help Ravi.
