Navigating Through Open Systems Sessions

This sample finds text on the screen and prints the text on that row.

To run this sample in the Reflection demo, create a VT session with the Host IP address set as demo:Unix and log in with any credentials. Then enter "demodata" and run the macro from the screen that contains the "XYZ Company Monthly Sales" table.

Sub FindTextOnScreen()
    Dim Point As ScreenPoint
   
    'Get the point on the display on which the data table starts
    Set Point = ThisScreen.SearchText("Month ", 1, 1, FindOptions_Forward)
 
    'Increment the row from the header row to first row of data and get the first row
    Debug.Print ThisScreen.GetText(Point.Row, Point.Column, ThisScreen.DisplayColumns)
   
End Sub
