Hello, I use HP (formerly Mercury) QTP automation tool in my job. I have had to use the GetVisibleText and GetTextLocation methods to automate our application and this worked fine in Windows XP and prior but in Windows 7 it looks like the API text recognition is no longer supported. This is the statement made on HP's support site."Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 do not support the Windows API test recognition mechanism. Therefore, when you install this patch, the 'Use text recognition mechanisms in this order' option in the Options dialog box (Tools > Options > Text Recognition) is set to 'Use only OCR', and cannot be changed (the option is disabled)."The "Use only OCR" option is not working well for us and I was wondering if there was a way to re-enable the API method or if there was anything I could do to remedy the problem.Thanks,
