First of all: make a shortcut with HOTKEY ASSIGNMENT to CopyText.exe

A shortcut can be made by dragging CopyText.exe onto the desktop.
A hotkey could be assigned via Properties dialog:
  right click on the shortcut,
  menu item `Properties',
  panel `Shortcut' in the dialog,
  field `Shortcut key',
  press Ctrl+Alt+T (or another combination, if you like).

After that you can CopyText as follows:
  - place mouse cursor over the window or child control
  - press Ctrl+Alt+T (or any other combination that you assigned)
  - use help [?] caption button if you need further explanations.



How to...

...get the title of the application window:
  Place mouse cursor over its CAPTION and hit the shortcut key.

...get all lines from ComboBox (aka DropDown list):
  The best place to put mouse cursor is on the arrow at the left side.

...temporarily hide all icons from the desktop:
  Minimize all windows, call CopyText, press Hide



Warnings

This program may sometimes fail to get text, or even crash another
application. Unfortunately, the bugs of this sort are to be expected:
CopyText demands a certain default behavior from window classes of the
other applications. In some of cases, when these demands are
not met, CopyText cannot function properly.

For example, CopyText can't get text from MS Office menus and dialogs,
as well as from many other programs with fashionable "docking menus".
It can't handle MFC controls and COM objects, to say nothing of the
multitudes of proprietary control classes.



CopyText status
