The JAWS function GetWindowTextEx can optionally get the text of
controls inside a parent window, but I think it still only gets what is
visible on the screen. I seem to recall that JAWS 8.0 added a function
to get text, whether visible or not, but documentation searches have not
found it so far. Since I know you use Homer, you may find the following
helpful: EditText, PerlEditGetText, PerlListGetText, or
PerlComboGetText. If you have AutoIt installed, there is also
WinGetText, which gets the text of child controls inside a parent
window.
