How To Copy Error Codes & Messages From Dialog Boxes In Vista.
You may have noticed that there are some Windows dialog boxes, like the Error message boxes, which do not let you copy the text on them. And you may want to copy those error codes and error messages so that you can search for them on the net.
Typing out the message is both time consuming and also prone to typos, besides the trouble you may have to take to switch between your browser and the message windows, in case the window is hidden.
Copying the error message and pasting it in Google or Live, is the best way to ensure that you are searching for the exact message. But unfortunately, most of these messages cannot be selected or copied in the normal way.
Grabtxt is a free program that lets you grab and capture text from such error message boxes. It is a single exe file and so there is no installation required. You can just run the file and start using it.
The highlighted text can then be used in online searches. The program can be useful if you need to copy an error message for a bug report or want to find out additional information via online search engines without having to manually type the text.
