Watching Application Sub-Windows - again

Hi, I'd like to ask something related to this question made some time ago.
Is there any way of getting the text displayed by an application inside a message box window or child window (for example the typical "Do you want to save changes?") into a conditional if-then statement to send specific responses or abort the macro depending of the text displayed inside the child window?
Thanks.

No. RoboTask recognizes any windows by caption and class of window. For example: if you have two confirmation dialogs with same captions and classes, you can't distinguish these windows.

There was an old program back in 1995 called ClockMan that was able to read the text, and it was *very* useful, it allowed much precise control and error handling than delays and variables. Can you put it in the wish list and when it could be released? I'm evaluating RoboTask but I'm afraid I'd not buy it without this functionality.
Thanks a lot in advance.
