doubt in VC++ regarding Message Box
-
:confused:How to Extract information stored in the main part of any Message box window after it displays on Desktop? I want to retreive all the arguments send to Message box. The Message box is owned by a different application.
No matter who owns the messgae box. After something is displayed on the screen, it is no more available as text it will be bitmap. You will need to use OCR. I dont know if there is an alternative. I dont know if
GetWindowText()will work. But you will need the handle of that window still. :rose: -

Do the following 1. if u dont have the window(messsagebox) get it using FindWindow or some other API 2. GetNextWindow (pass GW_CHILD) as the flag to find the window. I donno in which order the windows has placed in teh message box. so iterate till end. 3. Use GetWindowText by passing the find result. this is applicable if the message box is created using normal MessageBox API. SaRath

I guess this would work only to catch its caption.:~

I feel it is very difficult to solve this problem. But I believe there is a solution for all problems. So here is a spark: We can manually copy the entire text and caption form a message box using Ctrl+C (am not sure, will it work for all the message boxes). Check the link : http://secretgeek.net/msgbox\_copy.asp http://weblogs.asp.net/chuckop/archive/2004/04/08/110153.aspx So my idea is: What about simulating the Ctrl + C and take the text from clipboard? It is only a spark :~

Yup Alok, that's what I knew, it would internally use GETTEXT, but why does this get supressed when its called by GetWindowText? I tried to take the text off a notepad, but I failed there. Actually I got the handle of notepad's client window from spy ++ and tried GetWindowText, but didn't work. so you mean, here sending GETTEXT would work??
