Recognize normal text on the screen

My idea is so... The user put the cursor on a phone number from any program in the computer. He presses a Hot Key - and my program will dial the number. How do I recognize the text the cursor is on... If somebody can please bring a sample Thanks a lot

See if
IAccessible::get_accValue()is of any help."Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown

I did like this
if (SUCCEEDED(AccessibleObjectFromPoint(pt, &pacc, &vtChild))) { BSTR bsName = NULL; BSTR bsValue = NULL; pacc->get_accName(vtChild, &bsName); pacc->get_accValue(vtChild, &bsValue); }The question is - How do I get the place of the marker in a text box Thanks a lot -

I've solved this problem months ago and I build an application doing exactly what you need! Now for starters, how did I solved users choice for dialing the number from screen. I've notated that user must select something (he can select the whole screen for what I'm concern) then I send commands to simulate CTRL+C action, this forces to copy all selected to an a clipboard. It is easy to get selected data from clipboard, then parse for telephone numbers. At the time I was furious and was google-ing all kind of forums for accessibility and other stuff. Getting sick only remembering! Now I'm hoping this helps you a bit, feel free to replay me! P.S. For me the key thing was introducing the 'select what you want to dial', I could not seem to find another way for achieving my gold at the time!
