Controlling other applications?
-
Hello everyone! Is there a way to mess with other application's controls? I need to capture input from a text box from a specific program. Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's called subclassing. Basically you can steal any messages from the other window, modify it it, eat it, pass it on, or do whatever you want with it. Been awhile since I've done it, but you can replace an existing windows WndProc with your own, using SetWindowLong and GWL_WNDPROC. There are a ton of articles on CP, but can't seem to locate the one I was thinking of... [edit] Look at CWnd::SubclassWindow or CWindowImpl::SubclassWindow if using ATL/WTL. [/edit]

WM_GETTEXT and WM_GETTEXTLENGTh will help!, and for reteriving Window Handle of particular Control! use FindWindow Api

Hmm... Well, thanks all for your suggestions! :) However, I doubt any of these work on Internet Explorer controls... And how would I get the window text if it always changes depending on the page being viewed? Please don't think I'm teh skr1pt k1dd1e, I need this for something else. ;P Thanks!
