        Your question is to vast. You should more specify what you need, because it is complicated to answer you for this kind of question.

          thanks for your reply ok so let me make my question more specific. the core of the program is to watch a specific application for message boxes, dialog boxes, or error message boxes. then get the text from the message box then put it in a log file then preferably simulate a click event on the OK button of that message box lets say that an application generates that a message box saying that a file is missing id like to get that message then save it into a log file. hope this will explain clearly

            My question is, if I understood you right, do the "Watcher" application and the application that display the messageBox are the same one? If not, can they be the same application? If it is not same application, take a look at the following links: http://bytes.com/groups/net-vb/363935-extracting-text-another-application[^] http://www.dreamincode.net/code/snippet2117.htm[^]
