 Reading text from another program's Rich Text Box

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to read the contents of a textbox
within a separate program?

Basically, I want to set a VB program to continuously check the contents of
an RTF text box in another program, and alert me when it changes.  I'll use
the timer for that part ... how do I subclass the control in the other
program?

Cheers
Tony

Make your project into an ActiveX Exe. Then you can use GetObject to
retrieve the currently running program.
