Capturing Text From Another Program
Is there a procedure that can be used to retrieve the text contents out of a
window that is part of an external program? I can get the hWnd of the
window but am unable to find any API commands that will help me go any
deeper into that window's contents. The target window doesn't contain
anything but the one text box (no menu, buttons, etc.)
(I am using Sendkeys to send data into that window and I need to see if it
is ready for more keys - so I want to retrieve the contents and parse
through them between words)
Any direction on this would be greatly appreciated.
