	screen scraping a Windows text box I want to write or obtain C++ code that will scrape text from a dialog box within a poker client, and then record that text somewhere else. What do I do? Thanks.

Thanks. You need to post in a newsgroup that deals with Windows. Something with microsoft or dos or windows in the name. Here we speak about the standard C++ language. Try searching at groups.google.com for a news group that deals with the kind of thing you are dealing with. Socks Hi, Assuming MS-Windows every window has an id. You have to try to get the id of the window somehow from the window hierarchy. After that GetWindowText might get the text. Or if you know the class name and window name use findwindow to get a handle to the window. Microsoft Spy++ utility might help a bit. Things to lookup on MSDN FindWindow GetWindowText Spy++ And maybe the following link: http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2007/01/16/spy-internals.aspx Regards, Ron AF Greve http://www.InformationSuperHighway.eu <WFD@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1180455312.337665.84800@p77g2000hsh.googlegroups.com... - Hide quoted text - >I want to write or obtain C++ code that will scrape text from a dialog > box within a poker client, and then record that text somewhere else. > What do I do?
